If you think that's good, check this out:

The video is unedited, and there is foul language.

However, this is not a hoax. The car in question is a 1991 Saturn SL2, stripped down to 1800 lbs with a 150 shot of nitrous, Garrett turbocharger, and drag slicks.

It was kind of a sad sight for the Vette owner, but my buddies who own the Satty were stoked and hunting Vipers afterwards.

Now that I've totally hijacked the thread...

After the guy in the yellow Vette lost to my buddy's Saturn, we never saw him again for the evening.

We wanted to know what he had under the hood, to see if the engine was bone stock. We know he had some drag slicks on there, but it didn't seem to help him...

The yellow vette would have to have been bone stock if he had drag radials and ran mid 13s in an lt1

Could not see the video but I have some news for you, you can buy a $5,000 C3 and put a $5,000 406ci in it and for 10,000 bucks you can beat most Ferraris, in a drag race anyway

I'd probably not hunt for any Vipers if I only ran a 13.2 at 103 mph. Fairly quick for a Saturn, but not particularly quick in ViperLand.

They'd get it handed to them. So much for boasting then!

There were Vipers that were running in the 13's that night, so they wanted to go up against one and see if they could beat one, or at least have a close run.

However, none of them wanted to race the Saturn after they beat the Vette.

And yes, we kind of figured the C4 was bone stock, running drag slicks, to get beat by the Saturn...
