Speed Six vs. Viper R/T 10
Which would you choose in an all out battle? Road/Track/Highway
TVR Speed Six (360HP) or Dodge Viper R/T 10 (450HP) ?

as a cruiser i would choose the TVR. but for an all out battle. it would have to be the snake. the TVR is not known for handling. the viper is known for monster torque, and monster grip.

Not being familiar with Speed Six - I'll go with the Viper. Not to mention that the Viper is a handfull in any comparison.

I am suprised that the comparison was done to the R/T instead of the coup since then it would be with fixed roof vehicles. 0-60 mph: 4.4 sec 0-100 mph: 10.2 sec Max Power: 350bhp @6800 rpm Max Torque: 330 ft lbs @5000 rpm Max Speed: > 170 mph Color me impressed.

To cliam that any TVR dosnt hanlde implies a complete lack of knowledge about the company and the British low production car industry in general.
Every TVR ever made has been known for having great handling, and the Speed 6 is no excpetion. When mixed with on of the most powerful inline 6 cylinder engines ever made, and the cars extremly light weight it would leave the Viper writhering in the dust. The Speed 6 is a road legal race car, and its only barly road legal, just enough so you can drive it to the track and save on needing a trailer. The Viper is a road car, and very big heavy one.

i saw a top gear video where tiff needle was testing the speed 6. he said that the car was more of a straightline speed demon. when he was testing out its handling, he said that the steering is very sharp, you point the car in any direction, the front just goes and the rear hopefully follows later. and thats when he said that, that car wasn't known for handling, its more of a straight line speed demon.

By European standards for a low production sports car its more of a straightline demon, but thats when compared with the likes of Lotus and Ferrari. But its a 1,000lb, or half a ton, or the weight of a Lotus Elise lighter than the Viper, and its built by a company which places and emphasis on handling.

look at all the other cars that Tiff gets to drive...
compared to most ridiculously well handling euro cars, the tvr could be more of a straight line car, but you can't simply say that it doesn't handle b/c he said it's more of a straight liner... he said the steering, per your quote, turns in sharply... i like that in my car. the rear eventually follows the front? at least it's not understeering... and i'm sure it doesn't need 13" wide wheels to accomodate all its power... the viper needs those just to keep traction... and it doesn't always work... |

The Viper RT/10 handles like a pig!! A Viper GTS is another story but an RT/10, it's got wide ass tires and it handles like a Lincoln on bicycle tires.
