Vintage in-car footage when I was racing my '93 Viper during a track day on the Sebring International Raceway long course. This was in August of 1995. The 288 GTO and the F40 were both owned by a friend's father-in-law who had a collection that he drove whenever he had the chance. The footage doesn't really express how fast we were actually going: about 140+ mph on the long sections. I could pull close to them coming out of the turns with the V10's torque but they would pull slightly ahead on the long straights. I finally was able to get by them both when I held out late in two successive corners and then took an earlier line to straighten out the exit point. Then a polite wave to the F40 for "letting me" pass. I still have this car. It was the original 1993 Mopar Muscle Magazine Project Pit Viper featured in two years of issues of the magazine. I was the tech editor at the time. BTW, Sorry for the horrible video. That was the 1990s and Sebring was renowned for it's rough WWII airstrip concrete pavement.
