Sure I can. I just did. Watch, wanna see me do it again? OH, there I go again. What are you gonna do? Stop me? MWAHAHAHAHA

Miatas and S2k's are lighter, sure, but I'm referring more to suspension than anything else. Z's feel small and tight and have vurry responsive suspension. Mustangs can as well, but in the one ride I had in a Stang (some f*cking nutjob drove me around), it just felt bigger.

Now, because I'm a Z fanboy, I'm going to take back the nice things I've said and say that a Stang isn't a sports car because of SRA. There. See what you've done now?

lolol

haha i looked at that picture and thought those vipers had completed the lap and caught up with the miata that was in last place

So how is your mustang M4 ohohoho.

today I saw the most badass dodge ram ever.

Viper 8.4 V10 engine swap, supercharged I think(I know it got that or turbos, its boosted in any case)
upgraded suspension, some aero edits. completly redone exhaust.

He floored it at the gas station I always eat at, I came, most beautifull noise ever.

You guys never got the SRT10 truck?
There is a Dodge truck that has the Viper V10 in it from factory here, it sucks horribly.

Because it has POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER.

Still want this car.

Challenger is a SWEET cruiser. It actually has some decent skidpad numbers for a car that size but it doesn't really handle transitions too well. But for cruising it is a badass car.

Sibze · 02-17-2011, 10:44 AM

They might be putting the Viper engine into the Challenger, that would be sick!

They actually have done this before, back in 2008 at SEMA.

But I was just reading that the Drag Pak is going to be released, but for the cost of a GTR. 85k buys you a v10 Challenger, but only if you're one of the lucky 70 that gets your hands on one.

Oh, and it comes with a 2-speed automatic transmission and weighs in at 3200 lbs. This is a drag strip toy and nothing more.

Sibze · 02-17-2011, 11:02 AM

damnnnn, $$$

Sibze · 02-17-2011, 11:04 AM

wtf, 2 speed auto???

[IMG]Just 70 copies will be built, each commanding a cool $85,512. There are three options: For $7950, Mopar will add a roll cage, safety harnesses, and mesh windows. If you want the car painted any color other than primer white, cough up $6700; the Mopar wrap decals seen here cost an additional $950.[/IMG]

m4a1mustang · 02-17-2011, 11:06 AM

Yeah, most dedicated drag-racing cars use a 2-speed automatic.
