[saadie]

[Zonda11]

Nice car...but I'm sure the Diablo be just fine! :D

[TT]

I'm sure the Diablo is fast enough for now ;) and BTW, it was already a pain to ship some PC monitors across the pond... talk about shipping a whole car :D

hehehe, thats even cheaper than ship small things dude :wink:

[BADMIHAI]

Yeah, man, but almost no road car in GB could touch it in a straight line. :twisted:

There are no straight lines in UK :D

[Anile8er]

well only things that could take it on the curves would be enzo and maclaren and the new porche :D

Man ... the Viper CANT corner properly , that is the main problem about american cars .

that never fails to come up... and guess what? not all euros/japs can corner that great either :P
the viper does in fact corner well... and is comparable to the limits of a Diablo...

however, at the limit is more dangerous in a viper, then in a diablo :wink: a new viper on the other hand... :roll:

Man, ain't that the truth!

[DanielW]

While we're putting stereotyping cars, let me counter Paro355's retarded statement with a statement of my own.

"Man, all Europen cars are shit, with bumpers and mirrors that don't match the color of the rest of the car. They have crappy seats, and no power features whatsoever, they don't even have more than 100hp, and most of them are fucking diesels."

American cars don't corner because they don't need to. You think the 50 year old guy gives a flying fuck if his Buick Roadmaster, or Ford Crown Victoria can do the slalom at 60mph+. Hell no. Americans love luxury and a smooth ride, which means that the suspension will be pretty soft and there will be a lot of body roll.

To answer your stupid generalization.

-Viper
-Corvette
-Ford GT
-Mosler
-Saleen S7

i think we need to add a few cars to that bunch
mustang cobra R
T/A WS-6
C7
Saleen SR
Vector twin turbo V8

[DanielW]

plus the CTS-V :twisted:

[DR.GONZO]

american cars rule! :mrgreen: turns too!

[nejcdolinsek]

Sweet car!

But I think the spoiler is a bit too big, IMO

[RC45]

Yeah, man, but almost no road car in GB could touch it in a straight line. :twisted:

Except the couple of modded Vettes that would (and have) handed the Hennessey Vipers their ass on a platter - in a straight line and round the bends... :twisted: ;)

-- oh and for a lot less than $190,000USD as well.. :P

Good lick on this chap even getting $90,000 for his car - the last few that sold, did so for way under $100,000... WAY, WAY, WAY under $100,000 :lol: lol... that's why it's on eBay... even in the Viper community they wouldn't pay that much for it :lol: LOL

[RC45]

well my friends selling his viper

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=2481399013&category=6209

BTW - nice touch that you are the only bidder so far... ;) :lol: LOL -- better not let eBay find out you are shill-bidding... whysuckit.... :twisted:

[astonmartinandy]

Well that car looks f*cking quick just standing still, but I agree with the point on the the cost. There is no way i would pay that much for a viper :roll:

[jon_s]

What is with that spoiler! :?

[yg60m]

I prefer the Viper without these shirts and wings. And i even more prefer the Diablo and the 355 :wink:

[cooperluke]

What's the point... everybody knows that Vipers don't corner very well compared with their European counterparts...
I've seen once a slalom with a Viper GTS, a Ferrari 355 and a Porsche 911 turbo.. and it's amazingly comic..

The Ferrari doesn't even move...
The Porsche body rolls a bit, but keeps the trajectory line...
The Viper seems a bathtub with wheels... and oversteering like a mad!!

:)

And, DanielW... you say that American cars don't corner because they don't need to.. and because Americans like them that way... It's your problem!! I'm just saying that I (and most people) prefer European cars because they corner much better!!

Oh.. and we don't need massive 8 liter engine like the Viper GTS to extract 400 hp or more! And don't need massive fuel consuption to have fast cars!

I think it's an insult to the rest of the world the amount of fuel your cars consume...
Do you know that the USA consume the same amount of fuel in a month that Europe, Japan, China, Russia and North of Africa countries.. all together?

[SPEEDKILLAR]

I'll bid 50.000 usd 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

[Squeek]

but that viper does look pretty nippy! if i saw that id be drooling for the rest of the day. :D :mrgreen: :fadein:

haha you're so stupid that it's amusing.

1. How many American cars have you driven to come to the conclusion that they can't corner.
2. Who cares how many liters the car has. We don't put big engines in regular cars anymore, we save them for the sports cars and SUVs and trucks.
3. No matter how you cut it, a "fast car" is gonna take a lot of fuel, doesn't matter if it's a NA V8 or a turbo I4. Funny how the 400hp Z06 gets better gas mileage than a S2000 or an M3, and I won't even mention any exotics.
4. Do you know how many vehicles americans own as a country?? Do you know how many miles an average american drives to work or school??? This is not Europe where your job is around the corner and you can take your bicycle. My mom commutes 60 miles to work each way, and my dad around 30. There's people who commute even more. Not to mention that Americans love to cruise on the weekends and often take countless trips across the country. So please don't get self righteous, I used to live in Europe and when I left about 1 in 5 people had a car where as here each family has 5. If you haven't lived here don't make stupid comments.

Even with China being the second largest oil consumer in the world? I don't think so.

I like Vipers, but no way in hell would I pay that much for one. Especially one as ugly as that! That spoiler really sucks.

[nthfinity]

i think the problem herein lies in entrence speed, and following through with exit velocity. a fast car will have to brake hard, and not over-do it on the exit; which requires much more precision then a car that doesnt have to brake as hard, or cant accellerate as hard.

that is why a viper/Z06/360/GT3/WS-6/Mustang would be harder on any twisting road then a Nissan 240 sx...

[RC45]

I guess we got our different ways of looking at things, but of those I have driven (not that I have a very wide range they are bad) the new ones are better Im sure and if we should belive RC45 he will probably say that the Z06 will beat almost everything out there.....

Im not saying that the american sport cars doesnt handle well, but thats when you look at the more high end american sport cars,as in European or Asian cars you can get great handling even in the lower entry models......
This is because of the roads I`m sure, but you dont need much handling to go on the autobahn either.

Just a side note I had a passanger from Houston riding with me in a primera, and he happend to own a viper, I think his words where something like "when you enter these twists and turns in these speeds, you either know the roads as the inside of your own pocket or your just plain crazy"
This was not one of my fastest trips on that stretch of the road by far, and he where sure he couldnt have keept up in his viper,the primera wasnt race prepped or anything only fitted with 15" alloy wheels........go figure..... :roll:

The viper for sale here is that "venomviper" from rf`s viper?

Really?? Then that Viper owner is not a driver... at all.

[LotusGT1]

God, I almost forgot how cheesy those Hennessey's look.

Hennessey is a fraud anyway, I wouldn't touch his cars with a wooden stick...check this example:

[schnell318]

What do you want all that power for if the thing can´t even corner properly. And I wouldn´t be surprised if it doesn´t brake properly either. :?

[jon_s]

NO NO NO NO not the US/European debate!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..........

runs and hides. :(
