Pulling out of my neighborhood onto sem. blvd to head out to the local little store to pick up a pack of cigs for my brother I saw some pecular looking headlights coming up in my rear view awfully low to the ground and I think to myself ... is that a viper? As he was headed by me I got on it to pace him to see if he wanted to play. He's next to me, I get the laugh from him and his passenger, then he revs, needless to say I passed up my destination with this oppurtunity . So i swing by the car infront of me and line up next to him and I shake my head because I'm about to take a beatdown. From about a 45mph roll i don't bother to downshift because i figure I'm going to get walked either way. So I left it in 3rd and rolled it on to give him ample time to downshift before I put it to the floor, once his car hit that low gear (it was kind of loud) I nailed it and got a "healthy" move on him. So I'm still losing him from about a 4 or 5mph jump i had on him and put approx. 2 cars on him from my head start. He gradually makes up for that and at 110 he winding that big v10 to the redline from what it sounded like walked up next to my door and then let off, thumbs up exchanged and I was a happy camper that I could entertain a viper for a good 7 seconds of its night, Well, it was fun while it lasted, maybe I'll give you more of a challenge next time
