Arrow CLS 63 AMG vs 2002 Dodge Viper GTS

Nice car...he saw me stopped behind him at a light...unfortunately he a car in front of him and we both had cars to our left (we're in the right lane of a four lane road). As the light turned green, the car in front of him left quickly which allowed him and I to get into the left lane. He hit it as he moved into the left lane and I gladly followed him right on his tail (We hit it around 20mph). I stayed dangerously close on his tail and just as I shifted into third I had to pass him moving into the right lane. As I slowly started to move past him (my front end was at his passenger-side door, he let off. Good fun, we exchanged greetings as we came to a light...He had 460HP 500LB ft of Torque. I thought I would beat him more convincingly...Oh well...

Great kill!

What do you think would be the result if you had more room? How many car lengths could you have pulled on him?

Oh crap wait. I was rushing and actually didn't read that fully properly.

Did you kill him or was he ahead by a little bit?

He was ahead of me only because we started because I was behind him...I started to pass him and he let off.

Viper has less weight to get into orbit than the CLS.

Yeah. I am.

It's the older Viper GTS stock right? Then the CLS63 should be able to pull it by at least 1 or 2 car lengths.
