new december car and driver -viper ownage-
 

well yup, came home to the newest issue today. just as the cover said "shock and awe" with a picture of the srt10 viper rolling next to the new z06. hmm this should be interesting. open to the page to see the viper falling 2nd to the vette. i like this:

vette 1/4
11.8@125

viper 1.4
12.1@120


i know its not all about a straight line to most of you, but for me it is. and the vette even owned it in the twisties and skidpad. did I mention 20k cheaper than the viper fully loaded? i guess what im trying to say is the viper just got it's live shattered into 5000 pieces. long live the vette

Re: new december car and driver -viper ownage-
 

long live the honda civic

Re: new december car and driver -viper ownage-
 

Viper is overpriced.Vette is finally risen to the supreme American sports car again.I still laugh when I see a original Viper rolling around, those things were like some cheap plastic kit car.

Re: new december car and driver -viper ownage-
 

vipers suck anyway, ugly ass clown shoe, if you spend that much money on a car why would you buy american, ---- i'd get a euro car.

Re: new december car and driver -viper ownage-
 

i like vipers, cant argue with 500cubes man. its really easy to get street vipers in the 9s cause they love the dope.

i like both vettes and vipers >:D

the first vipers are like old school bling retro cool. i still rememebr married with children when al was gunna get a viper cause his dodge rolled over a million miles, but they had to tape it rolling over for a commerical. and he fell asleep in his car hit the shifter into neutral and rolled it over backing down the driveway haha!

love that show

Re: new december car and driver -viper ownage-
 

Thats hella funny

but foreal long live the civic and honda/acura in general

Re: new december car and driver -viper ownage-
 

haha, I love Married with Children....great show

my stupid girl opinion about the cars though: vipers > vettes :-*

Re: new december car and driver -viper ownage-
 

ROFL!!! :D

anyone remember the tv show Viper on NBC when Dodge first came out with the car? it was cheesy, but I watched it every week. :1 The Viper will always be one of my favorite cars as well.

Re: new december car and driver -viper ownage-
 

I got the magazine but still have not read the article.
I'm with scottsi, I mean I like both cars, but If I'm going to spend the cash on a Viper SRT-10 I would probably rather have a Euro exotic, better materials and looks.

I think the vette is PIMP for the price, even if it is still covered in cheap plastics inside, but hey at least it keeps the costs down.

Re: new december car and driver -viper ownage-
 

The price on the Vette is good considering what you get.

Re: new december car and driver -viper ownage-
 

Yeah euro exotics are nice and i would love one but the c6 zo6 just smashed them on their own course (Nurburgring) and broke records for production cars on the track. The c6r in racing is almost pretty much undefeated and the new vette is completely inspired by it. But dodge is hinting at a new viper just to beat the new vette. Should be interesting.

Re: new december car and driver -viper ownage-
 

The CF viper? that thing looks sweet.

Re: new december car and driver -viper ownage-
 

Not sure, all i know is that they are talking about 600-700 HP. :o

Re: new december car and driver -viper ownage-
 

But if the 500hp Viper is what $90-100k what is a 700hp viper going to cost, specially if it is the CF one, $150k. For half, ---- less than half, that you can get a corvette. Now if you are just a little prick that wants one for the name or rarity, then you will go for the viper.

Either way I will never be able to afford either, brand new :P :P

Re: new december car and driver -viper ownage-
 

The 1200Hp out of the box Hennsey Viper is only $125,000

Re: new december car and driver -viper ownage-
 

the lingenfelter TT427 vette is about 100k including the car i think. its not quite 1200hp but i saw one run 8s

Re: new december car and driver -viper ownage-
 

i have seen a mousler vette race on a roadcourse, hella cool car. still have never seen a heynessee tho. though, when ford svt came out to the track earlier this summer, the gt40 had better lap times then the mousler, hell, it had better lap times then most professional WERA (western eastern racing association) {bikes}

Re: new december car and driver -viper ownage-
 

Awesome cars, but I know I'll never have one :3 :3

I got to think of some scam or a nice lawsuit, I can live without an eye :X :4

Re: new december car and driver -viper ownage-
 

the twin turbo srt10 viper motor truck in the back of that mag is ------ insane.

Re: new december car and driver -viper ownage-
 

yeah i saw a video of a lingenfelter TT427 do a run and it looked as if it'd be slamming your eyes to the back of your head :S

Re: new december car and driver -viper ownage-
 

Ever see the s10 they built? AWD denali drivetrain, c5r vette motor with t/t it went low 10's till the trans barfed...looked totally stock....

Re: new december car and driver -viper ownage-
 

I still think a lingenfelter would be sick, heres a vid that most everyone has seen http://www.importevolution.com/video...369722ce74e268

Re: new december car and driver -viper ownage-
 

yo any cars out of the factory doing 11's and 12's is fukin sweat but for the money the viper lets me down

Re: new december car and driver -viper ownage-
 

vette owns me. vipers are nice but the vettes i've always loved and now the c6? omg its a dream car come true. that car is done right, chevy finally did something right and they made the vette right.

Re: new december car and driver -viper ownage-

Re: new december car and driver -viper ownage-
