E55 vs. Viper GTS (Big Bird)
Ran into a Viper GTS with a passenger. 2 runs from the line. I had no traction down low and he was able to pull a car, however in the mid range I easily pulled him in and passed both times with relative ease before triple digits. Was expecting more from him, but then looking up the specs, low 12 second car stock with 450hp.
Makes sense, at least it looked fast. Sorry, did not have my GoPro mounted. All runs were in Mexico on a private road.

Probably have over 10 SS Camaro kills, Challengers-99% slow, and Fords-well over 20. Fastest cars I ever went up against were Z06 C6's and an Integra.

'06 E55
I got smoked 2 times in a row on an 1/8th mile track by a freaking DSM Eclipse. He would just dump the clutch while bouncing off the rev limiter and that AWD did all the work while I was fighting wheelspin halfway down the track. I was reeling him in hard, but there just wasn't enough room. I trapped like 7mph higher.
My ricer excuses: Tires were worn to the wear bars. It was cold and couldn't get any traction. I had the slow lane. I didn't bother to air down my tires.
