Lutz has now officially turned the Viper into a Garter Snake as he had promised....

BTW, yes the SRT10 does out brake the GT and every other production car from 60-0.....The only car that beat it in a braking test was the Enzo but that a 70-0 test....The Enzo took 153 ft to the Vipers 156 ft.....Not bad for the Viper...No fancy ceramics like Ferrari or Porsche but can brake with the best of em.....

On a roadcourse the GT would no doubt spank the SRT10 with ease...But it ought to at more than double the price....No need to bash the SRT10..Its an incredible car....Imagine if all those cubes were blown like the GT.....Quite a few street Vipers with SC's that are in the 800-1000RWHP range for much less than the GT so dont be too hard on the Vipers.......Somehow I think they'll get by lol....
Bob lutz runs GM, not Ford. Bill Ford is the CEO of Ford.
Doh....Got my quotes mixed up..Lutz is in charge of the Vette...Forgot who said what now....But Im pretty sure somebody at Ford said that the GT is going to turn the Viper into a Garter Snake...Was it Neil Henmann...Some ex Chrysler guy said that.... Used to be on the team that brought the Viper to life...
