Why my life sucks

I like to troll around at www.viperclub.org every so often because I think I'll be rich someday and get a viper. Little do I know, by the time I ever HAVE any money, all the cars will be hydrogen powered or something. Anyways, he's a supercharger Viper. He has the works done to it, including NOS.

The video is an in-car cam of this 996rwhp viper when he gets it back from the shop. 60-110 in about 3 seconds with broken traction.

http://www.treynor.com/DLM-Ride.wmv [edit] it's about 11 meg[/edit]

I got it from this thread:

Yeah, the sound of that engine would definately make my knees buckle. He will probably need to install good traction control unit on the car, because if he looses traction accelerating with out NOS, then I do now what will happen then.

The amazing thing is that in that 60-110 run, he didn't change gears at all, he left it in 3rd the whole time. I wonder if he has a daughter that needs married???? I can already think of a nice wedding present for me!

unless he's DEAD SURE of himself in that car and i doubt he is if he just took it out for the first time with the new power..... i'd take it to a track before doing dumb **** like that....835hp is nothing to **** around with in traffic.

wether the Audi was 10 or 20 cars back, i'd still prefer it over the Viper...but it did sound nice.

Well it wasn't the first time, but you can hear how he just got it back from the video. Audis are nice, but not to go fast. Their trannys are as weak as ours I'd much rather have the viper, even a stock one!

Viper=cant handle worth ****=me hate this type of car

3rd gen rx7=easly modified to be 3second 0-60, and one of the best handling cars in the world= Me like very much

BTW, there are many many rx7s that are around 3 second 0-60.... easy mods, mostly upgrading the turbos.
