hmmm..does the viper in question look more like the first picture in styling, or the second? and if it looks like the second, hard top or roadster?

I got 12 seconds from Motor Trend. In the November issue they ran a 12.2 and in the December issue they ran a 12.0, this was in the coupe idk if they have a 06 roadster or not.

 

it looks more like the 2nd one and its a convertable. (roadster)

 

ok..so its a bit older. stock, that style should be good (with a good driver) for the high 11s...they should average (capable driver) very low 12s...

 

Youre on heroin. That viper will DESTROY that GT in every sort of competition. Go drive a SRT-10, and then go drive an even HEAVILY modded or supercharged GT. There is no comparison. The torque that 505 puts out is amazing. My friend Stuart, before he did all his FI mods, ran an 11.9 in the quarter. And that was his FIRST time ever at the drag strip. Granted hes been driving at VIR for years. From a roll, its a no contest. My car traps about 117 in the quarter off the bottle, similar to the viper, and the viper still takes me easily from a roll.

Werd. The pre 97 vipers werent all that impressive compared to the newer ones. Still, go drive/ride in a viper and tell me they wouldnt take a GT. It doesnt matter what magazines say, real world experience aka having your *** sucked in the back of your seat is what counts. Ive never been in a stock car that had any near the torque curve of those cars. of course, they should, with a damn V10.

 

they didnt come in convertibles with that body style. 2003 was the first year of the tru convertible. the closest you got to a convertible in the 93-2002 was a targa.

 

i think thats why he put "roadster" next to it...

 

Hey smartass, are BMW "roadsters" convertibles? Are 350z "roadsters" convertibles? YES. A roadster is a convertible. Are corvette targas called "roadsters"? Are viper targas called roadsters? No. Theyre called targas for a reason, because they arent a coupe, and they arent a convertible, they are a targa.
