Ford GT vs. Viper SRT-10

The viper with 850-hp and 1200 lbs. is pretty impresive,
the ford gt, on the other hand with its top speed of around
200 mph at a price tag of $140,000 is also pretty impressive, it beets the top speed of the viper which is around 190 which isn't that big of a
difference, but then again the viper is alot cheaper and in
my opinion looks better.

What do you guys think??

850 hp. 1,200 lb. Viper, are you refering to some article you've seen or something? Please explain.

The Ford GT is more like $150,000, and probably more with inevitable dealer mark up. My opinion is, that the Viper is the better deal because it runs with the GT, and provides just as much flash for half the price, not to mention being much more accessible, which is important. The GT is the more balanced of the two though.

i'm more of a GT type of person myself

i dont like the way the viper looks, and last i heard, the GT was hitting upwards of 200 mph, like ~210

and it has 550 hp, not 500, and the viper only has 500, not 850. besides, the GT handles better

oh, i've been searching, and i have seen dealer mark ups on the GT past $300,000

Well Car and Driver magazine said the viper had
800-hp I dont know why, and as for the looks viper
in my opinion looks exquisite.

The only test results for the Viper SRT-10, was generated with a convertible!!! I have not seen any results for a hard top version. I beleive the only hard top version is the ACR, which does not count. I think it is pretty impressive that Dodge has made a convertible that can generate 1.0 G , and at times more, in a test. I think this would be a better comparison if we had the hard top street version to compare the two. Also, we have to consider weight, the convertible will be heavier than the hard top....that could make a slight difference

Dodge doesn't make one. :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

They will eventually, the SVO Viper racecar gives you a good idea of what it will look like.

The viper SRT-10 would look better with a hardtop
I saw a pic of the SVO racecar it looks pretty nice.

Of all American cars the GT40 has always been my dream car. With all its racing history and good looks.

The Viper is also a great great car. The only American car these days that live up to name "Muscle car".
