there are just as many fast small blocks as there are slow big blocks

Hey, have you guys ever had the opportunity to race along side a FAST, modified Viper? I have. There are a few 700-850HP versions on the street near me. A few supercharged/nitrous ones at that. With those big/wide sticky tires they run, they can suprise even the best of the 512ci Cobras in the straights, and the small block FIA/351 Cobras on those twisty mountain roads. I compared some of the track times at Willow Springs between the Cobras and the Vipers, and it might suprise a few. I still wouldn't own one though... I like my manual steering, manual brakes, and no stereo options.
