Yeah, they'll rip on the car for sure. Although they did mention some strong point of the C6, 300C and the Caddy CTS.

well it should get a great review since my friend has a hennessy 650r and the new viper <-*Edit* he ses it handles and grips better then 650r and if u add the same horse power that the new viper would run circles around the 650r.


but they do hate american cars :D

WTF the New Coupe isn't out yet unless you are talking the Competition Coupe Race car which is obviously better than anything fucking Hennesey can make.

i'm guessing they'll harp about the cheap plastics, primitive mechanics and bad fuel economy.

an S7 review would kick ass! as far as the new stang... they would be all nit picky all over the entire car... save the engine i think. "live rear axel? whats that for?"

I think they would be happy with the interior though. Its one of the better american ones. I think when the new cobra comes out they will review it, and be suprised.

Well Viper fans Ive heard some bad news....I heard they tested it in the rain :shock: :shock: :shock: I hate it when they do that. Im sure ole pumkinhead JC will really get on it now...Im sure there was many spin outs.I dont know the actual time but word is that its better then 1.29 in the wet..Cant wait for the episode to be hosted on Sleepfish...

From what I've read, they won't be getting the GT. So if they did test the new Mustang, it would be the V6. So, they'll obviously complain about the lack of power.
Have they ever gotten the Cobra?

I drove the V6 mustang and the power is fairly decent, S7 would be incredible, I think that he will love the viper.

yea in the rain it makes 128.8, i think is so slowly, the bmw m 3 makes 128.0

but whatever , this car is so great, nice , the vipers alwas are in my favorites

well.... it ran 1.28.5 sec.... thats a calc. dry run of 1.24.5 is'nt it? don't they usually calculate 4 seconds slower in the rain? Concidering the Zonda ran 1.23.8

Put it in perspective....The M3 CSL has way less power and tq than the Viper so it was able to use most of its power on that wet lap....500hp, 525 torque is not easy to drive on dry much less extremely wet track. The fact he was able to get so close to the M3's time is incredible..The Stig is the man...I cant believe he was able to drive it so well considering its "bad handling" according to Pumpkinhead :lol:....Its always been said the Viper is not a car for the feeble of driving skill...In the hands of a pro it will run with the some of the best...Oh and by the way its a convertable :shock: :shock: ...The Coupe will be faster...yikes.
