Crusing Around in Mexico: E55 vs Viper
I got bored on Saturday and decided to drive to mexico. First race my car lost traction, regained it, then took off. Second race i feathered the gas to much, and third race was perfect but he stopped too soon.
Brooke: That was a great baseline for the mods that are about to be installed! Much better than the M3 race.

nice runs! looks like the launch, whether stop or rolling, he got the jump but then you match the pull with your better drag coef. Would have been interested to see the run play out to the limiter. Looks like you were pulling! Nice.

Another well done Video! To bad that sneaky snake kept hitting the brakes. 
I would never go from 20-30 in second gear.. To low of a rpm in second and to low in your power range.. Most any M5-M6 grear box will out gear you at that range..
50mph is a great roll speed in second.. That is what I hit your cousin`s STI with a few weeks ago..
You really need to get the widest Drag radials you can handle and take these cars from a dig or 15-20mph roll.
Never go against a worthy advocate outside your gear range.. 45-55 mph only or don`t race.. No matter how hard they want you too.. Find your spot from a dig and and know when you can handle a low mph roll and not spin much..
The Z06 has to be taken from a dig on hot drag radials and or at the track. The Vette has to be stock too and or a so/so driver..

Nice pulls! Too bad he didn't have the ***** to stay in it and finish the fricken race. I guess he didn't want a 4 door sedan to reel in that sporty looking car of his. None the less thanks for sharing and great job representing MB.

Agreed that Viper driver is a total puss! He refused to do a complete run
as soon as you started to reel him in hard, he's braking like a queer passing ghey
parade. I'm certain his story/vidz on Viper forum made it look like you were never even close...

It doesn't matter what story he attaches to his video, he got owned by a family sedan! The funny thing is, when I rolled up to him and asked him if he wanted to race, he chuckled and said, "With This", haha.

Frustrating. The Viper pulled what road (cycling) bikers do on the road after they make a pass on an expensive bike. Realizing they burned all of their power trying to pass you, they make a right turn off the road so they don't get caught, passed and left behind.
