I RODE IN AND DROVE THE WORLD\'S MOST POWERFUL SUPERCHARGED VIPER LAST NIGHT
I am in Chitown so what better thing to do then hang out with PC and his 96 blue/white GTS with nearly 900 rear wheel Heffnerized horsepower. Talked to him on the phone and he wanted to know if I wanted to go put a few "casual" miles on the car. Nothing serious, just get out of the house type thing. So sure, sounds like a blast I said.
We meet up and decide to hit the highway first off. Get in the car and it only took about a minute to get on the interstate and to the toll booth. Here the lady in the booth about falls out. She has no idea what she is experiencing and why her boobs are shaking the way they are. This car sounds awesome, especially when the exhaust rumbles off the surrounding concrete walls or when it is blasting thru the tunnels.....oh yeah baby.
So we pay the chick and Paolo gives a quick glance ahead and propells the car thru 1st in a milisecond. We then hit second and he squeezes enough power to get her attention, but still keep her planted. 3rd goes by just as quick as the first 2 gears and as we hit 4th I realize he forgot that we were just out for a "casual" spin. He know can crack the whip on her all the way and I was permantly fixated to the seat at this point.
4th gear in this car is like 1st gear in a stock Viper! We were thru 4th in less than 4 seconds and into 5th, balls to the wall. After about 6 or 7 seconds I look over and the speedo is BURIED.....That is a big 2 0 0. and it only took about 25 seconds to get there.
So I am in the car less than 2 minutes and we have already been to 200mph and back. MAN THESE VIPERS ARE FAST! I have now done what I only dreamt about. I just wish it would have taken longer to get there so I would have had time to enjoy it more. lol.
We then proceed to assault some back roads that contained some hellacious turns, straights and varying elevations. This car is not just a straight line car, it has impressive handling and corners flat like it is on rails.
After a hundred or so miles we are back on the highway. Behind us many rooads have been rippled from the ungodly power laid down on them. We stop for a bit, put some 93 octane in her and he asks if I want to drive. Hmmmmmm........let me think for a second. You gonna ask me if I wanna drive a 900 rwhp Viper. Ok if you're gonna twist my arm I guess I will, just this once.
Man this should be illegal. Well come to think of it, I guess it is. By the time I looked down I had clicked off 140. The thing that is MOST IMPRESSIVE is how manageable and useful all of that power is. This car with the cage, suspension setup, powerplant and Viper styling really is the ULTIMATE STREET CAR!
The car hooks and hooks ******* the street and when it does you better hope your jewels are strapped in. At 110 mph it turns flat and is as stable as a stock Viper is at 50mph.
This car and Paolo defines controlled chaos on 4 wheels. By this time it is getting late and we decide to call it a night. It has been many hours, but I am still smiling or maybe I just can't pull my face back forward.
Thanks Paolo for the "casual" ride. You have one badazz car and the power the car makes is simply unbelieveable. What a ride.
