    New 08 Viper or a Ford GT

    I would be willing to buy your 06 to make some room for you. ;)

    New 08 Viper or a Ford GT

    I'm pretty sure none of the guys that own both prefer the GT simply because it's the faster car, and I'd imagine the reasoning will carry over when the Viper ends up quicker than the GT. Just like there's a reason people still prefer the SRT-10 or GTS to the C6Z, even though the C6Z is...

    New 08 Viper or a Ford GT

    08 Viper is a new car, they don't make Ford GT's anymore. You'll have current KOTH status in the Viper. I'd buy an 08 for a track car before I'd buy a(nother) GT. If you're just looking for a car to haul ass around town and have fun in, just look at what all the dual owners are saying. I...

    Well I really went to the dark side I traded my SRT for a Ford GT!

    Congrats on the car. I would estimate at least half of the GT owners currently registered on www.fordgtforum.com own or have owned Vipers. Many of them owning several (including the Gen III cars). The two clearly draw from a similar ownership pool.

    Ford GT VS. SRT-10 coupe (not mag test). owners of both please respond!!!!!

    There are plenty of owners of both at www.fordgtforum.com It seems a great deal of Viper owners go on to purchase Ford GTs, and several of the members at the site have picked up or will be picking up new SRT-C's...the fastest time an actual owner has posted at the site is [email protected].

    ROUSH EDITION viper srt-10 COUPE

    That wing is atrocious, but that hood and front splitter look great. Color looks excellent as well.

    Better daily driver? Jaguar S-Type R, or Cadillac CTSV?

    I had an S-Type R, and over the course of my lease, I absolutely pummeled it. It saw more WOT than any other car I've ever had. It was just a fun DD. Quiet, swift, great trans, great looking inside and out. And it never had a single problem, traditional english gremlin or otherwise. Too...

    viper vs vette vs gt! REMATCH!!! this time by MT

    So the Z06 won in acceleration, road course time, and matched the 60-0 braking, lateral g's(which is an overated magazine racer stat anyways) and was within 3 ft from 100-0? Which would you say is the better performer in a one word answer? I know which I'd pick if racing of any kind was my...

    VCA Member Question - Viper or Ford GT

    I meant in terms of quality/looks. Switchgear(outside of the ac vents, which aren't bad but are clearly from the family parts bin), materials, gauges, the McIntosh head unit, the glowing HVAC controls, shifter, trans tunnel cover, etc are all light years ahead of the fisher price bullshit Chevy...

    VCA Member Question - Viper or Ford GT

    The GT is anything but a kit car. It's certainly in a different league than a Noble or TVR etc. The only car I've driven that feels more solidly put together with a better attention to detail is an Aston DB9, and even that isn't that far beyond the GT. I'd put the paint against that of any...

    Motor Trend ...blah

    Kind of like the Road and Track different-day/different-condition comparo was by some in the viper crowd here? It's hilarious how when numbers favor crowd-x's particular car they are deemed "realistic", but when they favor crowd-y's they are deemed "b.s". Intelligent people know mag times...

    overhyped '05 FORD GT autoweek [email protected]

    Re: overhyped \'05 FORD GT autoweek [email protected] Precisely my point. You can't put much stock in the actual times any car gets on any given day. The only way to differentiate between cars of remotely similar power levels, especially the higher those levels get, is head to head performance...

    overhyped '05 FORD GT autoweek [email protected]

    Re: overhyped \'05 FORD GT autoweek [email protected] You could start the same thread and say "overhyped '05 Dodge SRT-10 Road and Track 12.5 @ 116" , because that's exactly what they got. "Track" conditions, driver, launch methods, etc all vary greatly from day-to-day and rag-to-rag. Believe me...

    Highest mph achieved in the 1/4?

    That's a great run. Was that on the stock tires? :usa:

    More new Viper Coupe Pics

    I'm already working on this. It's gonna be an amazing merging of the worlds. There will be sandwiches and kool aid for all. And best of all, you can ride your tricycle and make pictures on your etch-a-sketch of one of the cars you can have when you're all growed up. :p

    Hoping the new coupe looks like the Comp Coupe? Fugedaboutit

    I haven't seen this mag but if they said another 500hp drop top is coming from a US company, unless they specifically said or implied Chevy, they were probably referencing Ford. The new Cobra is getting a 500 horse powerplant and they will be building that in convertible form. I doubt you'll...

    FORGET WHAT YOU HEARD ABOUT THE FORD GT!!!!!!

    Magazine racing is and always will be for losers. To quote a magazine that gets an 11.90 out of an SLR, which is substantially quicker than an SL65 whom your very own Ben Treynor whipped an 11.6 from, is futile. Has anybody here raced a Ford GT? Oh? No...well then I guess we'll wait until...

    so if the SRT-10 is a better car...

    FWIW, the market is just saturated with so many options right now that inevitably sales will suffer. And they've just built too many. I've always been of the mind that in the near exotic sports car market, you only build as many as you're sure you'll sell. Taking the "edge" off the looks of...

    Come on now man! We know you had no cash until you got that Viper. :p :rolleyes: I hope to someday be able to "get some real $$$" and afford a Viper too. :D (ps don't ask about Craig's car. It's so fast it's invisible. As is all the money he's earned from those jobs, which are...

    Dodge better pick up the hp.

    Floorin04, start buying the stock. Not that the Mustang competes with 80k cars, but the power number is dead on fact.

    TOP GEAR VIPER VIDEO!

    Re: TOP GEAR VIPER VIDEO! I was a tad dissapointed they didn't do more wacky tests and stuff like they usually do. The Viper burnout was nice and the review was good(for Clarkston). It sucks that the track was wet, but that was actually a really clean lap for how shitty the conditions were...

    SRT on BBC Top Gear

    Ditto. There's no way you can tell me that with better braking and an extra 100hp the SRT is almost 20 seconds slower than a 405hp Z06 with John Heinricy driving(7:56). I would not be surprised at all with a sub 7:50 with a schooled Nurb AND Viper driver at the wheel.

    SRT on BBC Top Gear

    I'd bet on 124.1. All depends on the Stig though. They don't do too well with cars they don't have readily available. Seems like the Porsches and Ferrari's always get really clean, slide free laps...
