Another Snake Kill>>
Well besides my getting my windshield broken today I was talking with a bunch of my friends at a parking lot tonight and a guy with a blue 97 viper pulled up and parked next to my car. The guy asks whose car it is and I say mine, he says, "Are they as bad as they say". I tell him grab his keys and find out... it was on from there. To make a long story short I showed him they are as bad as they say. That makes two kills for me:smash: . Now let me add that this guy was a great sport just like Garry and we talked later about his mods and mine as well. He is getting more done to his car and promised me we would race again.. Now that’s what I call fun..
By the way I am going to try to find Marty with his 650R viper soon so we can run, I mean so he can hand me my butt.
:cheers: :cheers:

Re: Another Snake Kill>> (C5-VERT)
Chuck73 my mods are in my signature, he had a new corsa exhaust system I didn’t even know they made one for Viper but I do now.
C5-VERT sorry I didn’t make it out to Big Toes I went to a car show for a while at the Georgia Mall then ended up spending time with my lady. I am sure we will meet up soon.

Re: Another Snake Kill>> (opticZ06)
Hey, optic have you ever driven a Viper at the track? Just wondering how you would do with one. It would be interesting if one of the Viper owners would let you make a pass with a Viper.
BTW seen your new dyno # in another post, congrats. I'm sure you will put it to good use :yesnod: You run some really awesome times with the Z

Re: Another Snake Kill>> (97GTS)
Thanks for the words 97GTS I drove Garrys Viper after the race. It is a very interesting car to drive but yes I would love to bang the gears going down the track. It is more of a race car feel than mine I think. Maybe when Garry and I hook up again we can trade cars and do the 1/4 mile that sounds like fun. I see you are from Flordia I will be back down in Orlando in two weeks maybe we can do Orlando speed word or something.

Re: Another Snake Kill>> (97GTS)

Re: Another Snake Kill>> (opticZ06)
Hey Optic. You should cruize on up to Nashville this September. I believe they are having the VOI at the Opryland Hotel. There should be lots of Vipers, both stock and modded! The track in Bowling Green is only about 35 minutes away from the hotel. Hopefully I'll have some good mods by then. I'm looking forward to meeting some nice people with nice cars. :)
