It is painfully obvious that the Viper for one reason or another let up. All of the other times they stayed the same distance from each other down the straights. Did all of a sudden the Mustang gain 100HP because it got warmed up or something? Hell no. I love Mustangs. I own one right now. However, the Viper is NOT a POS and you all know it. It has great handling and power or you would not see them on the race circuit like you do. And what's with Speedy Gonzalas doing the play by play?

@SchwartzeBaron I don't know where he got Toyota man from the signs I guess. I don't give a shit about Toyotas.

Ok, First of all, I "only"ran a 1.43 because this was an open track event not a race, no passing was allowed on the turns, and there was lots of slow traffic in front of me (including the Viper). Secondly, before the pass I left turn 9 HOT and the Viper knew it. If you watch you can see me gaining on him the whole time. Yes he backed off after he realized that I was going to pass him anyway and he didnt want to go into turn 1 too hot. I think later that day the Viper wiped out in turn 3.

Nice car you got, man, nice driving... but that dude in the Viper must've been new to racing. I concur that your Stang (and I love Stangs/AC Cobras/GT40s) shouldn't have been able to beat out a Viper without been super-souped up... which brings up the question of what the hell do you have in that thing?!!
