My friend drove a 2003 Dodge Viper!!

My friend recently went to his brother's wedding which took place in Michigan and they decided to rent a viper. They ended up with a carnary yellow 2003 Dodge Viper RT/10 Convertible. He said it had 510Hp baby. They took it to a 2 mile strip and ripped it up. He said they did burnouts, donuts, 180's, and everything. He said it was the sweetest thing. He told me they only went up to 200km/hour because it was frickin scary enough at that speed. He is one lucky mofo..it cost his brother
$400 US/day...they had it for 3 days!!

My mom's weirdo boyfriend did that once. He dresses like he should be in The Matrix or something. He went out to Las Vegas and instead of going to the casinos he rented a Viper for the several days that he was there. But he didn't tear it up or anything because he's all old. He just "drove it around".

Ummm...I beg to differ. I topped out at 190 but that's because of my ECU. Biker went up to 210 and wants more.
Dude...you ONLY went up to 200...that's nothing.

Other than that...sweet!

Yup i've taken my car up to 210km/h or 135ishmph (where i hit the limiter) its really not that fast, my car is smooth as silk at those speeds. I can drive with no hands on the wheel and the car will drive straight aslong as the roads are good. And my car has more to spare just its limited.

Next time your buddy rents a viper tell him to push it to the limiter dude, i'm guessing its somewhere aroudn 250ish (km/h) none the less it must have been dam fun. I've been told thats one of the few production cars and really has TO MUCH POWER
