Viper vs Corvette Z06...

[benchmstr]

There is nothing like a C5 Z06, C6 Z06 or a ZR1.


All the rest suck ass. Fuck with me and my Z and you will wish you had stayed home instead of nursing your newly shredded ass in embarrassment. Sad but true.

depending on if you have enough mods...you might make a decent race for my fiance...

Ha, so do use any of the turbo'd cars as daily drivers, or they are strictly project cars.

i dont build anything i cant drive every day......the only things i have that are not really good for the street are...

1)my 2003 hayabusa...i built it for standing mile races...it has around 550rwhp...but somehow still passed inspection on low boost...
2)my f350 harley truck....it has 30" of lift.....with 52" tires.....driving that over sized peice of shit in traffic, or a parking lot is a pain in the ass...

LOL, yeah, I can see the reasons for that.

i have driven the truck 2 times in the last year time period.....it is driven by other people waaaayy more....my friend got layed off of work and he needed quick cash so he sold me the truck...it had 44" tires on it, with 25" of lift when i got it from him...and my dumbass went off and made a hard to drive truck even harder to drive...the entire intake(turbo,piping, intercooler), fuel system, and exhaust has been changed...i tuned it via data logger....i would love to put it on a dyno and see what kind of power it puts out...

That truck would have been perfect for me for this blizzard we had in MD---I had to have the National Guard drive me to work.

Ha, hey do you think if Buell was still around, that they could have made a really decent sportbike, something comparable to the CBR600RRs, etc. Or a literbike comparable to the japanse Literbikes...and I'm talking a true sportbike.

....no..... buell was always known for their tademark looks, and sounds.....they would have never deviated from that regardless of market demand...i would never own one....but i have had fun on the ones i have ridden...

Okay, I know someone who owns one...loves the torque he gets from the air cooled twin. He likes it,  that's all that matters.

they are very fun bikes...but they aren't for me.....they were offered the chance by many private riders to financially take care of them but they still decided to shut it down...sounds like there is more to the story...

Hmm, I'm gonn ask about that. Funny, how Harley boughtMV Agusta, kinda setting up them to be the exotic sports arm, Buell to cater to the cafe racer type crowd, and Harley, well Harley ids Harley...And then Buell had to shut down.

Jeremy Clarkson seemed to have been right when he called the aerodynamics of american cars shitty lol
So much for all the HP when you can not transfer it to the road!

It's actually fun when you have a car that shakes it's ass whenever you step on the gas pedal, if you have the talent that is. I'd get an American "super" sports car over any Porsche!

Vipers look bad-ass, but It's sadly one of these cars that you're better off looking at than being behind It's wheel.

Z06 all the way!

I was waiting for you to show up...

Vipers have the wow factor over Vette's any day, but are also way more uncomfortable to drive, 1st is a bitch and the clutch is way too hard compared to a Vette..

put it this way: I could drive somewhere 45 minutes in a Corvette and enjoy the ride, there's no way I could make that same statement about the Viper

agreed.  i say the Viper is like a street legal racecar (say that backwards)  where as the Corvette is a superfast luxury car.

supras are for sure the kings of the road, but i have wanted a 03-04 cobra for a while now

Yep, exactly. But, the Viper was originally built with that in mind. It was built as a throwback to the musclecars of the 60's. Just a big motor and a pedal that you have to control. The Gen 1's didn't even have outside door handles and had plastic zipper windows. Now, the Gen 2's and 3's have more creature comforts, A/C, power windows and locks, but still just a big ass motor and the pedal. Very little R&D still in the traction control that the Vette has.

I remember the 1st gen's and R/T's ton of torque but not great around corners.. two of my friends had Viper's so I've gotten to take a few turns driving them, their loud as hell too.

the 03-04 cobra is awesome....this is my 3rd one....it has a single 88mm turbo...with heads that i ported myself, and mph cams......

this is my second supra....i got it cheap as hell due to a theft salvage.....it ran a 9.14 at over 155mph last month.....the car+the mods+the work= less than $12,000...i am about to have it painted a really badass orange, and get some rims....i have just been driving it on slicks, and skinnies...
