MX6 Tries to race Viper

[DaosBeoulve]

vipers are v12's so....he didnt have a chance no matter what....

What Giblit said. Vipers are 8L 10 cylinder engines (8.X probably, but my mind is on finals...ick).

Dodge used to sell a fricking huge 12 cylinder Viper engine, but it was illegal to have in the car (emissions, etc.). It was a completely side option though, and they wouldn't install it in the car for you...

On a side note, I've always wanted to see who would win on a straight course between a 575 Maranello and a Viper... 'Twould be a really cool race=)

(no curvy tracks, we all know the Ferraris would dominate in the turns...)

what kind of viper, the newest one? C&D said that the newest viper had insane roadhoalding ability, I think it was like above 1 G or something, please correct me if you know the exact value.

lol that was fun to watch... im going to do that someday in my pontiac grand prix~!! YES!!! I WIN

[DaosBeoulve]

Not the newest Ein..

I don't know all that much about the new ones yet. I have also heard that the new ones are supposed to handle very well, but I was basing it on the older models.

I haven't done much reading on the newer models. I haven't had the time... Oh well. Someone that knows want to help us out? =)

mx6 lol

Viper pretty much beat an F16 jet taking off on Rippley's Believe it or not.

I saw that ripleys too... the Viper beat an F-(15? 16? 18? one of the jets) in the 1/4 mile, but lost by about a foot in the 1/2 mile...

As for the imports vs. domestics, I'm a fan of anything that goes fast. If you have to throw tons of money in it, well thats fine. It's like buying a Tippmann Model 98, or an Autococker, then tricking the hell out of it. It may shoot as good as an angel, but the angel guy sure as heck isn't going to admit it! In its stock form, the Model 98 and Honda Civic do exactly what they are supposed to. the 98 shoots just fine, and the civic gets you where you need to go. Throw alot of money into either of them, and watch the rubber and balls fly... its all personal preferance.

Like some of the others said, nothing is unbeatable. Give me enough money and ANY car, and I'll build you something that can do the quarter mile in 3 seconds at Mach 1. But there will ALWAYS be something faster...

That is because the jet started to take off. Once it is in the air obviously it is going to be faster, but if it was just ground to ground race, it could be very close but i still think the Viper would have won it. 400+ horse power =)

hahaha thats funny rice cars most of them are crap but there are some good ones such as Toyota supra and the Nissan Skyline GT-R those are the only 2 i like

[AutoMaggot]

I just beat the piss out of an MX6... it was my friend's 4 cylinder with a short ram intake and some cheezy bolt-on 3A Racing Muffler. The sad part:

I drive an I6 Grand Cherokee.

you dun' like the nsx?

[rhetor22]

I always thought the NSX looked to be much better than it is, and the price tag is just too high.


I never really understood the race against the F-16. How can you expect it to accelerate fast if its just blowing air out the back of it? Take the power that jet engine makes and put it to the wheels, and shibam.

[TransMan]

That vid made me laugh i like RX7's but thats just me.

Yeah the nsx is getting really outdated. But it was quite a car 11 years ago.

Even with the aerodynamic improvements this year increasing the top speed 7 miles per hour, honda needs to dish out a new more powerful nsx.

i just saw some movies of a civic beating a viper and i mean just SMOKED it. killed it. viper didnt even have a chance. i also have a movie of a neon beating a viper by over 3 secons. dont tell me imports are ****ty cars when they can almost beat anything you throw at them.
