It wasn't really a race at all actually. Heading up 2222 (windy mountain road where my friend ate it a month ago) I saw a red with white racing stripes Viper GTS... iicense plate is "FASSST"
I casually caught up to him as he kept taunting me with ever increasing speed. But I finally got up next to him just before we hit the good curves. I realized "hey, I know this guy." But I digress.
Anywho, I decided not to be right next to him through the curves so I back off about 20 yards as we hit the first hard left (I've taken it at 75 before). He definitely was taking the curve fast for a car and I was moving quicky but could take the turn at over 80.
As soon as the curve was finishing we both gassed it but I was 4th gear instead of 3rd. But it didn't matter because he accelerated from ~70 to ~110 in a heartbeat and I had absolutely no chance. He had to slow for the tightest curve as I caught up to him through it and I passed him giving the thumb of "yes you're a freaking rich ding dong."
He deals in Exotic and Foreign Cars and I think that's his 8th Viper. Heavily modified to have sub-11second 1/4 mile capability on street tires.
I won't go into any more detail about this man's line of super street cars: 10 second streetable Supras, and corvettes... ***!
