I'm amazed at how many people on here complain about this car before it is even out…crying about 640 horses…pathetic! I bet it will be much faster than anyone expected when tested...like the nissan gtr...under promise...over deliver!!! It will be magnificent and as those on the inside keep hinting …"fast as a m_ther_ucker!!!"


some nice videos…excuse me if they are already posted here.

Love the line -------------go buy an ugly Veyron and move on!

Glad to see someone else thinks this is one of the most butt ugly machines on Earth. It needs to go fast , so you don't have to see it looking like and overgrown squashed beetle, it only looks better blurred. IMHO of course,ha.

Actually, allegedly, can do about 205mph on that stretch, so I'm told. :D

It may be "faster" for one lap around the ring, but it still falls short in HP! Even the new mustang has more power. Now i'm not saying the Mustang going to be faster, but the outragousness of the Viper is GONE with this model. What ever happend to being the #1 American Super car..? Not to mention a plastic engine cover... Really?

Vipertony....in that stretch "one" can easily do back to back runs from 70 up to 170 so i would think you could hit 300-400 in one run with a tomahawk ;)

HP is not everything. It's just like the ignorant masses judging a stereo system or any amp on the total watts. I've got a 100 watt amp at home that would blow the windows out of my house if I would let it all the while with perfectly clear sound. Most people would laugh at my "100 watt only" amp... Why? Because they don't know jack ____ until they hear the quality.

That being said, a SUPERCAR is made up of more than just hp. It's also, torque, gearing, weight, weight distribution, suspension, etc., etc... I just laugh at all this hp wars crap... :lmao:

I do, however, love the Veyron and wish I could afford one. :drive:

I seem to recall, allegedly, a fellow Viper owen from NJ that would allegedly do just that with his supercharged Viper. Not naming names but I suspect it was Phil. :D

Donuts4me9....Please lay off the donuts! What is "it may be faster for one lap around the ring" mean? Isn't that how you measure performance! Like on a track? How many times things look good on paper but don't add up on the track or on the field "in sports" you can tell me all the numbers you want. But when I kick your butt on the track, I don't give a crap on your claims! and please don't tell us about who is going to be faster until they prove it, the mustang has always been a heavy pig that takes someone other than the manufacture to make go fast. Why would it be any different this time? And even thou I don't like the engine cover myself, you can't see it with the hood closed!Or at 206
MPH!

Really?

I see you are an enthusiast, do you own a Viper?

The people at SRT have built a world class car. Many of us appreciate it!

Wow. Another Mustang comment. Well there's some 1000 hp Civics out there. Go buy one of those and get off the forum. The new Viper will be much faster than the Mustang, much better looking, and much better quality. It will still be the king of American performance production cars. If you want an ugly ass Mustang go buy one and be prepared to park next to the tens of thousands of other Mustangs out there.

I mostly agree, but the Mustang really isn't ugly. It's a nice pony car like the Camaro and has its place.
