What if?
« on: August 29, 2008, 11:04:29 AM »
Ok, you've won a your choice of one of three cars with registration, gas, insurance and taxes covered for 5 years. Pay your own dam tickes and whatever mods you wish to do.  What one do you pick and why?
1. 09 GT-R

2.09 ZR-1

3.09 SRT-10 ACR



For me its the viper.  Why? V10 with potential of more power for about 5K with forced induction.

I like the Viper too... but would sell it immediately and use the duckets for something with armor, a gun mount and an entrenching tool.

The price of Freedom is the willingness to do sudden battle, anywhere, any time and with utter recklessness...

...at home, or abroad.

Viper..  I'd race it and pay for the guns and stuff etc with the purse money :P

LMAO   the GTR looks like a cubist portrait of a car when you're completely hosed.,

Re: the Viper's time around the ring (4" faster than the ZR1) :   It looks like 4th gear ends at 164mph, 5th at 223, 6th at 360+ ...

What Steve said. The only thing that disturbs me is the poor production tolerances. Shouldn't be that way on such an expensive car. The Viper would be fun, provided it didn't break down on the way to the track. For as rare as a Hennesy Viper is, it's funny how many you could find broken down on Houston freeways. I don't see the ACR being any more reliable. I still like the R34 Skylines better than the new GT-R.

edit:
You should have made this an option :)

The Vette actually can keep up with the viper if not beat it in the race, funny it costs like 10000 less :noid

I mentioned a while back that the vette should be retired. I musta been drunk, 'cause boy was I wrong.

This vette is a monster folks and the viper wouldn't even provide it a decent snack.

Owned.

Edit: and thats one for the gt-r anyone else?
