Which do you like better?
The 2003 DoWhich is a better car??
dge Viper SRT-10 Price: $79,995 Miles Per Gallon: 10/20 mpg Curb Weight: 3380 lbs Layout: Front-Engine/RWD Transmission: 6-Speed Manual Engine Type: V10 Displacement: 8277 cc Horsepower: 500 bhp @ 5600 rpm Torque: 525 lb-ft @ 4600 rpm Redline: 6000 rpm Performance 0-60 mph: 3.8 sec 0-100 mph: 8.9 sec Quarter Mile: 11.9 sec @ 121 mph Skidpad: 1.15g Top Speed: 190+ mph Braking, 60-0 mph: under 100 ft Slalom Speed: 70.0 mph Or the 2003 Ford Mustang Cobra General Information Price: $34,995 Miles Per Gallon: 16/24 mpg Curb Weight: 3738 lbs Layout: Front-Engine/RWD Transmission: 6-Speed Manual Engine Type: Supercharged V8 Displacement: 4601 cc Horsepower: 390 bhp @ 6000 rpm Torque: 390 lb-ft @ 3500 rpm Redline: 6500 rpm Performance 0-60 mph: 4.5 sec 0-100 mph: 10.4 sec Quarter Mile: 12.9 sec @ 111 mph Skidpad: .90g Top Speed: 155 mph (limited) Braking, 60-0 mph: 182 ft Slalom Speed: --.- mph I got sick of a stupid non-sense fan boy saying one is better than the other, when OBVIOUSLY, stock, you know which one is the better one, at least I hope. I mean they both get around the same mileage, yet one engine is nearly twice the size. one pulls way more G, one is faster in acceleration, from 0-60 and from 60-0. And for those of you saying the Viper can't corner, takin directly from Car And Driver........ The levels of grip are nothing short of awesome. Even pushing the car hard around the artifical curves inside the avenues of cones, the Viper would cling well beyond the expectations most people have of available grip, and when it did start to relinquish it's resolute grasp of the line, the transition seemed gradual and easy to read. 1.15 G versus .90 g??, not much to think about there. I'll let you make the decision, I'm not voting, but my vote would easily go for the Viper hands down, although the Mustang is a nice car, the Viper outpeforms it in every category.

Ahaha, I love that.
No question I would take the Viper. Ford has to supercharge their engines to get any power out of them. Dodge can at least get A LOT of power out of their N/A engines, go and put a turbo or super on them, can you say adding insult to injury? Sure the Viper costs more, but you get what you pay for, besides, the Viper looks oh so damn sexy!!

Why bother comparing? Everyone knows the Viper is the best, although the Mustang gets some pretty good stats, but it looks shit.

Did you folks know that they halted production on the Cobra Mustangs? From what I hear the they were losing bottom ends on the engines... this also impacts the development for the GT (previously known as the GT-40).
This is far from an apples to apples comparison. The biggest differences that you will find, aren't in the magazines. It's when you get behind the wheel of these two cars that you realize that there are mountains of differences. Case in point, I hang out with a bunch of Z06 owners out here. We go to the dyno together to have fun and talk cars. These folks have some very nice Vettes that have been modified quite a bit. When Vettes get into their 4th gear, they top out at 140 to 145 mph. When my bone stock GTS gets on the dyno, my 4th gear pull tops out at 162 to 167 mph. It blows those Vette guys out of the water because they don't realize how fast the Viper is capable of going. Reality is that it is all about torque. Nothing from the factory touches a Viper. The difficulty in driving a Viper is understanding how huge torque narrows your margin for error on any kind of track. In other words, it's very easy to make a mistake and screw the pooch. JMO. Brad

let consider what were workin with here:
$80k Viper $35k Mustang then thorw in $25k in extra goodies for the mustang, and you have a car that can whip the s*it outta that Viper. But stock, the Viper is by far better performance, but not neccicarily(sp) value.
