Apparently the original prototype Viper twisted the chassis so badly, they had to cut the driver out. Once they'd sorted that, it chewed up a pig-iron truck flywheel and spat it out onto the tarmac. Yes.

The Viper is a bit 'off my radar' - it's not my kind of car at all. Having said that, I do love the idealology.

Hows this good news?

[rev440]

I could of swore the car has a hydroglide 2 speed in it. I only hear him shift once. Dam thats fast.

I've always thought the Heffner Vipers were the cream of the crop

I like Vipers, especially the oldschool ones - the only thing wrong with them is when people try to apply standards to them that they shouldn't. The Viper isn't designed to compete with the 911 - it's supposed to be a raw, powerful driving experience, end of story. It's not supposed to be able to be driven by anyone, and its not supposed to be fast around a track (even if it is) - it's supposed to scare you when you drive it. Sounds like fun to me.

According to Car and Driver, the new Coupe is more driver friendly in handling than the Z06...but it leaves its mark on you when you get out.

Claimed you have to be very careful when getting out, because the pipes below are so hot.

Hmm...maybe driver friendly, but apparently leaves it's "bite" on you.

I've heard heffner has tuned a few new viper V10's to 1700hp at the crank with turbos, and "only" a 250hp shot of Nitrous.

Care to explain? Worse than civics? My friend do not fret this car is quite a work of art. Despite the fact that you do not like Vipers, you must admit this car is quite quick. Even those who hate drag racing must admit a 7.99sec quarter mile is ridiculous.

I know a guy who sold his viper to a guy for a trade on a new z06 because it was such a nicer car. It was a 04 SRT10 btw so it must be a nice car or something.

[Newbomb Turk]

The Corvette has evolved much more than the Viper. Kinda sad because i love the Vipers looks. The new Z06 will drive away from it for less money as mentioned already.

[Street_Dreamer]

the viper is the best car ever made

he says as he smokes his weed

[Intruudir]

I prefer the Hennessey Vipers......checkthem out...awesome....but then they should be at $225,000

[pAinTrAin]

Do a vette up like that and it will beat that time.

Vipers are roadcourse cars. I have been to many track days with my viper and let me tell you that is where they belong. They handle great you just have to be a good driver. I have killed some of your "great handling" European cars on the track many of times including a Lotus Elise I lapped on his home track.

One thing that most of you don't know are how much Torque comes into the equation when on a road course. How nice it is to be able to power out of the corners. You guys need to do some research on vipers frankly it is embarrassing some of the crap you read on these forums.

The pipes are covered by the body and only the end of the pipe is even near the openning which is way past where one would be upon exiting...
