lets get back on track now:
someone made a stupid comment about efficiency, not about which car is better than the best.
Based on engine efficiency, the V-10 natural loses. That was proven a long time ago.
Do not bring up torque and acceleration because yes they are needed yet acceleration does not happen if too much torque is applied and there is no AWD to the least. You will slide on the corner and experience imperfect steer. That was already stated as well.
Japanese and Euro cars can and do make good peak horse power in comparison to American, torque is mostly generated at low to mid RPM, and for many cars Japanese and Euro, they make plenty more torque than horsepower, and within the same low to mid RPM range as an American. The torque can and most likely does match between 6's and 8's. Remember that you can use torque to find horsepower in equation. You also need to push a weight far enough in a faster time.
Sure, with the same amount of money to compete a 6 cyl., lets slap on a supercharger or two to the viper and do a job well done. That would probably be over a hundred thousand american dollars.
An R34 having work done to the same budget or less could make the same or more power than the viper, and yet still be more advanced with it's Electronic torque splitting AWD and four wheel steering.
That's an expected gain of a second every lap for the R34 compared to the RWD Viper.
Remember, reach to acheive as much of 100% or more of an engines POTENTIAL. R34 meets and beats that. The Viper breathes through one and only one nostril. Just say it's inefficient.
Both cars are great and can beat the average jo(k)e on the street. They are STRONG. But I see that many like I hate the new body of the Viper and think it looks better the way it was before.
The movie: wait and watch it. race that car you take pride in. and recieve a ticket. We see nice pics here; some hate some cars, and love the others. After all, the pictures are what this thread is all about. And somebody must have spent a lot of money on those horrible stickers obviously to get your attention, and it works.
Someone chose to speak of inefficiency, not about which car can run over a cow in the worst possible way.
Spade. V-10 natural is inefficient.
