I liked to see the fire on the door. Obviously Id be really pieced if I owned that car and the fire caused the paint to get messed up, but since that wasnt my car, its cool.

car and driver cooked eggs on the hood.........Jeremy should have made an omlet on the exhaust

He probably could of made more than just an omlet, more like a steak with the amount of flames that were from the exhaust. :lol:

You should also remember that they abuesd the car to point of destruction.

As is well known, JC encourages and particpates in actually destroying the cars they test.

What a fuzzy haired tool.

He may crack some ok jokes - but overall I am beginning to dislike the silly buffoon.. :P

I knew a guy back home that had a viper, and he told us he wished he had bought a 911 instead. Said the viper was just a pain when you wernt standing on it.

yeah, pretty much..a viper is a waste of money IMO, as far as American cars go a Z06 is a much better car than the viper for less money..and as far as cars go period..I don't know why anyone would by a viper, unless they had a ridiculous amount of money and just wanted to buy one for the hell of it..

[Guibo]

That's amazing that two Euro Vipers have caught fire. Meanwhile, I haven't seen any Vipers tested in America catching on fire (and I have close to a dozen tests, some conducted in the heat of the California desert in 100+ degree heat).

The C&D egg frying thing was only meant as a joke. They also apparently cooked bacon on the hood, but considering the hood is made from SMC/plastic, I find that pretty hard to believe.

[mindgam3]

ooooo some more unrefined american crap ;)

hehe jus kidding, but the viper makes the vette look like god when you compare the two. I honestly cant see who'd buy one except rich men with exceedingly small penis'

[callen]

I would by a viper, but it wouldnt be my first choice for 140 grand CAN. i guess it would maybe be down the line around 15th or so , id by an M3, Z06, M5, Lotus elise, etc u get the picture.. Way before i would buy a viper, but it would be nice to have in a 20 car garage :mrgreen: :lol:

[Guibo]

Some people like its looks. Some people like the fact that it israw, and rather un-PC in this sanitized world. It also makes for a great platform for hotrodding: for relatively small outlay, you have a car that can hang with some of the fastest cars out there. And there's no denying its exclusivity.
But I personally wouldn't want to fork over $80K for a new one. I'd rather pick up the old GTS/ACR for much less.

And cooking bacon on top of the hood is quite a bit different from cooking an egg under it. :)

I am with you buddy. A 911 will be first on my list, I just love the sound of the H6 engine.

[gobs3z]

I personally just like the fact that it has 8.3L. Thats old big block fun!! Drag racing is it's specialty with massive amounts of torque. It's a muscle car and not an exotic German or Italian engineering marvle. It's that idea that muscle beats engineering. Very simple i guess.

[bmwmpower]

Its american muscle car- nothing more, nothing less,

[mk2 fan]

JC is really some sort of pervert Very Happy He hails the car that goes like it is drunk and starts a fire by itself

why the hell does liking the viper make you a pervert ??



i liked the name writing part in the video. kewl.

this obviously didnt happen, all the lines on the vorners were way to staight, if you were spinning round like that then the ines would get closer together not stay at the same width every time.

Overall i like the new viper, i think that it looks great and has got the sort of thing that you want in a car,

Yeah, it does seem that the Z06 offers more for less cash. The viper is a lot of $$$ for something so completely unsophisticated.

[adamk24]

Considering how amazingly fast the new Z06 is gunna be (according to my information) and not be much more expensive than a base model, like an $9k option, I can only see a few reasons for people to buy a viper.
That said, I love the new SRT-10. It looks great, goes like stink, and sounds even better. However, for the money, I cant really say its a good package.

Hello all

New to the forums and this topic holds a special place in my heart because I thought that the viper test was one of the funniest Top Gear segments I have ever seen.
I found Clarkson's summary of the Viper to be pretty spot-on...Total handful with many of the little flaws that American mass-manufacturers have become known for, but a car whose purpose is clear and a car that works perfectly for its purpose - to put a stupid grin on your face and kill your rear tires.
Personally - I loved it.

[OVERLORD_CHRIS]

It was pretty damn funny lol

[bmwmpower]

yes, i like the video, too,
