I was at a red light waiting for it to turn green so I could make my turn when a red Viper came through the intersection at a pretty quick pace. My light changes and after making the turn I end up next to him at another light. I wasn't sure if he would want to plya so I left the light kind of quick with him out ahead of me, I shifted into 2nd and gave it enough gas to pull even with him. I guess that was enough for him to gun it. I followed suit and ended up giving him about a half a car lead on me. Third gear made that up for me and maybe a little pull, but 4th gear was enough to start pulling nicely. Speeds started to near the excessive mark so with him at my back bumper I let off and slowed down to cruising speed. I dropped back along side him and gave him the thumbs up but he looked kinda sour.
In any case it was a nice impromptu run that I really wasn't sure of the outcome. I don't know alot about Vipers but it looked to be an older one with the ragtop roof and center exit exhaust, which I'm told they went to in '96.
