vipers are whatever. ok a ton of torque delivered pretty low in the powerband, that's the main appeal, but for as much displacement in that v10, it's actually quite an engineering joke. if you want to know where all the drivetrain efficiency goes, it's lost as heat, noise and vibration. and what about the price tag? you're paying 15k more than a vette for the emblem and higher maintenance costs basically. what i find especially disappointing about the viper is how little it's been improved in the last decade. a face lift and new motor that's worse than what it replaced. great. but viper owners don't really give a about value or efficiency, they're all about revving at lights and taking off on mustangs just to get noticed.
i'll stick with the corvette, which is the fastest sports car for the money whether you're talking about the 49k base model or the 107k big mama. and they continue to do it with a good ole pushrod v8 and leaf springs! i haven't even began on the z06 or the new zr1 either. talk about some serious balls to the wall bang for the buck. no one makes an aluminum-framed composite-bodied sports car that performs as well across the board and pushes the envelope in every iteration while remaining essentially the same price like the corvette does. $107k buys you a 3300 pound car with 638 hp and 604 ft/lb torque, a top speed of 205 mph, 1.06 lateral gs of cornering grip, 60-0 in 96 ft and 0-60 in close to 3 flat with a low 11 qm. and how sexy that it manages all this on 19x10 and 20x12 inch staggered wheels placed around massive carbon-ceramic brakes.
i'll say again, the best thing that ever came out of detroit...
a viper :p

no i already have a job. you made the claim therefore the preponderance of evidence is upon you. but wait, you obviously don't know a damn thing about the corvette otherwise you would have something to say about it. clearly what has transpired here is that an imbecile such as yourself made a sweeping generalization based on extremely limited first-hand knowledge and when challenged to expound upon such a broad statement, you've folded like a paper tiger. thank you for making this about as easy as possible for me. you may now return to jacking off to poster cars that you will never own.
I can see how you could make that assessment, but in reality I have no desire to argue with such an obvious Corvette fanboy who will never see the light. My issue with American cars is not so much their actual physicalities as the ethos behind the design, manifacture and operation of them. These are ethos that permeate nearly all aspects of American society in general and that people situated within said culture will forever fail to appreciate the mediocrity and crassness of.

more nebulous generalizations in place of an actual specific fault against the corvette. thanks for your utter waste of a post. i'm not talking about all american cars, i'm talking about the chevrolet corvette. a car you have absolutely no knowledge or first-hand experience with. like listening to a virgin talk about how lame sex is :stongue:

i merely said the corvette was better than the mustang, i wasn't even talking to you, and yet you confidently interjected with the assertion that the corvette is a car. just tell me what about the corvette's engineering design or function makes it ? can you even answer such a simple question?

I almost bought my buddies X, looks very similar to this one:
I am glad i didn't though, i would put off school even longer :(

just to drive the point home, i just found this vid on youtube...

Looks cool. We don't get too many Yank cars in Australia, other than the folks trying to be show-ponies.
Aside from the Corvette, what are the other good American cars? I don't know much about them, other than (internationally) they're regarded as rubbish.

imo the vette is the only modern sports car america can really brag about. i don't even really like american cars other than 60's era classics, but the corvette is in a class of its own. i mean there's the ford gt of course, and the viper, but neither are as impeccable as the c5/c6 generation z06 and zr1 corvettes.
