But is does make it funnier. We are talking about an American car with a V-10, that was originally developed with the help of Lamborghini, that is now owned by the same company that owns Ferrari. In between all of this they also had a fling with the Germans.

I found this little gem...

"Update: Supercharged V10’s have been delivered to Chrysler, 770HP Viper coming"

LINK

"Can we expect a 750, or 800 HP 2016 Viper? The Viper already has the suspension and handling down. As it stands, the Viper T/A is the fastest production car to ever go around Laguna Seca. That includes the Ferrari 458. The Aventador. The Mp4-12c."

I used to work with a guy that said the best part about a Corvette was that it was a 2 seater, so no chick's fat friend could jump in with her and cock block you


"Corvette gets 'en wet".

That was told to me by a very cute six months' pregnant maid at a hotel parking garage when I was getting my car from the valet.

My point exactly. Can't believe people spend that kind of money on a Dodge/Fiat.

If you like driving above all else, the GTR is the best car in the world. The only one that comes close is the Lexus LFA, but it costs $300,000 more than the GTR.

So an automatic, AWD car is some sort of "Ultimate driving" experience? You dumb.

To some people it is.

To others, power steering is the devil.


You dumb.

Girl I knew was housesitting for a guy that had a Viper and she got to drive it (this was one of the early models). It always had some mechanical issue.

I guess that's why the top three hyperhybrid cars are RWD..

Honestly outside Rally nobody favors an AWD. They're neat, but there'a always a RWD car nearby to hand you your arse..

I would say that probably has more to do with weight. AWD systems are pretty heavy.
