2000 Dodge Viper
Unless you've modded your car like a mad man, I wouldn't attempt to race this one. This could be one of those moments when you quietly reflect on the beauty and pristine sound of a magnificent piece of machinery.
Orrrrrrrr, you could dump the clutch at 3000rpm's and pray you don't miss a shift. Who knows maybe you'll take him!!!!!!!!
