I'd take the viper only cause it's worth more. Then I'd sell it and turbo my t/a and keep the change.

I'd take the viper if only to sell it and build said trans am and probably have a little money left over. But since that's not an option definately the T/A. I wish my T/A had half that power, maybe he could share?

All I'm saying is that dude make's AZ proud (how old is that guy?). He absolutely wasted at least one new SRT-10 viper like it was standing still. On the top end it looked like the viper was catching up.. maybe "catching up" isn't the best description. MAKING UP A FEW OF A LOT OF LENGTHS would be better said.

Wow! Hahahahahaha, why even race twice! Id leave with my tail btwn my legs if I owned a car like Killemall. Whos car is this? how such good numbers on pump gas from a 408? Was it me or was the TA messing with him the first race...they went for a while then he stomped it down and anhilated it.
Whoever voted for the viper should be slapped, worth more ya right! Beating ppl like that is priceless.

if you own a viper, people assume you're a douche...take the t/a and you can go fast w/o the associated douchness

You could probably buy a trans am and have all the parts/build done and still have well over what? I'd say over 20 grand in your pocket considering the price of decent low mileage 2003 viper is over 50k. I was just being realistic considering if you could just HAVE either car, the smart person is taking the Viper, it's just common sense.

The Viper is clearly the superior car in all aspects other than going fast in a straight line. But I look at things rationally, so I'll just sit back and watch now.

If you can build me a car like that for 30k, ill buy it tommorow. But yea i see what you mean about the viper price, i would guess the TA has at least 35k invested

Well isn't a 408 stroker kit like what? 3500? turbo cant be THAT much? suspension. If you did all the work you'd save a ton, but I'd imagine even with all the labor the car could still potentially cost under 30 grand all together. I'm interested to know so I can start saving. LOL.
I dont see anything about a transmission/rear end, so thats some savings there also.
