Default The Vette's new friends

After I purchased my Z06 (8/10), my roommates decided to follow suit. Myself and the owner of the Elise are actively involved in SCCA events and are working on getting the other 2 into it. Enjoy the pics

I was about to say I drove one of those old Vipers not too long ago and that it was a dog.

I would imagine that blower really wakes it up though.

Not doubting your word, but that is the first time I have ever heard of a Viper being referred to as a dog.

It was one of the 450hp ones. My friend and I both thought it was slow. Like not faster than my stock LS1 GTO.

Maybe there was something wrong with it.

We haven't really run the Viper all that hard yet. 700 horsepower with no T/C or A/H makes it a little intimidating. The seats and 5 point harnesses are really nice, the brakes leave a little bit to be desired (a lot more pedal force required than my Z06), but all in all it is a really fun car.
