NOT!!!! What an idiot, I leave work to go to the bank and stop at this redlight. Some dude in a viper pulls up next to me (Still had dealer tags on it) and the guy looks over at me and says "You've seen the movie F&F? I could have beat that orange rice thing of a car....."
I just looked at him like the idiot that he was...then he revs his engnie real hard, light turns green and he peels away. WHAT AN IDIOT!!!
Just wanted to vent, I hate people like that.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]

think about it this way.... how would you act if you were behind the wheel of a car that very few other cars could beat and none of them are in this country? I might be a little cocky too, just not that ignorant and arrogant.

Yeah, but you could take your civic, dump another $ 20K into the engine and suspension and probably beat him for a fraction of what he paid for that car.

My friend's uncle took me for a ride in his Viper one time.
I was droolin all over the place the whole time.
Vipers are nice cars and I'd love to have one.
But when you think about it, Vipers aren't that bad ***.
I mean, there are some Supras that have just as much HP and torque as a Viper.
Plus, they are a bit lighter aren't they?

And yes, that guy sounded like a *****.
It probably wasn't even his car.
I bet he was just a valet or some guy who had to go wash his boss's car.[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

Yeah, but Honda/Acura or more known for their smaller/higher comprsssion engines with the electronic computers and high tech $hit. You give them a 8.0L V10, there going to look at each other and wonder what the hell to do w/ it. Thats what the Domestics are known for, high power, big engines, large displacement, no fancy VTEC or VVTLi or i-VTEC.
On a side note: I wouldnt mind seeing what a VTEC or VVTL-i could do on a Viper, who knows.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

well seeing as how the ferrari barely lost in the 1/4, the orange rice car only pulled ahead top end-wise, and vipers can beat ferraris...well.

Yea thats true but you still have a Civic and he still has a Viper[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

My neighbor has a Blue w/White stripes GTS, thats one bad *** car, it would take a lot of mods for a 4 cylinder to match his V-10
