    The Gallardo is AWD, which is obviously better in the rain and snow. Or the GT3, whatever And this guy claims to be impartial. Impartial to all cars. Just not your posts Interesting that Clarkson agrees with me. He basically just said everything I've been saying here for the past...

    Meanwhile, the Viper is much more reasonably close to the fit and finish of a Gallardo Dream on! costs only about 50% of the Lambo (let's not even talk about the Murcielago!), and it will go toe to toe with the Lambo all the way to the standing mile. yea, and after the first turn, the...

    Costing 1/3rd as much? Sorry. C&D recently tested the Caterham 7 and it was $50K. Since when does a Viper cost $150K?? well http://www.uscaterham.com lists the MOST expensive model at $30k with all performance options included. But I see when you compare the viper to a porsche or...

    Snakester, its unfortunate my analogy went over your head. The Viper has one asset and you guys cling to it like its some sort of automotive holy grail.... "its will outperform stuff costing twice as much on almost any racetrack" big deal! but if its that important to you, its still overpriced...

    omg, i keep trying to get out of the in-depth ancillary discussions here, but guibo keeps pulling me back in! I cited the vipers weight and the benz's displacement from a reputable source. If you disagree, [/b]accuse[/b] them of writing erroneous info- not me! Its not MY problem. If Motortrend...

    Hey Michael Moore, this was a perfect example of you people taking what I say out of context in a futile attempt to cast doubt on my comments.. I NEVER SAID run-flats dont save space And really, you cant be that stupid! Is this what viper guys do when they start losing an argument- take cheap...

    lol, again arguing my minutae! And all that time you spend in your library flipping through pages to tell me what i already know! You need to read my posts more carefully I NEVER said: SC430 doesnt have run-flats as optional (they did a quick U-turn and removed them as standard after...

    I saw topgear last night and it looks like they had a zonda convertible. So hopefully the stig gets it in the dry. My bet is that it will beat the lambo due to its power/weight in the same way the Ford GT and C6 p/w payed dividends.

    Its the tire manufacturers that market their run-flats as safety and convienence features (or upgrades). Weight is a bigger concern of manufacturers. Especially since they have to meet very tight CAFE standards. Its not easy to make up for the Viper when it gets only 12mpg in the city. The...

    ah, thats an easy one.. maybe in the same spot as the old car-but really anywhere they wanted it to, had they wanted it, since it was a clean sheet redesign. Yet to meet its design goals it was eliminated on purpose. Though to be fair. I'd say run-flats will become very common in the near...

    yes, the internet is an interesting place... this guy thinks the Yugo 45 is the best car ever made http://www.carsurvey.org/review_5029.html but whatever I'm sure everyone who would drive it would rave about the handling. All those supercars have phenomenal handling. But its power to...

    Yup, the Viper wasnt on Last night, just the Porsche S, 300C vs Monaro vs Jag type r, oh and an ice cream truck. crashing of course. The Zonda's forte isnt handling. Its forte is power and speed and quality. It was clear in just seat of the pants testing by clarkson that the Lambo with a...

    Talk about a spin,lol. You should work in politics. Reading what you just wrot...you seem to be say that switching to run-flats wouldnt save any negligable weight. And you'd be dead wrong. Any manufacturer who switches to a run-flat system on a production car does for one reason only. To...

    I'm RIGHT. you just arent listening to what i am saying. 'Fat' doesnt mean you just weigh them and the heaviest one is the fattest. Technology alone will make an identically equipped car lighter with time. Lighter metals become cost effective and computer and techonology yield lighter designs...

    unbelievable, you cant argue against my original point, so you take one word i said out of context to make it look like you have a legitimate argument. I was referring to the 92-02 viper. I was showing how every year or so it got more creature comforts and stuff that went agaisnt the...

    I read in motor trend that the viper weighed 3300lbs.. dont remmeber which one it was, but it was NOT the SRT-10 Its amazing that I am having four separate, though simliar, arguements here. And I think its you guys who are the biased ones. Clarkson doesnt like the SRT10 because of everything...

    YES. YES, you've captured the essence of what I've been trying to get across for 2 weeks and I couldnt agree more. It would be wise to take the opinion of someone who has driven every important car in their time very seriously. We arent talking about consumer reports who think cupholders are...

    I never said it was too civilized nor too feature laden. It's like if Jessica Simpson got a little smarter, she would still be dumb as a bucket of rocks. And it would start to ruin her charm- since we love it that she's a typical dumb blonde Let me try this a fourth way. I loved the original...

    I'm the ignorant one about the car's history? Let me try this a 3rd way... I was all for the back to basic philosophy when they brought it out in 1992. It was supposed to be like a modern ac cobra, where you are driving the engine. Where you want pure performance and nothing else to weight you...

    What, the Viper crony audience? mmkay...... those were readily available. I could dig up more, but why? I dont prefer automatics in performance cars, but your comments are absurd. The second fastest car around the top gear track is an automatic and the MOST powerful car in the world right...

    It looks like you'll understand if Clarkson makes comments about, "... the brute force engineering, and... ...about it being "crude" and a blunderbus." Its all relative. If thats the case for you, the Murci will be like a Honda civic.
