Oh yeah, ignorance and misinformation instead of doing research, that's right. My bad.
I forgot this was an American car forum, therefor:
Japanese = bad car
Anything that isn't a v8 = bad car
Turbo = bad
/Rant off.
Yes, the viper is a nice performance car, but imo it is ugly as SIN. That and the ACR has NO CREATURE COMFORTS AT ALL. The GT-R has a FULL interior, radio, A/C and all kinds of other electronic gizmos. The fact that a car with all the creature comforts and more, can even run a 1/4 anywhere close to that of a stripped down racecar is an amazing feat, but in the video the GT-R manages a FASTER time.... yet people still bag on it.... See above rules for American car forum I suppose....
/Flame suit on.

First off, may i start by saying i have not one, but TWO friends who actually own a GTR. So you can STFU about 'ignorance'. I know more about the car than you could ever pretend to.
Second, "In my opinion" whoever sold you that ugly mustang robbed you.
Third, if you want to compare 1/4 times than you should compare them with a GT500, which will blow 10's with much less than 80k+ . But if speed wasn't your argument, then id remind you that same ACR beat it on a track.

A tick over 13.0 sec. and you're through the quarter-mile. It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."
