Too bad the Viper will walk all over the Skyline and Vette and only cost
about $70000. The vette is just a "you get what you pay for" car. $45000 =
a step under the viper in performance and style. Plus everyone and their
brother already has a vette so it's like driving an escort....you see em
everywhere.....gets kinda boring after a while!!!

The Nissan Skyline GTR (R34) will do the 1/4 mile in 13.3 @ 103.7 and has
all wheel drive. But it does cost $89,000.
Dak content:
Has anybody running a MSD with an Accel coil and the MSD wiring harness
had a problem with the connection to the coil? I can't get mine to snap
into place and it keeps coming loose. Not a nice thing to happen after
midnight after waiting 3 hours in traffic.

My Vett (stock) will do 12.3 and top off at around 180mph (I personally have
seen 155). There is not a Jap wagon in the world that can pull that off,
expecially doing 85-95mph on a clover on/off-ramp. Vipers kick ass but not
like a Vette and that big GOOFY gas cap on the viper has to go -- go way far
away.
