would it be wrong to sell my Z and get a Viper race car?

LS... you 'ought to do that right away. I don't think any 370s have done an LS swap yet. That would be sick.

I get a little hot and bothered just THINKING about that LS swap 350Z that was at ZdayZ last spring. The sound of that thing...

Well usually they stay on the side of the road when you are driving by, instead of randomly merging...

And then there's the ACR Viper

xgrudgex · 12-15-2011, 03:46 PM

Just fyi.... the viper is one of the most expensive cars in terms of upkeep. Now thats with just cars that see the raod on weekends. I couldnt imagine what it would cost when your puting a years worth of abuse in one sesh.
But then again I am the one to worry about that sort of thing because I dont have the cash to even buy the car but mat not everyone is in the same boat as me...
I tell you if I had the cash tho... no doubt about it, upkeep would be worth the heads I turn passing by hahaha!

what kind/year of viper were you looking at? I been in a 94 gts and a 09 acr, damn things are a monster. Like someone already said the T56 tranny is amazing. Only thing that sucks is the amount of spark plugs you gotta change...lol.

I say do it.
