Off subject, but all of this Viper talk makes me think of a great time in my life. The Viper just came out...I believe 1991??? I was maybe 17 yrs old and I had a 78 Trans Am w/ a heavily modified 455 and a 4 speed standard transmission. I just finished with the engine build and break-in and decided to go to the local track to see how the car was going to run. The engine made TONS of power(more than the Viper), but the car no NO traction(like the Viper, lol). What did they line me up against??? Yep, a new Viper, the first I or anyone there, likely, had ever seen. I was sure I was done, but by the end of the quarter, I had beaten that shiny, new, uber-expensive Viper by right at a second! Sorry I don't remember the exact time. The feeling of "my car that I built with around $15K just smoked the car that you just bought for around $100K." The look on the guy's face was priceless!!! That was such a fun car, but I do not miss getting 2-3 mpg at all! That is definately a car that I wish I could have back. 10.70s on street tires at 137mph...no traction takeoff, but she was coming on hard at the top end. Good times!!! Sorry for my rambling. I tend to do it sometimes anymore, haha
