Woodward Ave. Viper GTS ACR
The Woodward cruise is this Saturday. The cruising is pretty heavy througout the week prior. I went out for there tonight with the wife and took no time at all finding a Viper. His plate read GTS ACR, and it had at least exhaust on it. Truthfully it sounded worse than a stock one. Like a big Honda. Any way he dropped a gear so we started to slow down. I am in 1st gear just creeping about 10 mph. We both hit the gas and I smoke the sh!t out of my tires through 2nd. He pulls 2 cars before I hook and stay a couple lengths behind him.
We line up for round 2 in the meat of my second gear and take off evenly. I run through 2nd gear dead nuts, and shift into 3rd, where we stayed even all the way to the top of 3rd. At the next light I said "That thing is not stock!" in a complimentary way, and he kinda gets defensive and responds with "We'll your car sure isin't stock either!" I just kinda grin and laugh it off. Then I noticed the police presence around. Just sitting at the light I must have seen 4 cop cars around. I cannot believe we did not get pinched. at 11 pm there were more cops out there than cruisers. Crazy. I guess I got lucky on that one. ------------------ 1988 Mustang GT 11.8 @ 123 (7/14/01) 1992 BadAzz Wrangler 1993 Explorer |

Exgmguy,
The welds and the big hood might be part of it, BUT I'd be willing to bet that plate of yours has something to do with it http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/smile.gif ------------------ 351w, tremec trans Best N/A Pass 11.44@120 Best Nitrous Pass 10.62@132 |

If I had some video capture software, and a passenger who knew how to hold the camera steady I would do it in a second.
I know, Somebody donate a capture card to me and i'll post 'em all!!!! FastGTragtop and I both ran this lightly modded 6-speed SS LS1 on the way home from Woodward today. I hit it in 3rd and let off before 4th with a couple cars already between us. FastGT also walked him pretty good. With the top down I might add. http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/smile.gif |
