Which car would you rather have?

[IBdaMac]

Here are the links for the specs on each car...however, if you go to lingenfelter's site it will show a dyno for that vette showing 1038hp to the rear wheels. But based on these specs, which one would you take?

Viper Venom 1000

or

Lingenfelter Twin Turbo Corvette



Obviously I would go with the viper just so I can sell it, buy that vette and save 80k. But if I had to choose one to drive it would definitely be the Vette. The viper looks cooler but I like the fact that the vette looks stock almost. That lamborghini that pulls up next to you wouldn't even know that you could smoke him

No Question about it.

 

[Ktulu]

Lingenfelter Corvette easy

 

[ironcrotch]

Hennessey Viper... 1000hp :Q

You gotta love the 345mm wide tires.

And I pick the Corvette because of handling. The Viper is routinely spun without even upping the stock power.

Haha, I know... only problem is, they cost a billion dollars a piece...and if I had that car, I'd be replacing them daily

 

[DainBramaged]

I'd go for the Viper.

One thing I noticed was that while the front end was awesome looking, the rear end of that car still looks like a dodge. Kinda disappointing that they haven't come up with something better by now.

Reminds me of the GM auto show in motion. With the Z06, they were replacing them multiple times a day.

BTW, I slightly lost control and ran over their timing equipment with the Z06. It was ok though...

doesn't the viper meltdown at like 200mph? it just blows up and starts undressing itself.

Yeah, they look straight off of a dodge stratus or some other lame dodge.

 

[IBdaMac]

yeah, with a car like that you want a special looking rear end....because that's all anyone will see

 

[Random Variable]

I'd prefer a "plain" C6 Z06.

 

[randomlinh]

I'd like the viper.. but I've heard Hennessey is an ass about getting your car done. but

 

[Accipiter22]

holy crap i'd take the viper!!! who cares if it spins?? In that picture it looks like the friggin batmobile!!

 

[n7]

I've always liked Corvettes, so that'd be my choice...

 

[nakedfrog]

Lingenfelter... because the name sounds almost dirty.

 

[LeiZaK]

Viper please

 

[Fenixgoon]

viper FTW, although i'd gladly take either

 

[MasterAndCommander]

Viper - I' don't see too many of them around here...maybe like 3 in the last 5 years.

That was a stock Viper in and old Motor Trend test. It hit 198 and then the radiator busted or something.

 

[IBdaMac]

yeah, I'm pretty sure that viper is designed to handle more than 200 mph.

Either way, no doubt in my mind that I would choose the vette in a heartbeat. You guys are crazy for wanting that dodge piece of junk

 

[laurenlex]

I'd choose the Vette. It would be easier to drive "normally", handles better, even though it only has 750 horsepower.

 

[Corporate Thug]

Hennessey Viper

i just like the look of it more

 

[geno]

That Viper is RIDICULOUSLY sexy

 

[LikeLinus]

The vette gets'em wet. Thats all that needs to be said.
