I was originally anticipating making this event. I wish I was there!!
Sounds like it was a blast!
We are doing R&D on some additional APEX exclusive engine goodies, intake, and exhaust for the LETHAL 750 package, so I couldn't be there. Once the R&D is finished, I plan on going to the next event.
With the standard LETHAL 750 kit on, I was fortunate to 'play' with a 360 Modena and a Diablo VT on I-280 a few weeks back. They both had unforgettable expressions, when we started at about 65mph; I dropped it into 3rd and pulled on them so quickly, I wouldn't be surprised if they thought their cars were not running properly. Nothing can take away the 'gawk' factor of the 360's and Diablos though. I love 'em both.

funny part was that there were parts of the cruise were I was sandwiched bewtween other exotics. People always drove by or shouted about the viper. I was between a countach and a 360 and some teenagers yelled "sweet viper"..didnt comment on the F-cars or the lambo.

That's an interesting point Smokin'. I also find that. Something about the Viper that is most appealing AND somehow "reachable"...doesn't violate the "snob exotic" line. (or something like that
).

City, Smokin,
Maybe its because we as Americans are proud that we make something that can hang with the world's best. (Up to about 160, that is!)

Hi,
and for all those wondering... No one got a speeding ticket this day (although one viper got stopped after a bit of enthusiastic driving). I don't think he even got a warning.
It was a wonderful day, and i must say that some of the back road twisties where some of the best i have ever driven.
Thanks to all the viper drivers and navigators for phenomenal viper turnout!

Ok, Ok, Ok....I was the CHOSEN one who got pulled over by a C.H.P doing triple digit speeds. However, having close friends in highly respectable positions we were let off with just a warning. "Just my lucky day" P.S should have bought a LOTTO ticket that day too (J.K)

Glad you made it out unscathed. Did you have a radar detector?

Lamborghini's are great. I visited the Lambo plant in Italy last year and had a great time.
