Your FD was marvelized though, bolt-on hardly describes that beautiful yet very depressing car

haha was just talking to my friend about how over rated vipers are, they weigh a ton, and there quarter mile isn't that impressive. Although i think the new viper improved its quatermile by a second or so? Am i right?

EDIT : The 97 GTS 1/4 mile was 12.2 The 2004 RT-10 is 11.6 i think.

Whats not impressive about a 12.2 stock? And now a 11.6 stock? Pretty impressive to me. A lot of cars run race gas, advance timing, and need to run 20+ psi to get times that low.

Noone on Earth can handle a Viper for real though, they're wild.

no, im not saying that isn't impressive, dont get me wrong thats fast. But for the 100,000$ price tag, you could spend that on an rx-7 and get faster then that. Get some huge ass turbos. :P

I remember as a kid seeing them and oohing and awwwing, now i see one like everyday, i dont even pay attention to them anymore :\ Thats my view on them though. RX-7s look better in my view as well
