    besides that iv only sat in a viper and reved it up a tiny bit ever since then if been only dreaming that i will ever get to drive somin that feels that amazing to sit in

    Contrary to popular belief, VTEC will not solve your problems. Go back to school.

    Also, the Carrera GT has stock recaros .

They are driving a 8.3L V10 balls-to-the-walls race car because that is exactly what they wanted.

    I noticed a lot of typos in your post. Edit for accuracy. You shouldn't have come to the party at all with such an ignorant argument that banked on nothing but stereotypes, ignorance, and apparent jealousy.

    A mega rigid chassis and absolutely gigantic tires underlaying a light body with even weight distribution disagrees. The Viper is very, very fast, even in corners. At the autocross last year, the only car faster then the all stock Viper was a VW on racing slicks.

    Absolutey and if you could afford one you'd be driving one as well. It may not be a viper but I'm sure you wouldn't pick a Kia as your 'penis on wheels' car if you could afford something much better - Different strokes for everyone though, some like a more baller car and some couldn't care how much quilted alcantera leather, carbon fiber shit is in the car. People buy what they like and what they want.

    Some people just live on a whole other level then the rest of us. Don't hate them because they have more money then most of us - do what I do - live vicareously through them until you have your own coin.

    According to dodges "amazing enginerring" that engine, if it were to hold par with hondas size/power ratio should put out 888 HP. 510 HP, thats bassicaly a honda d-series ratio. If you make a honda d-series 8L it will do 510 HP too.

    Glass headlights are a PITA. Especially on a higher end car, dodge was smart to go with plastic. Far superior in "design" then glass, but far less "class".

    And figuring that they cant get the "design" part right, maybe they should just go for class.
    No to mention if you calculate th s2000's power to an 8L. Honda s2000 has the most hp/litre of displacement out of any production car in the world, I believe. 246hp from 2.0L

    2.0L x4 = 8L

    246hp x 4 = 984hp

    I fucking love the comparison of a honda to a viper srt-10. I might as well compare this computer chair I'm sitting on to the racing seats in the viper. They both hold my ass in place - but that's about it.

    That makes a lot of sense

    I'm not comparing the cars, or even the engines you smart ass. I'm comparing the technology involved, compare the nsx if u want i don't really give a fuck.

    So i doesn't make sense to compare this miata to this viper even though the miata beats it in the corners??? Give your fucking head a shake.

    Did you ever think that the technology isn't scaleable? Ignorance is bliss I suppose.

    So what you've effectively pointed out is that the NSX, while having lots of technology, is still slower than a Viper. Thank you for basically proving our point.

    oh wait... wait..... wait...

    The NSX is not only slower... but ... but... more expensive!

    I can picture a bunch of Dodge engineers sitting around a table discussing how to make the next viper faster. And some retard in the back of the room saying " Can't we just make the engine bigger" and all the others praising engineering capabilities......

    Raw horse power my asss.

    Raw horse power with engineering would be a B18C6/7 1.8L JDM DOHC VTEC pushing out 200hp.

    Not a 8L 10V Engine pushing out 500hp any 10 year old can realize that bigger engine means more horsepower......

    Like i have said before "the only substitute for cubic inches is technology"
    Yeah, and put the same level of technology with displacement and you lose. Repeatedly. Evertime. What do you think a DOHC, variable valve timing, high compression V-10 will do? How much torque do B18's put out, yes that's right lets all be ricers and masturbate about hp/litre.

    The old v-10 is just that, old. It's served it's purpose and will be replaced shortly. The next V-10 will be north of 600 HP. No power adder. No VTAK. No 11.5:1 compression.

    Isn't it also cancelled due to lack of interest.

    I love my hondas as much as the next fanboy but for crying out loud you cannot make this argument. It is NOT how it works you can't just multiply HP/efficency rating like that.

    Why does NSX not have 384 hp out of it's 3.2L supercar engine? According to the math of 120hp/L that would be 3.2L*120Hp/L = 384hp.
    Don't you think they would rather have 384hp in their supercar instead of only 290hp?

    Guys... This thread has gotten ridiculous..
    I won't even comment about the viper because its just feeding fuel to the fire.

    GTS Beautifull vehicle! I would Love to have one.
    SRT10 ugly, what was dodge thinking.

    Sometime this happens to the production line up though.
    Toyota Corolla AE86 1986 Amazing vehicle, super light, super fun, RWD!! Nice little engien aswell..

    Newer corolla, crap, shit on a stick, barf, FF..... slower then slow...
    If it were a woman it would be the girl who gets her leg chopped off in horror movies and has to crawl away..

    Because A... That guy doesn't know what hes talking about, There is ALLOT more which applies to physics he still needs to learn if he goes back to grade 12..

    and B... they didn't turbo the nsx.
