I can see your point but for mere 53K not 89K I can still do 168MPH, then
modified it for additional 25K. Stoplight to stoplight is not much of a
difference on the Viper versus the Saleen Stang. But the new one, well,
that is heart throbbing, love thrilled looked with the power to boot. No!
I talking about the 92-00 version. Not the beta vehicle soon-to-be.

Subject: Re: DML: HEHEHEHEHEH!!! THIS IS GREAT!!!!!RE: The New Viper...?
Which Viper are you talking about. I have to assume that since this started
with
the pics of the new GTS/R, you are referring to it. It would eat that POS
Ford
for lunch, as would just about any other Viper. It has 500 hp not 410.
Highway
gears? Current GTS Vipers do like 170+ mph. That's hardly stoplight gearing.
I'm
sure the new one will be even faster, bottom and top end. I'm not really
sure of
your point, and I don't mean to sound like I'm flaming you, but my money
would
be on the Viper.
