most the time I completely agree with you....but not here, the NSX was actually a very underrated car by most as it was able to compete with all the high end cars of its time and for much less. it was NEVER meant for a straight line....EVER....

The car cost more to produce then they were able to sell it for. Car was a flop.

im not talking about wat it can do in a turn, or how it is from a roll, or wat its top speed is

im simply saying when it comes to 1/4 mile ALOT of ricers (atleast locally) think NSXs cant be beat and its rediculous

In July 2005, Honda officially announced that it would cease manufacturing NSX and transfer its research and development efforts to the search for its successor. The last NSX sale in the US took place in Spokane, Washington in the summer of 2006; originally intended for Honda's museum.

2010 Chevy Corvette coupe

There is a few right there. If they are somewhat expensive could always go for a later model. But hey we are talking about a used viper here which could run somewhere between what 30-60k ??? Im sure you could find a nice car for that amount other then a used viper

after looking at that list I STILL stand by my statement...the only one that would have a chance running against chucks decade old viper would be the vette and it would need a driver that really knows what he is doing....

You would only by a car for the power ? Not me. It would have to be for looks also. Viper to me is so played out. The look never really changed. Whats so differn't about the way it looks other then the powertrain has been upgrated several times. I rather go with something newer, better looking, and can drop a little bit of money and make it a little faster.

I would be satisfied with a 2009/10 Challenger R/T If it isn't as fast as a Viper Wouldn't bother me, But I could always drop some money into it and make it faster, Plus it has a more beautiful body to me then the viper.. (IMO) No disrespect to Chuck
