i dont knowww, i think id end up paying more in court fees in the end than the car would cost if i had that. sure is slick though, but really is 250k worth, 1k hp and all the flashy paint and wheels, i have a hard time always justifying that part of the automobile scene.

255mph, Has that been officially tested or that an estimation? I love that car, if i had the money for sure i would get one. First off its a viper so your going to get looks everywhere you go without a doubt. Second its insanely fast, that anything that pulls up next to you on the street you should own from any gear. And it just looks gorgeous.

i always thought as a viper as the professional bodybuilder version of our camaros. I think it's the hatch and rear lights.

The 255 mph claim is an estimate, but it has gone 217.xx mph through the standing mile.

If I had the money I would, but then again I'd have to get all the roads around me repaved to drive that sexy *** car around. I wince everytime I scrape my 'camaro, I think I'd have a heart attack if anything happened to that car.

I wouldn't lend John Henessey $1 to buy a bottle of water, nevermind pay him to mod my $75k car for me or buy one from him. It's amazing how he's still in business.

That shouldnt change your view on how the car looks tho. I'm not a fan of the front air dam, but OMG that car is sexy.

It is definitely capable of 10's, so was that corvette, but the drivers sucked really bad, i dont think any of them were capable of getting lower than 11.5, but they mph'erd very high showing that if driven right they could whoop some ***

That car is beautiful...Regardless of who touched it. I've also heard Henessey horror stories though.

I've always been a fan of coupes over roadsters and convertables. I think dodge nailed the coupe in the 2nd gen viper. I can honestly say though, I HATE the sound of the uneven firing v10. I think that would be the only thing that would keep me from getting one. Though, the thought of getting a v-12 stuffed into a 1st gen viper coupe has crossed my mind
