Ah. Here's how i see it. Supra+mods= speed and price of viper=more engine problems. Stock viper= speed of supra=less chance of engine problems. Now, Viper+mods=standing mile record, Team Oreca 24 hour Le Mans champion famous viper, SVS 2 speed 2000crank hp viper, even drifting champion car was a viper?!?!? One day ill have my viper[:@]

 

In all honesty, you have to look at why the Viper costs so much. First is quality. Second, they are hand built. Even if you hate Dodge (curse you!) you should at least know that the motors and transmissions are nothing to laugh about. They can handle abuse after abuse and even some serious modifications without worry. Plus, only true drivers can drive the car. Unlike the stupid corvettes, Viper only has ABS as any sort of computer controlled assist and it still dominates cars w/ traction control and race modes. There is a big difference between a car that needs computer aided driving, and a car that has it built in its mechanical structure. Skill FTW.

 

I know your not saying that Dodge(one of the worst companies in the automotive game other than pretty much every french company) created a motor more bullet proof than a 2JZ(IMO one of the greatest motors ever conceived).

and the viper that set the standing mile record ran on ethanol, now lets compare say the Hennessy Viper standing mile vs say........the Lingenfelter C6's. 226mph of the C6 to the 225mph of the Viper........226mph.........thats more lol.

Also, the Viper won the Formula Drift circuit, D1 is where real drifting happens lol.

I just like debating

 

LOL in the Viper vs Corvette road races the vipers had to put %40 restriction chips on their engines so the vettes could keep up LOL. That race was a while back. How about the Tomahawk? Too fast to be drivin/rode lol.

^^reffering to what??

 

street legal corvette>street legal viper. not that I really like Chevy all too much more than Dodge.

I tried to find this great picture, it had a miata leading like 4 vipers in a road race and the caption said skill>money but I couldnt find it[:@]

 

ah yes here it is

 

Im not a fan of Mopar, But the Challenger Hennessy is a car I would definitly own. The Supra,Viper and Linginfelter Vette are concidered super carsand the Challenger is just a muscle car. The Challenger is a sick car for what it is.

 

Where did you get these specs?

In some magazine they did a $500k shootout with a lingfelter, henessey, gallardo, and a few others and the Viper won every single test but one. First place went to viper and Hennessey Vipers are almost $50k cheaper then Lingenfelter vettes.
