2014 SRT Viper

[HammerDown]

Have you seen the 2014 Viper? It's being described as a Corvette killer but appearance-wise at least, it's very, very similar in my opinion. It's almost JDM-ish.

What do you think?

Bitchin'! Wish I had an extra garage for a 3rd car. The only bad thing I've ever heard about Vipers is they're too hard core for daily driving. Might wanna take a class...

I just don't think it's fair to compare a handmade supercar with a limited run of 33 models (the SRT Viper TA) to a mass-produced "budget sportscar" in the Corvette. That said, it's impressive but dollar-for-dollar I fail to see the realworld value. But I guess that's a whole other discussion.

that was going to be my question...What is their difference in base price? Isn't a base Corvette around $50k while a base Viper is nearly double that? Hard to "kill" something when you cost so much more.

lol. They should make a Viper with a 4 cylinder and value mechanicals to sell for $37k. Then we could all look cool!

There was concept car a few years back by Chrysler, the Firepower which was essentially a viper chassis with a cheaper srt-8 6.1 hemi instead of the 25 grand v-10. They never made it but they should have. They should have been bailed out under the condition that this be made

Who cares where its made when it would kick pretty much any American mass produced car in the nuts on a country road?

And at $100k, I'd hope it could kick the crap out of cars $40k less.

Sorry. I didn't realize American cars only came in at < 60k.

The only mass produced American car that could see the GTR on a big boy course is the Corvette C6 zr1 and they come in at 140k plus.....and have almost twice the motor displacement.

Ford is the best car manufacturer in the world, but I have a hard time making a case for other american companies vs Japanese.

I'm totally with you. Supporting Government Motors since the bailouts is a vote for the UAW and Obama and I'm not doing that. Ford is killing everyone else and they're not doing it with Obama's communist handouts.

Lol at me trying to troll while on Ambien. I like Fords, but they are a bit on the pricey side for what they are. Would most likely go Ford if my focus was on a new American vehicle. Nissan GTRs will haul f'n ass for a v6 though....especially on a road course.

A twin turbo V-6. Not that impressive when you consider they're getting over 300 hp out of a naturally aspirated V-6 these days.
