The 2003 Viper is kinda ugly, it is smaller and looks like an old Corvette to me. Dreamshake - lpbman is talking about a stock cobra vs a stock vette. 390 (4.7 0-60) versus 345hp ( low 5's 0-60 ).
Why wouldnt you compare the two. They are built to battle each other. They have almost the same criteria. Horses are near the same and torque is all but the same. But if we must. Corvette coupe: 350 Horses. 375 lb/ft tourqe Best 0-60 mph:.............................................4.6 sec Best 1/4 mile: ...............................................13.22/109 mph Best 60-0 mph braking:................................125 feet EPA fuel economy rating: ..........................19 city/28 hwy Top Speed..................................................175 mph Faster 0-60 time, slower quarter mile, faster top end. From a car that 40 less horses, and considerable less torque.
i saw a girl on west gray near montrose driving like a 2000 or 01 or 02 Mustang GT. It sounded kind of funny or something. Ususally when i see girls in Mustangs, it's just plain ol Mustangs. A chick car is a freaking Miata. What's funny is when i see guys driving Miatas. I love it when they having their suits on talking on the phone like it's all important. Next time you see a Guy in a Miata, tell him he looks like a dufous for driving a Miata. A Honda Prelude is not a chick car. And a Honda S2000 is pretty nice. It better not turn to a girl car. An S2000 parked next to me in vietnam town near Travis and Milam or Tuam, one of them roads. That was nice. Charcoal, with red exterior. I was eating noodles in a restaurant in that area. I was siting next to the window. I'm looking the cars go by. I see a Camry. I see a mazda minivan. I see an explorer. All of a sudden I see a big ass catapiller construction tool thing driving around. I thought that was funny.
How did the Cobra eek out the win? The regular Vette has a quicker 0-60 time A very close quarter mile time at the same speed A faster overall speed Better Gas milage Better Braking Pulls more lateral G's All this with 40 less horsepower, and considerably less torque And is Only about 5 K more. Not 5-10 K more Sports and Cars, what else is there? And what crack are you guys smoking? A viper looks good no matter what. Its a sin to call any Viper Ugly. Id seriously cut a pinky toe off to own one.
yes Stock it's darn close but for 100 bucks more you change the blower pulley and wham zo6 eater the stock cobra's only running 8lbs of boost
I meant "eek out the win" in a race. Just depends on the driver. I beat a 1998 vetter several times in my 2000 SS. As far as value it is anyone's call. Cobra will probably have cheaper insurance than a vette, and later on the replacement parts will probably be cheaper too. If 5k isn't much to you, then why not just get the z06 and forget about it?
