What would your next "fun" car be?

[badf250]

Since I already have one of my dream cars here is the another one:

[Gastrader1]

That would be your dream car if you have ever driven one of the deep creatures from the sea.........

[Mitternacht]

Ah, 87 or 88 Countach. It looks like it's in New York too.

If I sell my cobra (which I've been thinking a lot about lately because of some big commitments I'm going to be taking on pretty soon), its because I won't have time for it... so I'd probably get a nice mix of fast/fun and practical for a daily. Some type of AWD fart cart (STI & R32 come to mind, STI for fun, R32 for how nice it is). I know how you feel about STIs Ryan LOL don't worry!!

But if I'm going to sell it for a car that's just for fun.... the Viper has always held a warm spot in my heart :)

edit: I've also thought about a c6z and a porsche 996 turbo when I was in this position earlier. While never driving any of them, I would want the viper. Don't like that vettes seem like old man cars, the repair bills on the turbo make me want to stay the f away (and the exhaust note is even weirder than the vipers IMO)

yes, sell the cobra, but only if you will get another toy. I know about the commitments youve got coming up, its just up to you to decide if you wanna keep it on the back burner till you get everything finished up.


give me a ring later if you want

yea I keep thinking that its a bad idea to sell and a bad idea to keep. looks like i'm shit outta luck. i can see it both ways though

[firsttime5.0]

i dont own a cobra in order to say im gonna or would sell mine, although i did see a wild build done on tv taking a mazda miata( yes i know its a chick car) and dropping a built small block in it.. now i am not saying i would attempt this but for a sleeper that will smoke alot of the cars on the road it would be neat to have .... but i would love to sell my gt to upgrade to a cobra or super snake.....

BO on the viper and c6z i can tell you this much if you want any sort of comfort dont get the viper and the c6z will easily keep up with a new viper

[Martin0660]

I must be nuts, the next "fun" car for me will be a box top Fairmont with a blow through carb 2.3 on methanol. That or a Pinto wagon ;) Dare to dream big I say :D

Who cares about comfort! Maybe an 08 viper coupe one day for me... One day far far away :(

I just feel cramped in the viper and yet i never drove a z06, the c6 would probably keep up to a viper around the track too, but man i sure did love driving that viper srt-10.. Def do the SRT driving experience before you make your mind up on an 80k car

A normal C6 is no where near a Viper, the ZR1 is, but then there is the Viper ACR which was faster around the nurburgring.

i didnt say the viper acr, and in the handling department they are pretty close.

Viper srt-10 did skid test in 1g, 0-60 is 3.5, top speed 202mph brake 70-0 in 150ft, pricing starts at 91k
C6z06 did same thing in .99g, 0-60 3.7, top speed 198, same brake 149ft, price starts 75k

i dont think you would want the viper up against the zr1


And i re read what you said and i mis wrote what i meant to say, the viper would not completely take out the normal c6 but the viper would def beat it, but i personally think only cause it has about 200 more hp

[MBH]

scott, not that I really care to start a pissing match, but the 08 viper is a freak. headers & tune it makes 600 rwhp. I'm a very averaged sized person @ 5'10 or 5'11 and 200lbs so I have no doubt that I'd fit fine in the car.

This one's for Lou ....

[Sonic03snake]

You got it Mark, if there was a way, id have one. Here is my other obsession. 52 - 54 fords

Reminds me of that Stallone movie 'Cobra' Lou :)
I think I'd build a Shelby Cobra replica with an aluminum 427 SBF.
