Re: \"feel\" of Viper power compared to...
few random thoughts:
1. slp still makes the firehawk although it is very similar to the ws6 package. as somebody said above- gm just wanted a part of the fad
slp still provides most of the parts for the ws-6 package btw. the original firehawk (i think back in 93) was a monster for its time, but was too expensive and never sold well (nobody would pay 40k+ for a firebird)..slp learned their lesson and the later slp products were just a tweak here and there on the intake/exhaust tract.
2. dont ever get into the performance/$$ discussion
"my car is more expensive therefore faster" statement is indicative of total lack of knowledge about modified cars. an f-body (camaro/firebird) with heads and cam (about $4k) will soundly hand a stock viper its *** in a drag race. better yet, a $5k fox body (mustangf) with $10k in mods done right is a 10 sec. car- hardly a stock viper teritory
vipers have huge potential and when modding one you can achieve monsterous numbers (800+hp), but the entry cost is so high, that there are plenty other cheaper cars that for much less money can be modified to be very very fast
everything is relative. a stock viper is hardly a king of the street.
