I would talk, but right now I'm suffering from an epileptic seizure I got from the damn flashing banner ads :(

Even for a 2 year old article, I could name a few cars that didn't make that list.

What a POS article! Ain't worth reading if Ferrari nor BMW played along. I know that the BMW M5 will smoke a Jag XJR, and the BMW M3 is faster than the M5 to 60 by like .2 seconds. I'm sure the Ferrari 360 Modena is faster than the 355, Lotus Espirit, and Acura NSX. Where is Porsche for crying out loud? I have no doubt that the Porsche Turbo or GT2 would smoke all of them!

It's already not worth reading since the Viper's in there ;) With such an advantage, there should be no need to check it out - and you should be glad those other cars you mentioned aren't in there - or they would have been shamed by the almighty Viper as well :)

Just wait till 2003 when the Viper gets more horsepower and torque. 505hp and 500 ft/lbs!! (or is it the other way around? whatever, it still kicks ass) Talk about American muscle!

&quot;Muscle&quot; is an understatement - it'd be closer described as &quot;Superpowers&quot; or something equivilent ;)

Yep, it's an old article. Still informational I think.

BMW and Ferrari we're both invited to participate, both declined. The only reason the 355 is in the article is because PM rented it.

haha - pussies :D
 

Wow, good read.

BMW and ferrari are weak if they can't hand over a car to test with.
They could p!ss out the money for one car.

The american magazine Popular Magazine tests these cars based on american standards, and their american cars won...Like they said in the article, it was based on acceleration, and not top speed etc...

Yea, it would have been great to see more cars....

I love how the Viper &quot;rumbles&quot;....The other day I was beside one, and when the Viper idles, it sounds like its gonna rip the ground apart :)

The 2003 Viper is gonna be sweet, but it looks like sh!t!

sandigga: of course the Hennessey Viper is awesome, but we're talking about bone stock factory cars here. 450HP from the factory is nice, real nice. 500hp and 500ft/lb torque will be even nicer.

I've heard great things about that car, but why don't they sell it here in the US? I've heard rumors about exhaust emission issues and crash worthiness, but I don't want to believe rumors. Does anyone know the real answer?
