Well, it sure has been a while since I’ve been around. What did I miss? Are there any new members?
Anyway, it was Friday night last week when I ran into one… a brand new blue/white striped SRT-10 Viper coupe. I knew it wasn’t something I should try but that little devil in me pointed out the paper plates on that thing. Hmmmm.. So here we go. I spent a few miles up close on it’s azz going about 75.. Then I realized it jumped to 85.. Then, 95. Okay so the driver must have wanted to see what these things could do. I was nervous because that 10 extra HP and 10 extra lbs./sq. ft. could really make a difference. Plus I’m a hair close to stock, but the devil in me suggested that he was too. He tried to maneuver at high speed around traffic but was dead ended. I switched to an open lane and shifted down to 5th. Gone.. But as I suspected he’d be back and soon. As I allowed #1900 to slow to 100, here he comes whipping by me. Okay so I dropped the hammer to 4th and was right up on him again. I could tell he was getting aggravated because he started weaving so I couldn’t pass him. But he seemed to have almost lost control (125 now) and tried to get his coupe stabilized. It was then I was able to overtake him and just happened to hit a clear straight-away. 125..130….135….140…..145.. Close to 150. He was inching up little by little on me but then it was time to slow it down. I opened the window and gave him a friendly thumbs up. That guy must have been pissed that he spent that much on his and was unable to shame me. The coupe had some real good pick up power, but I’m not sure the driver was too experienced.
