the viper better be more powerful than this

 

The 2008 Mclaren tuned viper is expected to do 0-60 3.5 seconds too. Thats without a supercharger.

 

Yeah I agree with Avenger39...The Viper better be faster than this ugly vette!

 

It's an acceptable looking car (for 50 grand), but the rear is hideous. What semi rear ended that?

 

dude, the Z06 starts at 70 grand, this one will be a bit more then 50 grand.

 

Try 100 grand.

 

Nearly double that price...

 

My point exactly, or is now, why pay $100,000 for a car that looks like a 50k car?

 

I dont know about the 100k figure....I really think that's a bit higher then it will actually be....as you can purchase a 400hp LS2 powered Corvette for around 46k and get the 427CID Twin Turbo Lingenfelter kit....for 52k... and your doing a whopping 725hp and 730ftlb of torque.....and that's brand new....

You can also drop down to the 366CID Twin Turbo kit for about 28k....and throw down 600hp/600ftlbs of torque....

I only mention this because I dont see how GM is going to be able to justify a 150hp upgrade for basically 30k....when you could spend about 68k on a Z06....and buy the 45k upgrade from Lingenfelter that will turn you into a 800hp Twin Turbo Z06....

I think the 100k is a tad overblown.....I think you'll see a very similar pricing to the Viper.....
