My wife and I were going out for pizza last night. We were heading East on a local six-lane with the top down. I stopped at a light and was waiting for it to change to green. I see in my mirror a new (05-06) beautiful silver Viper pulling up to my right and then he stopped next to me at the light. I looked over at him and he looked back and nodded.
My wif said, "Don't do it, don't do it". The light changed to green.
He hit it. I rolled for about 15 feet and then I hit it all the way. I could hear his car screaming over mine. You could not imagine how big my smile was when I passed him and pulled two cars on him by 80 MPH.
We came up on some traffic and both had to slow. he quickly changed over two lanes and took off again, apparently embarrassed that his expensive Viper was just smoked by a lowly Mustang. Even my wife enjoyed that kill!

 

What mods have you done to your vehicle?

 

Does your car run in the 11's? I'm pretty sure that the new vipers are low 12 or 11 second cars stock...

 

That is one sweet kill! I am also curious as to what you have done to your ride.

 

Seeing that he runs 11.85s ...
Nice slay

Attaboy Gerry.

 

Congratulations, I'm sure that was the last thing he suspected and probably ruined his evening.

 

What mods do you have? I have the Saleen supercharger and I am not in the 11s. Low 12s maybe but not 11s. I am curious to know what you have under the hood?????

 

If your Saleen is stock then it won't generally run 11's out of the box, it would need a pulley and a tune at a minimum.

 

Given he posted 11.855 @ 114.06 I belive him. The Viper driver probably sucked.

 

Probably what was going through his mind "What the **** just happened?"

 

I have an intercooled KB @ 10 psi , Stage III trans, 3200 billett stall, 3.73, custom 6-point rollbar, aluminum driveshaft etc. etc. etc.


I ran 11.7 Friday night at the track 3 times out of 4 runs.
1.6 for my 60' time.

I have smoked Z06 before but never a newer Viper. It was even more satisfying because of the V-10. I think he was speachless!

 

Nice. I love it.

 

U da man! Nice kill. I was rolling after reading your wife saying "don't you do it.. don't you do it".. and you buried the pedal anyway! I fully understand. My wife told me she won't drive with me anymore if I can't learn to refuse challenges

 

Yes she hates when I get in stoplight encounters....
I had to do it though, as I explained to her. How many chance encounters like that happen?

 

that's awesome

 

An 11 second vert..... that's awesome man, nice ride!

 

Nice. Your car is very deceiving looking...

 

Nice,
you smoked him with an automatic transmission too! That makes it even more sweet since you could have been waving at him while you were making him eat your dust.

 

I can't condone...oh screw it...AWESOME!

 

I have owned many Mustangs:
1968 GT K code stick
1969 Mach 1 428 CJ stick
1985 GT vert stick
1987 GT vert stick
1991 LX auto
2006 GT auto but.........

I love the five speed auto in this car the best for going fast! It performs really well at the track. I would not want a stickshift with the blower in this car. The auto is consistent too. I ran 11.7 three times and 11.8 once on Friday's test & tune. The 11.8 was after driving to the track without cool-down.
Auto with stall speed rocks with forced induction!
1.6 60 ft time with stock suspension says it all. I am still working on my launch technique so next week we will brake-torque it to 3200 RPM on launch to try and knock down that 60' some more.
