Viper and 'Vette... the new American Muscle Car vs the classic American Sports Car... gotta love it

[Darkness]

I wasnt surprised when they said that the cars were garbage, britts always diss on american cars, good or bad.

[mattlikespeople]

yeah. they did an accurate comparrison of the cars but its hard to believe that he didnt like a single thing on the viper. 'stiff ass britt' as james bond said in golden eye

Anyone who says Tiff Needell is a pussy or can't drive is a complete idiot.

I assure you both of these cars are Fisher Price toys compared to what he has raced in his career.

A year later he achieved the ultimate status of Grand Prix Driver with a couple of outings for Team Ensign. Although only joining the team while they waited for Jan Lammers to be free from his commitment to another team Tiff’s results in a difficult car were every bit as good as the Dutchman’s.

Despite a great deal of interest in his services there were no Grand Prix seats free for 1981 so Tiff switched to Endurance Sportscar Racing to further his career and soon became established in that arena of motorsport. His best results have been two third classifications, a fourth, a fifth and a sixth in World Championship events while he has contested twelve Le Mans 24 Hours races with a best result of 3rd place in 1990 from his six finishes.

Now, with the growth of World GT Racing, Tiff is back in sportscars having returned to Le Mans, after a two year break, for the ’95 race in a Jaguar XJ220 and then in ’96, ’97 and ’98 with the Newcastle United sponsored Lister Storm.

Anyway, saying that there is nothing they liked about the Viper is a little harsh, but the rest does hold true. The shifter does feel like a stick stuck in the mud. The suspension is not composed, poised, or refined on either car.

You have to consider that GM tries to charge about $90k for the C6 and Dodge about $150k for the Viper when you convert those currency rates. For that price, you can get a TVR or Porsche that will absolutely kick the crap out of both of those cars on the track without riding like a garbage truck and being built like a tin can.

I guarantee you that they would be a lot nicer to the cars if they cost the same in Europe as the do in the US.

Like I said. The Corvette is a great car at $50k. Nothing can touch it.

However, charge more than $90k for it (as it is in England) and it doesn't seem like such a good deal anymore.
