I can attest to the fact that Tim's old car could hang with a viper, I drove it at Spokane Raceway on track day and was right on the heels of a GenIII Viper for several laps, we were not allowed to pass but I think I could have given him a run in some sections of the track. Viper coupe was stock with track tires and an amateur, but pretty good driver, Valiant had those same wheels as Andy's pic with street legal (but mostly slick) rubber.
