Feel the draft...

I was cruisin on the 5 north in san diego today, minding my own business, when I noticed a black blur coming up very fast. I could tell what it was at the time, but i was locked in cruise control at 75, and this thing was gaining super fast. A few more seconds and the thing blew past me doing at least 140. Few seconds after that the draft from the car hit me, and damn near knocked me into the next lane. From what i could tell when it passed me, it was a viper, but from the looks of it, not an ordinary one. I was heading north for quite some time when i eventually came up on the viper. Jet black Twin Turbo Viper ACR..... I damn near **** myself looking at the thing. It had a few small ACR and tuning shop stickers on the side, and a twin turbo vinyl sticker across the back bumper. Damn good lookin car, with performance to match. I wonder what kinda hp he's making.

Edit: Actually this happened a little bit ago, but i saw the viper again today, and reminded me of the story.

back in the day i had a cro-vic police interceptor, and while driving down 93 at 80 MPH in NH a state trooper blew past me going over 120mph in one of the LT1 powered Caprices, and even THAT car shook, so it doesn't suprise me that a 2500lb civic was blown all over the road.....roooaaaahhd (anyone seen supertroopers???)
