Stinger v Viper

[seeyainakia]

Smoked a gen1 Dodge Viper on the highway yesterday morning. Rolling, from about 35 on onramp to about 110. What a blast.

No. The Viper pilot has seen those videos of Viper vs the world, where the Viper driver loses control and skids into a wall or something else off the side of the road. There is no way that even a modded Stinger will out accelerate a Viper if the other driver is trying and knows how to lay down the power.

I can’t tell if you are trolling or butt-hurt

Yeah, that thing had 400hp when they made it 30 years ago, even then they were widow-makers. A specimen doesn't survive that long without some caution with the throttle.
RWD front engine V10 with no ABS, no TCS or ESC. You kicked an old man down and ran off celebrating victory!

Trolling is beneath me, and I might be a bit butt hurt. But @ElChanclo is probably right. Not many Viper drivers are going to risk it. That car is a handful even at 400 HP. Later it got ridiculous, thus producing those videos of botched launches at traffic lights.
