KingCobra666 Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 I know this is the GT500 Forum but some you might find this interesting. Here is the Link. http://www.allpar.com/cars/viper/2008-dodge-viper.html 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. 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: KC666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUFDRAFT Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 I like the coupe. The interior is far too monochromatic. Ugh. No wood? No chrome? One color plastic? Might be a deal breaker. Needs more h.p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
