Even with his V10 he wasn't going anywhere! You must have one sweet E55!

Thanks for sharing.

He just got the car retuned and said he made like 4hp less than me and 4tq less than me. I was surprised he didn't pull away considering it is several hundred pounds lighter and I am even on 20" wheels too. If he hit the gas at the same time it was dead locked on and I feel I would ever so slightly creep ahead way up top until one of us would let off due to a car coming up ahead in our lane.

What's surprising? The vid said the cars are making about the same power and the Viper weighs A LOT less than our cars.

To be honest, the Viper didn't appear like the best shifter, if not, he would've done a little better..

To put bluntly, because I have been around forums long enough to know most people's claims are bull****, and have yet to personally come across a quick Viper as get are not easy to drive. I almost bought one long ago. so it can 'say' 1k HP, means little.
