Driver's fault in the Viper. Car is clearly much faster than that.

Ralph will be demanding to re-run (but no vettes on the re-run, just the snake).

To be fair, the aero characteristics of the Viper in the last race were severely compromised by that open door.

Well based on a recent test of the Viper, probably should consider it a win the doors even stayed on.

Super well done and what cute kids! So many fun days ahead for them to battle it out, I bet in the next video the kids will have shaved some weight off the cars and done some mods! It appears that the Vette has larger tires, hmmm does Ralph know this?

The Viper engine is a work of art; worthy to be placed under glass - displayed in an Art exhibit.

Damn, though; that the body -to this day- still looks like it is a kit car.

If I weren't previously interested in buying or at least trading up to a C7, this video surely made up my mind!!!

That was AWESOME!!! What a great way to have fun with the little ones. One of the best. Thanks for the smile.

Great job Dad!
