143MPH Supra loses to my Viper at Speedworld today!
Jesus called me out for a race on Supraforums so I took him up on his offer today. Jesus's car is very quick and very impressive but the Viper was just too much for him, I ran a 10.2 @ 142 to Jesus's 10.5 @ 143
The race between Jesus and I almost didn't come off, when I got there I asked Jesus if he wanted to line up and was told he wanted a test pass, when I pointed out there was no cage and he might get kicked out right away for running deep 10's he informed me that maybe we can run some other time then. So at this point I just waited for Jesus to get in the staging lanes as he was changing his tires etc.. once he started up his car I jumped in front of him, then told the guy working the lanes to run us, I pulled out as instructed by the official but Jesus did not go when the guy told him to line up with me so I backed against the wall and waited for him, at this point he came out and we lined up
I came out of the hole at 2000 RPM, cut a 1.68 60' with zero wheel spin (Next time I'm launching at 3000) and never saw Jesus out my window, I noticed I actually gained a MPH on him during the last 1/8 mile, my car still has more in it.. the nitrous was off as I was going through the traps in 4th gear at 6000 RPM (nitrous shuts down at 5400) so I think my MPH would have been better had I shifted into 5th.
After the race I was a bit disappointed, I walked to Jesus to shake his hand and the 1st words out of his mouth were "you won, but..." then the excuses began, I didn't think this was called for seeing as I just ran a better time than he has ever done in his life driving a Supra. Jesus demanded we race again at which time I declined as I'm not going to be happy if my stock clutch lets go or maybe a stock half shaft breaks, then I miss the Viper Nationals next week in Bradenton. Jesus didn't like this answer so I just walked away, too bad he couldn't have been a better sportsman about it.

Adam,
Is this you? I can't remember your viper handle. Yeah, Jesus races a ton of people and he has many "street king" titles. I'm very suprised it took it to the excuse stage. he's normally pretty direct and will just say, good win, I'll be back. You as a former owner (don't know if you still have your sup) and me as a curring owner of both cars, I can safely say that the viper lightly modded is a fricking monster compared to the supra. Although I love the supra in different ways. Not to rehash that thread again...
Good kill

Thanks guys.. I love this car, I'm... never going back to a Supra LOL
Something that was funny, the announcer must have read or heard about this race on fuelslut.net as he announced our grudge match twice, once in the staging lanes and once when we were about to run LOL
Sweet win Adam. Sounds that you really do hook up great.
