^^^ Dude is trying WAAAAYYY to hard to sound like Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear UK.

^ I agree, with the bits of humor he tries to throw in there. I love any video that has Randy Pobst in it. Such an awesome driver!

I got to see Randy drive a few times this year. Looking forward to getting to watch him next year in the K-Pax Volvo's. He is a local GA native. Our owner actually met up with him at a local track a few months ago and had Randy take our shop car for a spin for a few laps.

Wow, thats awesome :tup:. What did he have to say about your guys test car?

I love Carlos Lago!
Glad to see they haven't changed what a Viper really means.

Overall he does a good job. I really enjoy the Ignition episodes.

How in the hell am I only now seeing this thread? I gotta leave the conference room more often!

11.4@128 after running a 3.4 second 0-60? His 60' time is certainly not bad enough to justify the trap and ET. I'm not impressed AT ALL with that performance at that price delta and comparing it to my old Z06 or the ZR1. It seems like you're paying for image, name, and "feel" rather than performance.

The '10 Viper is probably a much better buy, given that.

Just my .02, but if I were going to buy another super car, it would be a '10 Viper.

It's just one test.

And yes, you are paying for more than just performance with the Viper.

This is a car enthusiast website after all so I'm sure lots of you caught Top Gear US last night with the new Viper.
I think it looked really nice with the contrasting brown interior, though the panel gap that was pointed out is unacceptable for a car of that price point and that light up emblem is just:supergay:.

Oh and that Vanquish sounded effing amazing.

The light up 3rd brake light has always been on a Viper. I'm hoping the panel gap is less on the production models, as this was one of the media cars SRT let the testers use.

The Vanquish is just downright sex on wheels though!

SRT made clear to media that the cars they are testing are all pre-production, and thus things like panel gap will be worked out. Everyone but Top Gear chose to ignore it, knowing that it probably won't be the same when they get their hands on a production car. I wouldn't worry about it.

dodge exposed their own car way before this thread... here.
