We had a cruise today with a bunch of vettes, vipers, supras, a ferrari 355, nsx, rx-7, etc. I ran a newer gunmetal viper gts. We went from a 60 mph roll and I started in 3rd gear. We were side by side for a second untill my turbo spooled, and then I got a car length on him, and then slowly pulled. I had my eyes on the road so I didn't look to see how far back he was before I let of at 150 something, maybe 2-3 cars back. One of the guys got it on video so hopefully I'll be able to post a link soon when he uploads it. We went again from a 2nd gear roll, but I missed 3rd gear. I have up at that point and he flew by me. I found out later that he had exhaust and no cats, so I'm assuming full exhaust. It was pretty loud and sounded mean. Also ran a couple vettes with no trouble. I got my *** handed to me by a supra though, who was making at least 600 rwhp. We went form a 3rd gear roll and he slowly pulled away from me. When we backed off I was maybe 3 cars back. I wasn't dissapointed as he was making alot more power than me.

 

damn thats sweet.

 

Nice kill! Always good to be able to say you can beat a Viper GTS.

 

Good kills.... sounds like that 35/40 is a sweet turbo for the 7.

 

pimp ****!!

 

:bigok: can't wait to see the vid!

 

nice!

 

YEAH !!!! 7'S RULE!!!!

 

I know this isn't a 100+ MPH highway blast. But.. I just beat a Viper GTS in this past weekends Autocross. He was trying so hard to beat me too. We were both in the ASP class and in the 3rd heat he ran a 37.05 to my 37.07 best. I then went out and threw down a 35.99 but hit 3 cones after the finish!! (yes, they count for 6 seconds of penalties). Then I went out and ran a 36.25 and he ran a 36.47.



I took 1st place



BTW - My TII has 225 RWHP and runs on 255 rear tires. Viper man was left shaking his head in disbelief.

How is that possible?

Was that some feat of car handling or was it straight line acceleration or what?
