Viper Venom 550
me and my friend were driving down the highway late yesterday afternoon in his 2001 Mustang GT and up ahead we spotted a Viper, we were like whoa because those cars aren't very abundant around here so we sped up to get a closer view, but it gets better, on the back there is a Venom 550 badge, and to top it off there was a kid driving, couldn't have been more than 18 or 19 years old... does anybody know how much those cars go for and some stats how much faster they are and all that... just curious

That was daddy's car! no kid has $130,000 to spend on a car. This guy I know that, owns his own exotic car transport co. here in Jax.,had a 650R bright yellow. He didn't own it he was transporting it. He took me for a ride in the neighborhood, I have never felt that much pull in a car in my life, and the sound! All I have to say is 0-60 3.2 sec.!

Hmm I haven't seen many Vipers here in Plano. And then mainly on dealership lots. They cost around $75,000, if I had that kind of money I'd go with NSX. It's slower, but much more pleasant for regular driving.
Viper Venom runs close to 3.5 There is one called Dodge Hennessey Viper Venom 800TT wich runs 2.7 after $55,000 in engine mods  . It also covers 1/4 mile in less than 10 seconds. Could come in handy when you can't be late for work.

Well I read an article on the 650R, and they said the price as tested was $167,000. It all depends on where you get your info. Yeah, I saw the Motor Trend mag. with the orange TT Viper. The 850 is the king!

only problem is they couldnt get any trax i mean come on 700+ hp and like 800+ lb ft of torque in a car that ways what like 3000 lbs and your fastest time is a 9.99 i mean come on thats sad i saw a guy where i live with a s/c viper he said it cost him less than 25 k and most was for the s/c and hes running consistent 9.3s on streets with no air pressure with a best of 8.62 @ 162 mph on slicks have fun spending needless thousands on your viper

i went to a drag event on sunday and there was a Viper Venom 550 there. lets just say it was getting comfortably thrashed by the tuned Jap cars. Maybe the driver was useless, but it wasnt much faster than the 2 bog standard GTS's that were there. when i get the full time sheet for the event ill post the Viper's times.

Hennessey Motorsports is one of the most shittiest companies on planet earth. If anybody knows anything about dealing with their company, will agree with me.
In short, many people give them thousands and thousands of dollars and dont get shit in return.

well judging by the Venom's performance on Sunday i do agree with you. i wouldnt go near anything Hennessey got his grubby little hands on.

3.2 sec 0-60, thats it! The lingenfelter 427 twin turbo does sub 2 sec 0-60 runs! Thats right 0-60 in less than 2 seconds and its a daily driver!
Ofcourse im not saying 0-60 in 3.2 is slow just thought an 8 liter twin turbo could do better.
