I couldn't agree more. The VR4 is a pig, it would definitely be better billed as a super touring car instead of trying to call it a true sports car. I don't actively dislike, so I'm not trying to breed controversy here, nor am I trying to define a "true sports car," I'd just rather have a Supra. Regardless, bottom line is, if you've got the money, a Viper has more performance than most drivers can deal with at all, let alone manage correctly. They have so much torque most people would probably poo their pants under full acceleration in a GTS.

Lastly, referring back to the original post, there's a chance that a Honda Civic really did beat a Viper, but like most everyone said, it wasn't a Civic anymore underneath the body panels. It would have to be effectively 100% rebuilt, because there are few if any stock Honda Civic parts at all that can deal with the kind of torque and hp levels you'd need to smoke a Viper (unless the driver was totally inexperienced).

Street Races don't really show the whole aspect of a car. Yeah the car can be fast in a straight line, but it's all a matter of who's the better driver too.

You can put a moron in a Viper and a good driver in a 1999 Civic Si and he could stomp the Viper. Or reverse the roles and the Viper will stomp the Civic.

To really test the abilities of a car you need to take it on an autocross or road course.

My boi has a frankenstien Civic that eats those cars for lunch.
He is running a 93 hatch no back seat, but full front seats and dash etc.. and still has sound system, takes out subs for races).
He has a b20 block, b16 head, port and polished, a nice turbo (i think it's a T3/4 not 100% sure on that thought), and all the pistons, rods, etc.. to keep it from blowing the heck up. (see www.crvtec.com for build ideas).
His setup puts out over 350+ hp to wheels (with boost up on 93 oct gas). He killed a mustang 5.0 built w/175 shot of nos in the 1/8 mile... 3 times.. i've seen him take all the cars you've named and more.
never underestimate the power of a built hybrid engine w/turbo.
and you are talking money...
$2000 for junked car
$4000 for bodywork and paint
$12k for engine
$1k optional for kit
$1.5k optional for redone insides and car audio

18k total for a car that smokes vette, z28s, cobras, TAs, vipers (note, that these other cars are only modded to some extent, if they were fully modded they would obviously win)

If you haven't see one of these CRVtec turbos in action, just watch and drool

The record (that I last heard of) for a 1/4 mile by a Honda was set by a 5th gen (EG, or is it ED in the States?) Civic Ferio

8.93 @ 166 mph

Backed up the next run with a

8.98 @ 168 mph.

Serious money in that car, though.
