Yeah, I used to hate vipers...but the more I think about them the more I like 'em.

I hate GTS's and new RT/10's (probly cause everybody that knows absolutely nothing about cars likes them, same with Hummers). Those older RT/10 with the smooth (unvented) hood, 3 spokers (which I don't usually like...), and the black side pipes are FINALLY starting to grow on me...

Yeah, I've seen a viper or two, a few new boxters, and two z3's. Not many, but I'm hoping I'll see a few more once the weather gets nice. Winter sucks for car spotting.

I think the 3 spoke rims look stpuid, and the side pipes are alright but I like the rear pipes better and the hood I think looks like the car has more power with the vents. Also hummers a re awesome, I mean what non modified truck has 16 inches of ground clearance, and go up 45 degree inclines and looks so tough?

A modified Toyota Landcruiser with 35 inch tires and a 6 foot brush guard on the front, raised to like 20 inches of clearance. It has been done for an expedition to Antarctica. Watch it on TLC. These used the brush guards to clear Crevices and I stongly think that they could go up 45 degree inclines. Another contestant would be a raised Land Rover I guess, they can manouever over steeper inclines also I think. God ,I hope that was't a retorical question.

BTw, the 3 spoke Viper rims look like plastic, take the 18 inch BBS's on the ACR!

A stock Land Rover Defender 90 will get you out of most situations Hummers can't even get into, mostly 'cause of its 90 inch wheelbase, huge ground clearance, short overhangs, and entrance angles.

Good job sway!

I love Unimogs...they'd take on a Defender 90...6 forward speeds, 4 reverse speeds

I saw a G Wagon a couple days ago But I think if you put a stock hummer up against a stock defender 90 the hummer would come out on top.

I dunno..........

The Defender's main advantage is it's small size.

I guess we'll just have to arrange a test drive in each to find out

In Tombraider the movie, Angelina Jolie drives the new defender. It's in a mag somewhere it looks pretty cool. BTw, Unimogs are one of the best Benzs ever, I'd love to drive one in the Paris-Dakar.
