Andy,
Fek, **** what ....how fast is that car

I'm with ya though mate, two please. I wonder if they have any audio files of the beast ?!!

 

he he he, comes with warranty AND aircon

 

me wants

 

NAAAAAA way to slow

CCG last month had a catram (street leagle) doing it around there, but had a crysler dooing it in just over a second ( a drag car)

 

Nah, you wouldn't want aircon - it would affect the power to weight ratio....

 

With that much power, I don't think it'd matter.

And why is it, no matter what cool cars are created, there's also some bright spark jumping up saying "Ah, but what about the Ninja Caterham/Westfield twin-superbike engined bathtub on wheels that can do 3000mph in 4 seconds". Who cares, you'd have to pay me to get in one of those things.

The Viper looks lurvely, most likely sounds lurvely, would get the women all gooey, and won't soak the occupants in a downpour.

 

yeah, what 'e said

I'd even swap my scoob for the viper

 

STILL not as quick as my mates nova with neons and lovely stick on tail pipe.

True, but as the droves of people NOT buying an MY01 will testify, it's no good having a fast car if it's got the looks of a smacked ****. I think people like their cars to have performance AND looks, so it's not unreasonable to comment on both.

Iffy build quality? I haven't heard this. But then the car you referred to, the Caterham/Westie types, aren't exactly the bastions of screwed-togetherness either.

Besides, the Viper (along with V8 Vantage and Diablo) are one of the few cars you can FEEL approaching.

 

Bloody hell - that's fantastico co co co ... . .. . .. . . . . ..

How much do you recon £100,000 maybe.

 

Well a brand new 'standard' viper is only US$70K = 49K pounds

Not sure how much the conversion is worth

 

Make that £149k all in then , give or take £20k. Yikes!
