it had a regular dude who bought a ford gt, and a reg dude who bought a viper. both 05's. the show was on a&e it was called american muscle ? )i think) anyhow they put both guys on the track 1/4 mile. one guy in the viper had never even been to the track. the ford gt owner had run twice in his liftime (he was in his 50's) best of 3. first race they both spun like a mother, and the ford won 12.4 to the viper 14.6. the second race the ford guy missed 2nd ford 12.9 viper 12.6 the 3rd race ford 12.5 viper 12.9....it was pretty cool to see 2 normal everyday guys run those cars....not some guy from car and driver.....

YES. They both sucked big time driving. Dont know what the density altitude was, but a low 14 for the Viper????
Thought it was on the Travel Channel?

Yeh I saw the show too. I nearly died laughing when the guy in the viper ran a 14 something. Oh man, that was some funny ****. They both were terrible at launching. The guy in the GT completely LIT UP his tires on his first launch and still managed to run a 12. Ahhh....rich people The guy with the viper was probably a doctor or something, he was all tuning his car with a computer tuner before the race but it doesn't make up for having a decent driver. They said the GT guy owned two Ford dealerships but he didn't seem like he knew too much about cars, just selling them I guess. Would have been interesting to see who would win with professional drivers.

I feel sorry for the clutches .

Was it a one-off special or is it a regular show? Sounds pretty interesting.
