4 blocks? I could get a Viper off the ground in less than one...
I work in the car business and had the opportunity to ride shotgun in an new 04 Viper that had just been tweaked a bit at a dealerhsip I was visiting. It was the first time in a Viper and I was most impressed. Speedo indicated 120+ and I do not believe we had yet hit the 1/4 mile. On top of that the road was not exactly straight.
The driver had some history as a amatuer race driver and was definitely in control, but the Viper is a whole lot more beast than mere humans can handle. 30 years ago I may have enjoyed it more, but at 50 with wife and two kids it scared the hell out of me.
