Truth hurts? You can mod civics to beat vipers too. Still a civic.

Lex, looks like your working on trying to add some more red to your guage? Cali Kid, very cool! Awesome story. Very similar to what I experienced back in 2000 when I "played" with a Viper back then coming back from the Stratham NH show in Oct. with my maroon '87 coupe "Fiero5". I knew he could easily hand me my butt anytime he wanted but that obviously wasn't the way it went. I joked about beating a viper with lots of smilies in my thread and of course even now we have a few brilliant members who still try and make it into a whole different story than what it ever was, so be carefull if later on someone comes along and tries to make this story different than what it is. Like you experienced. we also had a sort of mutual respect and just had fun as we both drove down the highway as two cool cars. It's realy nice when another sports car owner, an expensive one in these cases is able to be a true car lover and appreciate our ride as much as we appreciate theirs. No need for a silly race which in these cases would prove nothing anyway. It's more about appreciating another nice car and not just some macho chest thumping who can beat the other on a stretch of road. Anyway, thanks for sharing. Steve ------------------

If the Viper Venom is the car I'm thinking of, IIRC Motor Trend said something like this: "This is the scariest car we've ever tested." Apparently they were able to get rubber in 3rd at 120 MPH in that car. I don't think there's a street-legal Fiero on the planet that could beat that car without JATO units. Ed

Wow...you drove beside a viper , he hit the gas ,you hit the gas... Funny... how come you didn't want to race chris Moore's Viper?? Oh yeah your ovaries hurt to much . HEre comes the BS stories about racing Vipers to 300mph and how your stock 88 suspension fiero with cut springs and Koni's will outhandle any porsche and blah blah blah blah..Oh yeah your lingenfelter valve covers must add 5hp.. You make a comment about your car beating someone elses in a race or a show..you bought someone elses car and painted it Yellow..you mechanical pioneer you.. you ran a 12.2 with no slips to prove , but your the first to chime in about how mighty your car is and how it can beat everything ont he road. a Stock Viper would smack you down and a Hennessey Viper would abosolutley destroy you. Oh but wait Carol Sheby signed your dash.. He signed my nuts too along with Fiero5 Wanna See? JM

Great story Cali! Very nice to get some respect from a Viper owner. Ignore the trolls. If no one argues with them, they will go away. ------------------ www.cardomain.com/id/wingnutmd --- "Peg" --- 1985 GT - THE FORGOTTON GT! Member of PFF, not associated with any Brigade or Syndicate.

Great story and glad to see he respected your accomplishments also. I hope to have the power your car has and I seen it at Norwalk but you were not around it at the time. You had it on the side of the road close to our 40 cars I think on Sunday when I seen it. Opened up for folks to see which I thoguht was nice of you. Remember the internet makes folks think being behind the computer makes them better and smarter. The get jealous fast and attack. Here's a few good photos from them. The Shinola I did personally after I found the can so its a original hahahahaah. Rick B
