Default Was anyone watching??

Did anyone see last night on "The Superstation" Ripley's Beleive it or Not! Show?? Well they showed on TV a Dodge Viper going up against the famous F-16. They showed the actual race. It clearly showed the viper beat out the F-16 on the 1/4 mile.. BUT in the 1/2 mile the F-16 pulled out and one by like 2 secs (around that). It was REALLY cool to see.

Hmmm, I guess the F-16 didn't get a good launch. A stock F-16 should own the Viper anytime. If it was a block 50 F-16... fagheddaboudit!

I'm not so sure Henessey has much to do with Vipers anymore. His name is pretty much "MUD" with the Viper community.

I don't know what viper it was... Not the Venom though... (i think?) Anywho... I didn't get much of the specs since a friend called me and told me to change it to that channel.. so I caught it when they were just about to take off. The driver of the Viper I found out though... it's his "job" to test Vipers out... wish I could do that for a living.. :::sigh:::
