Thanks for the link. Im a big fan of the Viper, but its not in the same class as the Shelby as discussed in a different thread. Its in the same category as a Z06 and Ford GT. That said, I would hate to come door handle to door handle with one at a stop light or try to chase it up an on ramp. On the other hand, If Im taking my nephews out for a ride, one of them would have to ride in the trunk of a Viper. :headspin:

 

If I was stupid rich, I would definately buy one of these, but Im not(yet), so if I got to choose, for me its a Shelby! :happy feet:

I read (or heard)somewhere this will come in an automatic transmission and still be capable of 600HP...........I know its probably not true but if it is, why can't ford cmoe up with a beefer trans, for automatics?

 

My guess would be cost. In a Viper you have more "wiggle room" on cost....an expensive auto trans would be a lower % of overall price.

Wonder if they addressed any of the ride quality...because it sucks!

 

 

 

:hysterical2: ...........and the heat issue, and the fact that its a Chryco and at 10,000 miles it will ride like it has 150,000 miles............because it's a Chryco

 

note the Shelby brakes and transmission!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

:hysterical:
