Thats why I took the driving schools to learn how to drive the car. Eve with the school I could launch much harder in my Jeep than the Viper... traction and gearing made the difference.

Most people (especially kids.... and by some of the childish comments in here I can see some of you are) buy a car that is too much for them to handle. They think they know everything because they read car magazines. Well I run into poor drivers all the time and usually beat them because they cant drive what they have. Just because a magazine gets a time and trap speed on a car doesnt mean its going to run it everytime. Those are professional drivers and get numerous runs on the car to get those times. Real world driving is a different story. There are exceptions... I chatted with a guy who was getting high 10 second runs in a Gen III Viper. I didnt beleive it because the best times I had seen where in the upper 11's. Well he actually was getting it consistently because he was an exceptional driver adn is widely known throughout the Viper and Corvette community (he owns Vettes also).

My point is just because you have the car doesnt mean you can get the performance out of it. Obviously this Mustang owner didnt because I did pull on him... not saying I m a better driver or have a faster ride but I did. Wether you choose to believe it I really could not care. I do think its funny though that you guys are ragging on Chrysler though all while your in here defending Ford... both American made and you all drive Nissans. LMAO! Kids these days...
