Tim Harper who has wrenched all my Vipers since 94, as well as my GTs and other cars recently took part in an SRT event in Vegas. Tim builds drag cars and has often been in Hot Rod Mag.
He was blown away by the new Viper. I told him of the Motor Trend controversy and he seemed very skeptical.
Not sure what " familiar with the car" entails , but lets make it interesting and say $1000.00. After all , a day ago you said the Viper would take it by 2 seconds .( and I have, for now a Launch Edition on order).
Hmmm. Not sure about that. I have a 458 parked next to 2 Vipers in my garage. The 458 is 3 inches longer, and inch wider with a 6 inch wider wheel base. Is the ACR that much different?? Maybe the wing makes it seem that way. (and while I love ACRs I don't think the 458 has a lot of fear)
If I were rich I would add the F 40, and the Miura even though I think Lambo stole from the GT 40 for the Miura design.
A baseball player who lives nearby has the Aventator (and 458). It looks bad a$$ from the rear but to me the rest of it looks funky.
Mine are primarily based on looks:
1. Jaguar E Type Vert
2. BMW 507
3. Ford GT (05-06--I am partial)
4. Ferrari 250 Daytona
5.Tie- 1996 Viper GTS/1957 Corvette
My $300K Ferrari 458 only has 570 HP and now you tell me the new Viper is just 640? When I get mine I am gonna give Fiat a piece of my mind as to both , damn it.
C'mon guys, we are beginning to look a bit dumb to our car enthusiast buddies. Carp about looks or this and that if you will, but...
