I had a ncie drive today, came across a new black Dodge Viper, and a black Aston Martin DB9, sorry no pic's :)

I wanted to race the Viper with my little Dinan S1, but the older guy would not budge, and his teenage son looked at my car like it was a joke. But I have to admit the Viper does look real bad *** from the rear, those tires are like frigging slick's. I am sure the Viper would have toasted me anyways.

The DB9, was a black vert, and my wife said look at that Ford Thunderbird, I said no that is a Aston Martin that cost 3x a Thunderbird, she said it still looks like a new Mustang or similiar not a $100+k car.

The Viper sure does look mean, but what about reliability, and service, does the same person who works on Neon work on a Viper too ? Also one of my Polish friends was shocked when looking over the Viper at the auto show, could not believe how cheap the car looked inside, using same Dodge parts, and overall cheap material's beside the engine

I am glad for my E39 M5, only car really looking forward too would be the four door E90 M3, or the next generation M5 coming out in a few years

Dodge viper SRt10 is fast about 3.8 to 60 so the M5 is a joke to it. But it is hella cheap, the engine is solid and the rest is crap.

Aston Martins look great, but super cheap as well. Keep in mind ford does own them.

Yes. BMW M5=Road Warrior=Highway Star.

NA cars/companies/owners/etc seem to have this facination with quickies. When they gonna learn what good sex is all about. They drive their cars the same way.

1/4 mile times and max speed. Pah. Bloody Provincials. :p

I feel that my car is the Batmobile, all midnight blue, tinted windows, and even have a darker set of M5 rims, lowered it looks badass, and drives like dream

But that new Viper sure does look mean from the rear, those wide tires and body stance make it look mean. But I think a new M6 in black, tinted, and some wider tires will look just as tough

I dunno, maybe I'm getting old, but to me, the Viper just looks like an over-steroided body-builder wearing a wife-beater tank top. Over the top styling calculated to appeal to those NA quickie freaks... ; )

I agree, except for the rear only, yeah interior wise it is a Neon clone, and the front looks trashy too, but those rear tires is what I liked, and the width of the car

I have no room for the new SRT 10. I am however a fan of the previous generation, GTS:thumbsup:

fast4door, the story does surprise me a little, but not a lot. You did say it was a different story above the 60 range...... The E39 is still the winner at any speed vs a viper. IMO
