mentioning Vipers...
Hey Excalibur,
two of my close friends run lowered and modified Vipers, (ex-Kart drivers) and we go on drives ribbing each other back and forth. I mostly rib them about not be able to hear anything from their engine but that wooshing sound. HA HA. They rib me about still running 15" wheels and tires and not being able to keep right up with them in the fast twisty mountain roads for very long. They are heavy but very impressive with those super wide tires holding the line in turns. I rag them through posts on ClubCobra that I know they read, and they get me back too. Its all in good fun though. I keep telling them to be ready to watch out for a JBL or those sub 2000lb Cobras with Viper sized tires on them! I think one day they will see what a Cobra is all about in the twisty mountains. I may have to buy a set of 17s just to show them...
Sometimes I tend to think that a BMW Z8 with a V8 and shorter wheelbase is actually closer and more representative to a modern day Cobra than a Viper. Vipers are pretty large cars and suprisingly nimble for the size.
