Default My GF beats a Viper at the drag strip in my Corvette.

I do the Street Car Takeover events around the country. Chase (the owner of the Viper) is my business partner on the events. When you're around the same people for long amounts of time you tend to get these crazy idea's. One of them was Chase telling Erin (my gf) that she couldnt beat his Viper in a race. Erin has never driven my car at all until this race. Id say she did pretty good and Chase had to pay up! Watch the video.

Very cool video! I love your car. Best looking C7 I've seen, especially with the new wheels.

Cool! I was thinking what? C7 took the Viper? Ah-ha, ProCharger makes a difference for sure.

Saw this video earlier today, was pondering whether it's allowed to upload racing videos, unless the rules changed. I love the look of the C7 while it was rolling towards the camera. Very menacing! Your girl can drive man.

Only street racing is against the rules. Racing on a track (and with proper equipment) is perfectly fine.

Not to rain on anyone's parade but I hope this isn't the same guy that kept posting videos and threads like "I just bought my gf a stingray blah blah blah!" He was banned since he was trying to advertise his website or get his YouTube videos up.

Rule against street racing/kill stories was eliminated months ago.

The gf may never had driven the car before, but there is no way she hasn't raced before. She looked like she new what she was doing.

The females in general do have better fine motor skills so they can sandbag us if they really want to and focus.

She has a stock Scion FRS. Before I knew her 3 years ago she had never even thought about racing anything. I think she did pretty well for hopping in a 600hp rwd car with a manual.

Story time:
I was at the gas station this morning, and a guy who worked there came up to me to talk about the car. He said he'd been wondering when one would stop to fill up. We talked about the car for a few minutes, then he began to tell me about a video he saw on youtube of a girl driving a supercharged C7 and beating a Viper, and the guy making her a sandwich.

Be sure to post up vids when the beast is done. Is your friend in the viper serious about getting a lambo? Why didn't he spray and go for a second run? Do you think she would of still won?

I have an srt viper, stock. Your girlfriend would beat me in a dragrace too. I have absolutely no racing skills. I just drive it as often as possible including to work (use SUV in stormy weather) and enjoy it at the speed limit. Good competition though and very nice C7. I concede your girlfriend is a better driver than I. Enjoyed video too.
