Does it really matter, since you ain't buying one?

 

[Adul]

Cool, a convertable

 

[gittyup]

I can afford this one!

Viper

Convertibles ROCK ... hehe .. and being that im engaged to a Dodge man ... probably all our future cars will be Dodge ... Ford girl myself .. but E_mc_2 hates Fords ..

i never really liked the viper anyway. nothing amazing about 8L v-10 producing a lot of hp and torque.

<< nothing amazing about 8L v-10 producing a lot of hp and torque. >>


WTF???!!! HP and torque is HP and torque. It runs circles around the Vette. If that's the case, you could rag on the Vette b/c it produces 350 HP from 5.7 liters while the BMW M3 produces 333 HP from 3.2 liters.

Petty, petty, petty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

True, or an F1 car producing what they crank out of < 2L.

Amazing is the fact that the viper will kick your ass around town without even breaking a sweat!

I think it was the Viper i heard you can drive in 3rd gear all the time, ample torque for starting from a stop and the rpm at highway speeds are only like around 3k or something.

 

[maximus]

the corvette is much better because the viper is much more difficult to control at high speeds. the in car navigations are pretty poor is you ask me

 

[StageLeft]

You wouldn't honestly rather have a vette though would you?

 

[GaryTcs]

All Shelby designed cars are a little rough around the edges, but make up for it in hp/torque. The new Corvette is much more civil at high speeds, but who really has a chance to go >150mph to compare them? Both give near supercar performance at a relative pittance of around $60,000.

 

[loup garou]

Viper's a bit more than 60K, but I agree with you on your other points, Gary.

So, where do I pick mine up?

 

[Optimus]

Dang! Now I gotta trade in this year's model... and I just bought it! :|

 

[Linh]

thats why the m3 has always been my dream car, especially the 2001 model. american muscle cars just don't do it for me.

 

[SuperGroove]

<---Would much rather have a Corvette ZR-1 than Dodge Viper GTS. That's not say I wouldn't be ungrateful if I won a Dodger Viper GTS. Of course...if given the chance to own a BMW M3 Convertible...hmmm

Most bang for the buck? Corvette, hands down.

 

[StageLeft]

If we're talking bang for buck a camaro is a loooot cheaper than a corvette.

 

[Valhalla1]

most bang for the buck? fbodies. (Camaros/Firebirds/Trans Ams) same LS1 engine as 'vettes ('cept for the Z06 w/ LS6), and MUCH less expensive. for the price difference between the vette and a new fbody, you could put enough mods on a trans am to have you running in the 9's.

 

[LAUST]

Don't forget Stangs they got thier own section at most performance places just for the 5.0/4.6.. Totally agreed though Bang for the buck and Mods is the best way.

Buying out of the box speed is okay I guess... but only if your old or don't know anything about cars
