Default Had encounter with a Viper

Alright, my car is pretty much stock ( have Sparrow exhaust) and I know Vipers are a LOT faster than the S. I was cruising around with my Brother and we meet a Viper RT/10 at a light. We both look slackjawed and give the driver compliments and beg to hear that beast. He laughed and barely reved it. Then he really lets the beast loose and I finally get to hear it. I start to rev and get up to about 7000-7200 RPM. As soon as the light turns, we both drop the hammer. I got a half car length on him.........in first........then his tires quit spinning ( a little ) and he passes me like I'm a three legged dog trying to run backwards. The guy was very cool and actually complimented me on the S. The Viper is awsome! I live in a semi rural area, so we don't see many Vipers, let alone S2K's.

Hey, be nice!! My dogs all have four legs, thank you very much. And yes, it was a blast getting my a$$ handed to me. I don't know much about the Viper, but you cannot go wrong with raw power. I think I caught him off guard with my great (for once) launch. LOL, I beat a Viper by a half a car length dawg!

Nice!

Here in the capital of Kansas, you won't see many S2000s or Vipers. So while driving my S, I get lots of stares. The most enjoyable stare I have got thus far was from a dude in a brand new red Viper. Funny to see someone in a Viper gawking at a S2000.
