Lingenfelter Corvette vs. Hennessey Viper

I love these two cars. But which one do you guy believe is better. They both are around the same price of 160,000 U.S. dollars, have insane acceleration and have a very high top speed. I guess it's a matter of opinion?

Corvette, cause I have never been a Viper fan. But then again that is my personal opinion.

the corvette is already faster, it ran a 9.24 @ 150 in an MT test, while it was on slicks, i don't believe the 800TTs 60's and 1/8 were THAT terrible. more then a set of slicks would be able to help. the corvettes also handle better stock to stock, better braking and faster turn in, if only slightly. also with hennessey's reputation, i'm starting to believe more and more his dyno charts are doctored, but i've no proof so it's just hearsay.

I say the Vette is better, the specs are close but I say the Vette looks better.

The Corvete is faster and the Viper looks better, but I want to see track times and not drag strip times. Until then, I rather have a Porsche Gemballa 911 600 GTR.

In my mind there is no comparison, the vette looks better IMO and its a faster than the viper. knowing hennessey's reputation there are probably only 2 customers that have gotten thier cars.
Vette all the way.

The Viper did it's tests on Street Legal Slicks and I'm pretty sure the Vette's weren't Street Legal and and the Vipers engine, they never changed anything to it except for the mods, the Lingenfelter is a 7.0 liter V-8 TT, where did they get that 7.0 Litre at??? it didn't come stock in the corvettes engine, they never bumped the litres up on the Viper's Engine, so it must not be a Corvette engine under there. If they would have left the 5.7 under there i bet the Vette wouldn't be as good as it is. or leave the vette with it's, well i guess it wasn't the vette's engine but how bout ya bump the viper up 1.3 litres so ya have a 9.3 litre engine and then put the twin turbos on it and see who goes quicker.

They were street legal slicks. The same Mickey Thompson D.O.T. "Cheater Slicks" that the Hennessey Viper used. It is an LS1 Corvette engine, but bored to 7.0 litres. That's still nothing compared to the 8.0 litre engine that the Viper has stock.

They both cost the same so what does it matter what kind of work they did to achieve their results. So the Viper didn't bore its block and add twin turbos, how is that an excuse for it performing worse? I hate when people make up excuses just because they are a fanboy of a certain car.

they never did any boring out of the corvette engine, they put a custom engine in it and took the 5.7 litre out, the viper kept it's own engine in there. Compare the Lingenfelter to the SVS Stryker Twin Turbo and see who is better than. and i'll bet that the Viper beat the Vette on a road course anytime.
