I am convinced that true car enthusiasts will demand ICE powered sports cars in the future. Yes, they will be slower than the EV equivalents. However, they will be more fun with manual transmissions and ICE power plants and complete the physical and emotional components of driver enjoyment...
Results are in, the thing is mind ****ing bending fast. My brother and I both have had many 700hp+ cars and this car is in a different universe. If acceleration is your party trick, look no further. NOTHING will touch this thing on the street. It’s also concerning that anyone can own this...
There is no question electric cars have and will commoditize acceleration and performance. In the future, people will drive ICE because of its flaws...not because of any performance advantage. The ICE experience will be more about driver emotion and involvement. Banging gears (be it DCT or...
Update: I saw it and gat-damnit :(. They could have done so many different things and actually made a legit movie this time around, but they F’ed it up bad. I prefer the one from the 90’s.
Everything is crazy high right now. Standard Gen V Vipers are selling for $100k. I sold my TA for $115k and like 1 month later it looks like it could sell for $130k. Housing, cars, stocks...everything is in the stratosphere price wise. The pendulum swings both ways. The larger the amplitude in...
Bought this a few months ago and have been tickled pink for the amount of value you get for the $$. So far, it’s been a great truck and drives amazingly.
Very fast, but no theater. The smell, the sound, the pressure shockwaves of a nasty ICE at full tilt...these are all part of the entertainment factor that electric propulsion will never replicate.
I am modded and have never broken this Viper or either of my previous two which were also modded. Hell, my Gen 2 GTS was a stock motor twin turbo car making 900whp and the current owner put more than 15k miles on that setup beyond the 5k I did.
KTM 350 Sxf here, but I use it for trail riding only so never really get above 3rd gear and spend most of my time in 1st or 2nd (tight trails). Absolutely gear up every single time without question. I took a low speed fall 2yrs ago that knocked me out and gave me a concussion that stuck with me...
Former Gen 2 (99 GTS) and IV (09 VOI Coupe) owner, current Gen V (2014 TA) owner here. There is no question the Gen V is the best car in terms of being an actual car. It marries all the rawness and charm of the Gen 2 with the modern expectations/amenities of vehicle ownership. Best Viper...
Randomly caught up with my brother on the highway in his 2013 intake/header(catless)/tune Boss 302. My car has the same bolt ons with an exhaust. We got a hit from 40 to 150 that ended in a dead damn heat. Give the videographer a bit of a break, she hasn’t been dating my brother very long so...
