At 30, I'm too young for kids :).

The video just shows the difference in a prepped track and a non prepped track. I've been 9's at rockingham on their mopar day when the track was total garbage due to 4 days of solid rain. Even then I could run on the lowest setting and still hit 9's. Short shifting and just easing down the track. On passtime, there was zero prep, they cut my run in half (that's why they switch angles) cause my driver tire got even with my right shoulder. I was another inch or two from pulling the chute. I let totally out of the gas, let the car settle, get straight and slowly got back into it. When a car that went 9.10 at 169 (the black lambo) goes 11.40's spinning ALL the way down the track with AWD, I knew I was screwed. They also edited the interivew with the panel when I stated given the track conditions I'd be lucky to get down the track. I had the car setup that day to run 9.20's or so, around 15-16lbs of boost. When I went up for the run, I turned it all the way down and still couldn't hook.

You're right, I don't own a viper, I just own the fastest one on street tires:

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AD2Uzq45R2k[/media]I still have the truck too. I also have another TT viper on the way.
Isn't that the 1/8th mile track that you [allegedly] own?
5.86 in the 1/8th is NOT the fastest Viper on street tires. Sorry.
I remember a Gen. 2 throwing down sub-9 second times on street meats.

Fastest run through the 1/8th on street tires, I was about .7 faster.

Dandy.
I only remember ownership being in question when you were booted from the truck forum. Never heard anything after that.

So, you have 1.5 Vipers (and a Viper truck) but you're not a VCA member yet?
Tsk...tsk...

Since your original allegations didn't pan out (a faster car on invo's and me not owning the track, which I sold in dec btw), you're now left with VCA comments? I've paid for two ads in the classifieds. I'm sure at some point I'll join. If a meet is ever setup that fits my schedule, I'll join. So far, that hasn't happened.

Oh Mike, PLEASE don't start.
I have enough to sink your ship.
Just leave it alone.

I'm not "left" with VCA membership comments.
I'm actually jealous that you can become a member.
And disappointed you haven't yet.

Who saw the episode these guys are talking about? What other cars were in it? Clearly someone here must have seen the episode that I saw, right?
