Oh ya, ha, no i'm 15 actually, but have a good friend who's 22, so I can drive with him in the car.( my parents trust me with there cars, I have been driving since I was like 6, and cars are my life) I never meant to sound like they were my trucks/cars, sorry for the confusion. Anyway, you got your truck back? Let's hear some good roasting stories!!

I Just SPANKED a viper


He watched me prep his car......
I was behind him as we left the dealership.....
I was in my Vette

He was In his brand new Viper

we got up to the red light at the same time.... he was on my right
it seemed to take forever but the light finally turned green
we launched at the same time but at the top of first I had a nose on him......
2nd gear went quick.....he stayed right there at my door
We hit third and I was GONE!!! I smoked a Viper!!!!
True story.... Somewhat...
His Viper had only 11 miles on it (I put them on)
He kept his New car under 3K rpm .... Break-in
But I got Him right????

For a second there I thought I was going to have to find a BS flag smiley to post.[sm=smiley36.gif] Not saying that your Vette is slow, but I know that the GTS Viper's could turn 11.9 in the 1/4, I've only seen one magazine that finally did it after an entire day at the track. And since the new ones have better everything and 50 more ponies, but then again a lot of it is up to the driver as well.

i'd be surprised if a regular driver could get the viper in the 12's. i know they are surelly capable but a normal driver is not. you have to know when is the best rpm to launch at and watch tire spin etc. many factors, and very unlikely a regular joe schmoe could do it.
