Okay I havent had a race in a while so here goes.... This was a dream I had earlier today...On my way to drop my girlfriend's sister home I came up to the light at Fowler and Morris Bridge (the one before the i-75 entrance in Tampa, FL) and was patiently awaiting the light to turn green. I look in my mirror and see a blue dodge viper pull up next to me, it was clean, very clean. It was older black guy that was driving and he didn't seem to pay any attention to me so the light goes green. We both take off at the same time, I didn't try to launch so I just stepped on the gas and off I went, so did he :eek: . From a first gear I jumped on him and kept it until I shifted to second, I heard is engine roar as I see him pull about a car and a half on me but I shifted to third by then and it pretty much stayed that way until I had to jump onto the interstate. I was happy at the way my car actually kept up with it :D and happily went on my way.

Here is a pic of what it did look like, but its not the one I actually raced.

What modifcations do you have to pull on a viper from a roll? Not calling BS, but they're tuff shit from a roll and everyone else will ask.
It wasn't from a roll. It was from a stop. I was at the light, he pulled up, we waited for the green light to go. I went, he went, I stuck with him until I shifted to 2nd he pulled a car and a half and it was stuck that way through 3rd until I had to jump onto the interstate.
 
What mods do you have? Chances are if you hung with him like that, he wasn't going WOT, just wanted to show you that you didn't have a chance lol.. Vipers are definetly mean cars man!

Here is a link of my old time and information, since then I have done just things that would be able to let me hold my own.
unless one of those "things" involved the words "ball-bearing garret based turbo" or "20g setup" i doubt he was on it all the way. i have similar mods to those and can't keep up with c5's which would also get walked by a viper. i mean hell i was trapping 104 last year on teh 14b but would've never tried to mess with a viper.
 
Don't let those guys with the powerful V8s (or V10s - in this case) fool you :D . We all do the same stuff to Hondas while they "race" and we just cruise along at 1/2 throttle, then hammering the throttle for one short second and letting off again - just to show them what they're playing with. ;)
 
Ok, something's amiss here. That viper didn't race or this didn't happen. You're talking a car that stock traps in the 115-118 range (newer models are more like 120-122 :eek: ) and can 0-60 in around 4 seconds VS a FWD 14B powered car which has trapped a 101 (best EVER was a 113 pushed to the limits). All this happened from a stop in a FWD? There is no way.
Sorry man, but I'm assuming the viper was just toying with you.

I was waiting for someone to be logical here. :)
 
I will not call bs although this smells a bit like it.

I have a question? Why were you dropping off your g/f sister? lol

What a dream eh. you finish with your g/f sister and then keep up with a viper.

Dont get offended im just messing around

Did you guys notice that I stated that I didn't win? I simply held my own with the viper for a short while until I had to get onto the interstate.

I said above that it was a dream because on the local msg boards that I am at, we all say that for liability, sorry I put that there.
 
what we're saying is that you wouldn't have even been able to hang with him for even a short while unless he was accelerating in like 5th or 6th gear from a stoplight.

You're retarded to even think a 101MPH trapping car can hang with *ANY* year Viper from a roll.

We're talking like 10+MPH in trap bud :)
