The Vette, simply because Hennessey doesn't know shit about working on cars and screws people over. However, a properly modded Viper has my vote.

there's a good write up about hennessey in the issue of of road & track (?) that i mentioned...
and they talked about his "sketchiness" and what not... i'll see if i can find it and throw it up in here... it posts him in a fair light, not just the usual "he screws people over"... they talked to him, as they knew about the issues, and he gave his side, so it's a more even argument at least... |

Brads Comments on the Vette vs. Viper
It seems like you know how to read the g-ratings of the viper and vette but thats about it. Your comment "anyone can make a car go fast in a 1/4 mile is rediculous. How fast is your car in the quarter mile? and if it was as simple as gears he wouldnt be posting a mph of over 150. Stick to reading the magazines not analyzing Hi performance genious like lingenfelter. also lingenfelter gives a 2 year 24000 mile warranty on his twin turbo setups. So if it only goes to 10k miles as you say, which I feel pretty confident you dont own one, send it back. Also anyone who has built a car with more than 500 or 600 horsepower they know its not supposed to be reliable. its high performance. Have a nice day everyone.

JMS must know brad
JMS do you know brad, you talk the same.
First of all Lingenfelter has won the super tuner award more times than I can count. If you remember last years supertuner shootout. Yeah I do neither the hennessy viper or the other viper could even finish the competition. I am simply saying read the facts. 9 out of 10 times a lingenfelter setup will smack the shit out of any hennessy setup you can compare whatever numbers you want or make whatever arguments you want but history tells the tail. Lingenfelters vette stomped the AWD Twin turbo porche. I know it sucks but just admit it. Lingenfelter has better setups. you may like mopar shit that is fine. but at least admit the facts. have a nice day. |

I don't get why people think that the Viper can't handle. As for Motor Trend, they have a bias against Chrysler and always have. They hardly have any good articles on Mopars. And any magazine that would give the Chevy Avalanche the truck of the year over the new Ram last year is STUPID. If you're going to be a magazine ricer, you should at least get a better magazine. |

simple fact is that the hennessy and lingenfelter cost the same, but can't compete. the vette is better. end of story... Quote:
you think that the viper motor really sat, without being rebuilt b/n races? naive... there's also a statement about the viper being faster stock than a vette... and? your point is? it cost about 30-40k more than a zo6, has about 100 more hp, it's only a couple tenths faster, doesn't handle as well as the vette, and you're touting that as it being better than a zo6? that almost makes sense... |

BTW, have you seen dyno graphs of a Viper, have you seen how flat it's torqe curves are and hp, you can hardly call them curves, no other car out there thas power like that.
