Hi. Just wondering which car you think is faster and the biggest bang for the buck. I'm talking about the twin turbo supra by the way. I'm also referring to the older viper, the RT10 version. Which one do you think is more worth the money. Also, are vipers hard or expensive to maintain? Also, are vipers easy tp modify at all?http://dailydigitaldeals.info/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/11/33/buy.gif

I think you will find this club more biased towards the Supra...

I don't think many owners on this site have had the RT10 so would be hard to get a comparison

 

Also, are vipers hard or expensive to maintain? Also, are vipers easy to modify at all?

 

Probably best ask that on a Viper forum mate :)

I drove a phase II GTS to Magny Cours for the F1 GP a few years ago, i'm pretty sure it would see

off a stock mkiv tt, the only bad bit was non abs brakes, oh and burning the backs of your

legs on the side skirts when wearing shorts :blink:

The Supra is by far the better handling, more comfortable, better built and all round better every day car to own.

 

The Viper build quality is pretty ropey, the ride is poor and the handling scary, you basically cling onto the steering wheel and pray that the car stays pointing in the right direction, take your eyes off the road for a second and it will bite you, in fact the one I drove claimed the life of the new owner a few weeks after I'd been in it.

 

The Viper would have the edge in straight line performance against a BPU Supra, as it has a lot more torque available early in the rev range. Up against a small single turbo Supra on normal roads though and the Supra would be the quicker car to drive.

On a road car in my opinion, yes it is a bad thing

 

I find it just gets in the way when you are used to not having it and my daily will see the track dont worry about that, itching for my first practice day since last being out Aug last year :(
