Killed a Viper Venom 800

The other day i was on my way to a friends house when this Viper Venom pulls up to me and starts revving (I knew he had something there - he had ET streets on). We roll down the windows... I tell him not here too much traffic. So we drive to a local 1/4 spot. Line up and hit it... he pulls a little a head having better traction then I do... (vipers have BIG rear tires)... but once i started getting traction i pulled up we were going just about neck and neck when he starts pulling due to the turbos really kicking in... (Venom 800s are twin turbo). Well i couldnt have that so i really start trying i pull on him by about 2 cars. Just to finish off the race I hit the 1st stage 100 nitrous shot (dual stage system 100/200)... well i see he way WAY WAY in the back of me when i cross the line.

We slow down and start talking... heh... he is amazed that a car 30yrs old and a lot less money then his could kick his a$$. His is a low 10s car on ET streets. Mine is now low 10s NA on street tires ever since I added the new heads and intake... havent had a chance to take it to the track but i guess low to mid 9s NA on slicks and even quicker with my giggle gas now installed.

The guy was pretty cool... i would guess late 30s. He didnt realize until i told him both of our cars were designed by the same person... Well kinda. I have a 67 Shelby clone (lots of shelby mods) which was designed by Carrol Shelby... as you also might know the viper was designed by Shelby when he was worked for Chrysler.

Hope yall dont mind me posting my kill story here...
