Default Ok. Who was it? Viper vs 951

Yesterday, I witnessed one of the biggest acts of irresponsibility on a public hwy. I was driving my wife’s clk 320 on the 57 fwy South bound, nearby Diamond Bar, Ca. When I spotted on my rearview mirror a dark gray 944 Turbo coming really fast. It passed me doing at least 150mph if not more and the exhaust was incredible loud, three to four car lengths cars behind him was a blue Viper GTS that was trying to catch up. They disappeared out of my sight within seconds, while on sight the Viper never passed the 951. I understand why the owner don’t want to post the incident because of the flames for acting so irresponsible on public hwys. If the owner is a rennlister and has the guts let it come forward and reveal himself. The 951 was metallic dark gray or silver obviously not a stock color, also it had chrome wheels.

Cheers

Fern

Could have been polish but they surely shine a lot. Btw I was just reading about the Viper GTS power 450hp and 500+tq, how much power would you need to keep up with a monster like that?

Mine was an aerodynamic brick. I hated that car. Felt like a pig, lot's of HP and torque but felt like a kit car. At 140 it rattled creaked and generally sucked.

Sounds like me, but I wasn't racing a Viper, nor winning. I was trying to keep up with an Enzo. Irresponsible, maybe, but not more so than the Enzo.

Don't ask me about any stories involving a friend and a bridge...

I sprinted away from a Cayman S a couple of weeks ago running East on I 40 south of Raleigh.

He had his smokin hot GF in the passenger seat and was all over me through heavy traffic. At first I just wanted to get away from the guy. When we hit a stretch of open freeway he gunned it trying to get by me. I was in 4th at about 85 running around 4200prms or there abouts 9well into the power curve and I just could not resist...

sorry...

When I finally let off and slowed from around 150 he was a speck in the rear view mirror. Ahh to hear the conversation in that car... She probably did not want ot loose her hat she was trying to hold on to. Was I beggin for trip to jail?

"prolly"

But it was fun to wave at them when they turned off to go south on the 95.
