[Shrub32]

1 million us?? i had no idea they were that expensive

[ron]

vipers starts from AUD$125k's second hand fot RT/10's

or you could spend $90k's for a 98 vette already converted with around 300KW

i would like one too.

They look unreal.. BUT the money for one doesn't.

Hangon 152mph.. Isn't that the terminal speed of Try09's?!?!

I'll have to have a look i remember reading a car somewhere in the 8-9sec had a mph of 152mph.

what a waste of time that car would be! a normal viper is so unbalanced it would wheel spin and understeer without 2 much trouble!  

Having that car would be like being stuck on an tropical island with 100 supermodels but u were gay!! :lol:

Well, look how the viper went in nations cup last year - unlike both the porsche and the ferrari it is not a factory race special, but still managed to finish season in third. In fact, they reakon they ran the car for the season for under 250k - dirt cheap to be so competitive in top level racing. Makes me think they're not duds.

I'd take that car instead of the tropical island.

.. and 911 Turbos are $300k new.

Pretty good bang for your buck though, cos they do 4s 0-100 stock.

No mate 152mph is quicker than TRY09's!

A 152mph TS shows the car is good for 8's with slicks & a good 60ft.

Now take another look @ how "streetable" this car is! Sure the power is not exactly "streetable" but the car isn't stripped & radically altered from factory. At 3500lbs it's no stripped out "race car with a set of plates".

Did anybody else notice Benjamin Treynor's (the owner) quote, "the rear wheels started spinning on the dyno drum during this pull at 4900 RPM, which is why the torque dips at that point. I don't know how much power it actually makes, only that it's over 1000 RWHP". Benjamin Treynor can be found on various US based car forums (treynor), quite a decent guy.

I love my Skylines but I'm not so one eyed that I can't appreciate a serious bit of gear like this Viper.

What I don't get is how come the Viper costs $160,000 yet in Aus they charge $240,000+ for it ? What $40,000 odd for the conversion ???

Nice car but not worth that kind of money.

A brand spankers 2003 Viper SRT/10 is ~$83k USD, or about $140,000AUD, but that's in the US.

Prices in OZ are OTT for most brands.

The wow/headturning factor of the Viper cannot EVER be matched by the 'line.
