Killed by a Viper

At the start, I knew that I was biting off more than I could chew with this guy... it was a bright red first generation Viper with yellow rims, very clean. It was driven by an older white guy.

We never got a clean lineup at a light, but both times that we "went" we did it from a roll at around 20 MPH.

That said, I'm surprised I did as well as I did. He pulled half a length on me to about 60-65 mph, both times that we went. It's debatable as to whether or not he was really going for it, but, it was very very loud... open headers, maybe...

Never thought I'd do that well versus a Viper. Now I know!

Actually vs. a 1st gen I can totally see it, especially given driver mod, etc.

I tried going against a red 1st gen as well and he turned at the stop light instead. However, after reading some specs, I think I could manage a good run against an aging stock 1st gen!

Dodge Viper first generation
0-60 mph (97 km/h): 4.6 sec[3]
0-100 mph (160 km/h): 9.2 sec
quarter mile: 13.1 sec @ 112 mph (180 km/h)[3]
top speed: 164 mph (264 km/h)
I'm confident i'm in high 12's after my header/ecu install...so maybe I could even beat a 1st gen in the 1/4! That would be a sight to see
