to each their own i guess but this is an american car section of the board and there are other places for the ferraris and what. the engine that i posted is not for a le mans car, its for the 1/4 mile. with those intentions they built the right motor to get the job done.

true

factory american cars dont have the best reputaion for quaility and durablity. you couldnt run a viper as long and as hard as you could run an itialian car. vipers dont handle like ferrari's especially the F50 its a damn F1 with a body

F50 SPECS
cant find check out find
on thread[OFFER] TOP GEAR - Formula 1 vs F50(i was asked not to link)

anyway for the money a viper is a better car because you cant buy a ferrari for 100 grand.

lol italian car last longer than american car lol, u gave me a good laugh there lol. Ever heard of the GT-40 and its decendent the Ford GT? or how about the C5-R, or mebe the Z06 which lapped n-ring under 8min. Or the Mosler which can Slolam at 74mph? or the Viper that stops as well as the enzo without Ceramic brakes. You seem to be an open dictionary of fanboy stereotype knowledge.

lol, i try not to be so blunt. but yes. the viper is an extrordinary car. people just don't think so because they can't win the GT races on gran turismo. it doesn't come with anti-lock brakes..why? cause its a street race car and they know what scca drivers like on and off the course.

sure could, but it would have to be built differently. when you put nitrous threw a big money, high powered drag car, there are tons of things you have to change, cams, fuel timing, lots of stuff. i don't think that they are running nitrous because i believe there is a rule saying you can only have one power adder (nitrous, turbo, blower, etc.).
