New Viper gets smoked...

[moondog]

Beautiful day here, 65 and sunny...me and the guys were out swapping the lot around when I hear the unmistakable sound of a V-10 under hard acceleration. I wheel around just in time to see an older Honda 954 lay the smack down (about five real quick car links) on a brand new Viper. Viper knew he was beat and backed out of it gracefully. 954 was gone, never let up. I don't even think he knew he had won, but he wasn't taking any chances.... at first I thought maybe the Honda had just caught the Viper in the wrong gear. However, the group consincesis was that the Viper just got his ass handed to him. I do know one thing, the Viper had some loss of traction, broke loose right in front of us but he was already beat by then. Good thing it was a short race, Viper may have reeled him in on the highway. Anyway....thought I'd share. Still have goose bumps.....

He He... Poor cagers.... Poor 50 Something Viagra Popper in the Viper... Mid-life Crisis in effect... Mentally Vacant, Fake Titted, 20 something Ornamental Girlfriend sitting next to him...

Thanks Man... I know I know I'm off on some tangent... Still good to hear when one more cager gets an education...

Yer all about edumakatin' them cagers here lately, huh?

 

[moondog]

Rev, you could have been sitting in Atlanta Bread Co. accross the street....ya called it right. From what I could see, older gent with female. I'm quite sure he is still trying to convince her his foot slipped, wrong gear, didn't want to hit the dog, or just not broken in yet...

 

[WWJD]

MMMMMMmmmmmmmmm... 20ish trophy girlfriend...... I bet I could snare one if I owned a Hummer...

 

[moondog]

Not me...tried it. I think I heard one girl say to the other - hey, look at the old pervert in the hummer. Next time I'm thinking about leaving my clothes on.....

A couple of years back, when I first got into mustangs, I was cruising down Bragg Blvd. in fayettenam NC. Stopped at the light on the post and low a behold a new yellow viper pulls up beside me and starts reving the shid out of that pos,Now me with thinking I have no chance with my 306 gt, said what the hell, the light turns green and were off,I ride the clutcha tad to try to control spinning, were side by side through 2nd,I power shifted 3rd and it was over,the gt jumped about 4 car lengths out in front and stayed about 4-5 till we let off.We met up again at the next signal, and the officer(army) driving the viper, dipping his wayfarers at me said "lets try that again" , now not known to him,after we let off, I reached behind my passenger seat and turned my bottle on knowing this wasnt over, I said "cool", the light went green,again we're close through 1rst, then when I shifted to 2nd, I sprayed him through 2nd,3rd and 4th,I didnt see him, it was like he was in reverse! I let off and continued on into Fayettenam,I got to the signal at McDonalds and here he is again pulling up beside me, He said that Ford runs good! I asked him how much he paid for the Viper and he said in the 50 range,I told him he just got beat by a $4,500 car,I could tell by the look on his face he was trying to figure out how this could be so I thought I would help with his querry and reached for the purge button,After he saw this big spew of nitrous flying over my windshield he gave me the thumbs up an said he'd find me again. I said I'll be around.If he should see me again,he's in for surprise, the car now is a 331 stroker with a big shot plate instead of the small dose he got that day!

Okay, I will repeat my Viper story then add another.....both true and remember, I ride like a pussy.

story 1......pimple face teenager in VIPER pulls up to me while on my busa and says....well well well...what have we here?

I respond by flipping up my shield and saying "what we have here is a monumental mismatch of biblical proportions....I'm not even going to waste my f***king gas on you. Now, go home and tell your daddy to get you a Lamborghini and then, maybe then we will talk.


Story 2. I'm doing 80 or 90 in the cornfields and just taking in the scenery. All of a sudden a silver/grey viper pulls along side and passes me. I let him pass cuz I'm enjoying Gods beautiful country. I catch up to him (and his buddy in the passenger seat) at the next town where there are a couple of stop signs and a traffic light. He plays games with his accelerator but I don't bite because we are in town. Finally, we are back in the cornfields and he bolts quickly he and passenger stick there hands out the window and wave bye bye in a very insulting way.
I downshifted rolled the throttle and started catching up. Then I let seabiscuit really cut him down. I passed him at about 110 and saw he was gunning to catch me...but by the time I hit 140....he was 10 car lengths behind me and becoming smaller in my mirror and I started to slow because there was no way he'd catch me in any reasonable distance or time.... I waved back and they laughed and realized you don't beat the busa at that speed band.

Hahahaha.....
You guys are biased and funny about it.
Would you like to hear the stories about a single digit Mustang who walked the GSXR 1000??
You know damn well you got it all over those poor bastards - and they deserve every beat down you give them.
But I remember a time when a kid on a GSXR told me my primer Mustang wasn't about to beat a bike..... LOL! He left the scene of the crime after he got left like yesterday!
LOL!
Every dog has their day.

Funny #### though. Do the cagers just not know??
A friggin SV650 will outrun a Viper in the 1/4 on street tires w/ most drivers.

Good stories!!! You'd be suprised that a lot of people do not get the the concept of power to weight ratio.

 

[billbell]

Wish I coulda seen it! Jap is where it's at! Too bad america can't come up with a bike to stand up to the Japanese makers. Definitely agree with the horsepower to weight ratio. Alot of people don't think that way.

 

[r1R00KIE]

Everyone's stories are always relayed as though they were a perfect take from Biker Boyz or something. So rare that we hear the "I was as nervous as a virgin on prom night and stalled my bike when the light turned green". Everyone is always so amazingly badass

Now I haven't done a lot of racing with vipers, porches, ferraris, lambos, etc on my bike, but I can tell you I got beat at the local dragstrip by a Yugo while I was in my '93 Mustang. One of my friends had it on video for a long time. He ran a 10.4-10.5 of something like that in the 1/4.

WTF??
What'd he have in it??
Damn - now that would suck ass! Crazy #### that people do to go against the grain eh??
Back in the days they used to put Hemis in Dodge Colts. Don't know if you are old enough to remember them, but, they are pretty much a Dodge version of a Civic. LOL! Crazy ####!

[justintime2]

Quit hattin on the Viper and the Viper would kick the Honda's ass. Driven several and they are fast as #### with the ability to break the big ass tires loose quite handily if not skilled.

 

[S7R4NGER]

A friend of mine with a busa, raced and beat a Ferrari. When the Ferrari guy, opened the window, at the next lights, he was pretty shaken. His face was white:" I had never pushed it like this" he told my friend. My friend runs as an amateur in several trophies, and was very impressed with the Ferrari performance, but kept very cool and answered: "It is fast but it's NOT a motorcycle."

While I'm biased towards the two wheeled wonders we love so dearly, the REALLY funny stories are the bikes getting beat by the cages. Let's face it, most people think they don't stand a chance against ANY motorcycle... and the vast majority of sportbikers in general think they own the road and nothing can touch them. So beating a car on a bike is expected. Lots of times they just wanna see ya do a wheelie or rocket off. However, a car beating a bike is like whoa. Especially a big bike.

And at such a small cost. Gotta love the fact that the bike runs 10,000. There ain't a lotta cars out there for that little money that can touch a bike.
No, you are right, I have known some guys who think their cars are untouchable. It's not everyday you run into a car that can beat a bike in the 1/4 or top end either!

I always used to love guys that would pull up next to my primer project car, call it a pile of ####, and then not know what to say when I'd hand them their asses. There are some pretty ignorant people out there.

 

[Matt Sterbator]

The best part isn't really the low cost/speed ratio, it's more about the fun/speed ratio or even the do-it-all nature. I can rail 1000+ miles up in the mountains, make a few small adjustments, take it to the drag strip and run 9s @ 150mph. Then cruise it up to the local bike night, and ride it to work the next day. All the while just adding gasoline.

You're just not going to get that kinda versatility from a cage. You can get rail a cage through the mountains for a week, but it probably won't run that great at the drag strip. There ARE exceptions, but by that time you've spent far more money... and cars just aren't as fun
