Anyone see the recent Car and Driver "Super Car Comparo" ? My Tivo grabbed the episode over the weekend...They compared the Ford GT to "the competition", a GT3 and the Ferrari Challenge Stradale (I know nothing of this car)...

So where was the Viper, and I wonder how they would have compared the GT to the SRT10?

Also, wouldn't the GT2 be the better car to compare?

The reason the SRT-10 wasn't in it is because,the Viper would have stole Ford's thunder in regards to the GT-40. Ford sells a ton of Mustangs. Car and Driver wouldn't want to tick Ford off and risk them pulling ads from there magazine.

Not sure how they pick them, but all 3 vehicles where in the $100K-200K price range. Maybe the SRT-10 is just too good of a deal in comparison :laugh:

The SRT/10 is an awesome car. I spent some time with one yesterday afternoon for the first time. It owns! Styling could be improved upon some, but if it weren't for the awesome looks of the original 92-02 beauties nobody would be knocking the SRT/10s looks.

The SRT-10 is not a Coupe, it is a CONVERTIBLE. The cars highlighted in the program were track coupes. Maybe next time, Dodge.

I think the Stradale is a little like the comp coupe in that it is supposed to be the track version run on the Ferrarri challenge series. Kinda like our Viper Days wheel to wheel series. Too bad they could not use a comp coupe in the comparison, that would have been interesting! I think the others are all street legal though. Unlike like our comp coupe.....sigh.
