I saw an article last year on "tuner" supercars... like a hennsey viper or something like that.. it was the fastest top end I think but still was under 200. Maybe the gearing was changed?
Anyway... I stand by my Z06 as the best suprecar dollar for dollar. Nothing under $100K can hold it's jock strap except the Viper... which is one of the only cars that can make a case against the Z06... especially the new Viper coming out soon. Maybe that's the "stock Viper" you meant??? It's supposed to be badasss.....
hey... I never said they were cheap.. just a bargain. I know what they cost though... I spend my day hanging out at car lots.. literally :) I take care of about 40 dealers in Iowa, doing glass repair work etc...

The Viper is a nice car, but couldn't holds its own compared to a Z06. Especially the SS Z06 thats supposed to be due out late this year. 600HP :D The Corvette is just in a league of its own. Besides, top speed doesn't mean $h!t. It's how fast you can get there. Honestly, when was the last time somebody was doing 190mph on the racetrack. Certainly not on the dragstrip, and for damn sure not on a roadcourse. The LS series of motors is FAR superior. The LS7 is making 500HP with only 8 cylinders, yet the Viper's engine takes 10 to make 505. :p
