ha ha, I know the feeling. I couldn't resist eating some LS2 Goat the other night myself! He pulled the same "dash off the fwy".

Awesome work!!

 

Sweet looking car and great kill! I can't see you smoking Z06s with 114 mph trap speeds though. Most of the Z06s I have seen trap in the 123-125 range with a decent driver. They are VERY hard to launch on stock tires though so I you got a good jump I could see you holding one off for awhile anyway.

 

Nice kill.

 

Don't forget the "driver" factor, most of those Z06 drivers are not seasoned drag strip veterans like Uber is.

 

The guy in the Viper should have suspected something was up when he saw the roll bar!!

Awesome man!

I wish I was there just to see the look on his face

 

Ya gotta do what ya do. Ah yes, the ultimate of all kills. That's okay though, your baby still loves you..

 

MEEEE TOOOO! Besides, when you get out of your car, you're not gonna burn the **** out of your legs on the door sills.
GO 'STANGS!

 

The Viper driver's expression was priceless only to be compared to the look of sheer terror on my wife's face as we were screaming down the road.
My highest trap speed this year was 118 MPH. Not nearly as high as those C-6 Z06 Vettes but high enough to take them on the street. I played with a C-5 Z06 before also. Those new Z06 don't lauch very well. I have taken them right off the line and then held them off. They sound awsome though. I am sure with a good set of drag tires and an experience driver I would be toast.
I never see Z06 Vettes at the track I hang at. Never seen a Viper there either. I'd love to play at the track with them. There are lots of low 11-second and high 10-second Terminator Cobras there though! I would love to compete with them someday when I do forged rotating assembly and 14 lbs boost.
It's all fun as long as we are safe while playing! I respect him for trying to smoke my Stang.... it just didn't work out that way!

Most likely a bad driver. My buddy's old 03 Viper trapped 120-121 stock in 80 degree weather. They aren't geared for drag racing really. First gear goes over 60 mph.

 

I dont know what it is but everyone wants to race my car........

 

excellent taste you'e got there!!

 

I disagree, I think most people assume those rollbars in verts are for show.

 

How is the car on street tires? Does it just blow out the tires? I am looking at a Whipple and am curious. My car has a bunch of suspension mods and I am running 275/40/18 RE050A Pole Positions all around.

 

Then she doesn't ride with you anymore. Problem solved.

 

Yeah, then she moves out entirely.
Well at least mine did.

 

If she moves out entirely over something like that, then she has done you a favor in the long run, IMHO.

A woman [or man, for that matter] who makes paltry demands/ultimatums, and is always telling their partner what to do, is a woman/man not worth having around, because at that point it's not about a relationship, it's about power and control.

That must be it, because most SRT-10s are doing 120+ trap speeds.

 

Bravo. Your car is very deceiving. Viper got more than he bargained for...

to you good sir!

 

I was trapping at 118 MPH on Friday night. Do you think + or - 2 MPH make that much difference? We only made it to about 80 MPH or so on the street encounter.
