If You Had to Dump Your Viper...What Car Would You Get?

[Hostile]

TUV ***** big time just another way to tax manufacturers that try to

export to Europe. I have done some motorcycles and it is a never ending

pile of red tape.

[Y2K10 SRT#39]

I can tell I'm getting older-
CTS-V Sport Wagon
M-B E63 AMG Wagon....

But you can tell I still want to HAUL ass.

PBR

 

[Zan186]

Ford GT
Ferrari Enzo
Ferrari Callifornia

If I couldn't have my Viper it would be a Cobra. BUT I love my ACR.

 

[ROYMAN]

Thinking about doing this now actually. I am moving from the suburbs of Boston into the city for work, and despite the astronomical price on my apartment they want an additional few hundred a a month per indoor parking space... considering north station and my office is only a walk away I dont really need a car anymore so I am thinking of selling my cars and getting into a murcielago.

 

[neilsfishing]

another Viper

 

[ACRsnake]

991 GT2 or Turbo

Polar opposites. I've seen these two cars debated on the Lotus forum a lot... Its interesting what they think of the Viper

Very polar opposites...lol. The exige was a little too small inside, a little to loud inside, just not very user friendly for me or passengers. Great driving car but not great for a drive through the country on a nice day. It just didn't have the meanness of the viper. I'm looking for a gen IV as well...lol

c63 or m3 if viper wasn't avalible. Would also give a try to a new mustang gt500

Noble M600 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VjPBrDt_x8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzio39uCb1o
I drive my friend's M400 that has a tune of near 500 HP and I can imagine what the M600 would be with more HP and less weight!

 

[VJR3]

I would only get rid of my Viper for this one, actually I would do anything to get my little track hands on one:

Original GTS-R (its not a viper, its a super hero)

Other then that it would have to be another Viper

*1998 GT2
*08-10 ACR
*ACR-X
*Gen 5 Track Pack or Future ACR

Rossion all the way

This is actually an interesting question, pity it turned into "my dream car"
I think the point of the thread is, if you had to get rid of your Viper for $$ reasons / practicality, what would you get?

I would probably get one of the new Volvo C70 convertibles

I think that's what some have got this thread confused with, cause some have mentioned several cars that are thousands of $$$ more than what their Viper is worth! The question is NOT what your DREAM car is, but WHAT CAR you would get if you HAD to DUMP YOUR VIPER (it wouldn't be a car that is thousands of $$$ more)!

Fair enough... If I had to come out of it with some cash in my hand after the "downgrade" then Acura NSX. Worth about 10 grand less than my Viper, but still semi-exotic, marginally more reliable and "practical" if that matters...
And still with a manual!

I hope the people considering lambos are either using them exclusively at the track or they have driven a few before. Rented a gallardo in san diego and was extremely unimpressed, even disappointed....but I didn't drive it on a track either.

What did you find disappointing about it?

 

[GTS Bruce]

I love my GTS. Not overly impressed with the new GTS. But never say never. I'm thinking Ferrari 575M maranello.

 

[v10viperbox]

When I drove one the e-gear was terribly jumpy. The seats were down right terrible, very hard and unsupported. It does feel special when you drive it and a manual car with a good set of exhaust pipes on it.

Deep down if they came and took my Viper away I would try and find Bentley GTC or a Morgan AeroMax.

 

[Golfer15]

Like some of you, nothing jumps out at me after having the car(s) of my dreams. It's not about having what you want but wanting what you have. And with that being said, I would hunt down a black aventador.

 

[AbsolutHank]

What did you find disappointing about it?

It probably wasn't the LP560...

 

[TexasTorred]

Mercedes SLS

 

[The_Greg]

Mercedes SLS

Haha, thats kind of a cheater answer since that is the Schrodinger's Viper (alternate reality, if DCx continued to exist). Nice choice though. The Black version looks mean!

 

[Kratos]

Simple answer. Ford GT.

Is the Ford GT quicker than the Viper?

 

[bigmack339]

Honda Accord v6 coupe.

 

[Flash Gordon]

^^^ WHAT HE SAID ^^^ Honda Fit FTW!

 

[JJS555]

I think I would get the CTSV Sportwagon as my DD. I have a Range Rover now and the reliability is garbage plus the wagon is a manual and that is just awesome! As for the Viper replacement, I've always wanted an FGT...it would have to be something American and muscle to replace the Viper beast!

Prefer Viper but....
Daily driver M3 Coupe
Upscale MBSL 65 AMG

Wonder if you could drop a V10 crate motor in this?

The hood sure looks long enough. That is one of the coolest trucks I have ever seen!
