and I must say...I was quite impressed. You're absolute best chance if you really must race him is to do a rolling start from about 10 mph. He probably won't drop the clutch while moving, and you will have turbos wound up and ready to go. That seemed like the Viper's only weekness (not much of a weekness though) for power. Any other speed, I think he'll be waving BYE BYE. Just my 2 cents.
