Well, in May a friend of mine is getting married and for their "charriot" they are renting a Viper GTS. Now he has suggested that since he has the car for 4 days, I come down and we line up.

Now, I know vipers are beasts of a car, so I hoping to have at least the injectors on by then and be tuned ok. If everything goes perfect, I will have 13g's on, but I don't think I will need them.

I think it will be a pretty good match, if I don't have the advantage. By advantage I mean, it is a rental and probably improperly broken in, and I will have more "seat time" then he will. So while he is spinning his tires, I will just be putting some distance on him.

Anyway, what do you think my chances are? My performance mods by then will be:

Greddy Profec eo-1
Greddy emanage
Greddy Type-s BOV
DSR stock size lightened pulley
K&N intake
3" downpipe (unknown make, but has precats, main cat and flex section)
3" catback (unknown make, but I think either HKS superdragger or a borla of sorts)
DN ypipe
450 injectors
walboro 255 FP

I will also hopefully have replaced my blown shocks (grr, that is what happens when you cut springs...old owner was a hoser), and I will be running stock 18's.

If I get the turbo's on by then, I think I have it in the bag unless we go from a roll, then it will be very interesting (to see how badly walked I get).

I am sure he will want to go from both dead dig and a roll.

Oh, I will also have it taped. :D

I'm not even sure I can beat a viper with 15g's. Those suckers are fast, most of them are 11 stock out of the lot. On the street from a stop or light yes most likely, but he will catch up. On the highway forget it. Those things trap at 120mph

I figure from a dead dig on the street I should have him. He won't have the experience to launch and handle the power, so I have a feeling he will just liquify the tires. He will real me in at the end, but I think it will be long past the 1/4 mark.

From a roll I think I am dead. Unless he is the worlds worst driver, which I don't think is the case, I don't think it will be all that close.

FOr sure you will take him from a stop -- probably up to somewhere in 2nd... Then bye-bye...

eheh yeah Viper's are very quick! Even a RT/10 would be very hard to keep up with! But if he sux at shifting you might pull it off.

Make sure to race him right when he gets it!:D So that way when he floors it when it's stopped he'll just spin out like mad:)
