Default Viper VS S2000

I pull up to a light next to a Viper this morning. I decide what the heck and I rev at him. He looks over and kinda giggles. I rev it up to 9k, smile at him, and give him the finger. I have never been raped in a race so badly in my life. I swear he was 20 car lengths ahead of me. His car sounded like an F-16 taking off. At the next light we chatted for a second. Come to find out its a twin turbo Viper. I was going to do a ricer fly by but I couldn't catch up to him again.

True, but you have to know your limitations, Vipers are way out of your league in terms of straightline racing.... Is your S2k stock?

Come on guys! You pull up next to a Viper, aren't you going to egg him on just to watch him take off?

I love watching those things go, along with Ferrari's.

I pulled up next to a '03 Cobra, and upon realization it was a Cobra, I was like "Awww f*ck!" I took off normal, he took off slowly, then I hear a squeel behind me and he's gone. Of course I nailed the throttle too just for the hell of it!

Vipers are mean, especially the 3rd gen ones. Those stock first gen only run low 13's. An SC S2000 should hold its own against those.
