Just because a car is at the drag strip doesn't mean it's a drag car. Judging by the lack of roll bar, it's clearly a street car.

Awful accented trim panel fail, agree. But hey we were all young and stupid once...

Dont be an idiot, a ton of people drag race t-top cars.

Don't be ridiculous. There are MANY combustible liquids that can be fermented or synthesized that can be used in an ICE other than fossil fuels. We use fossil fuels because they're cheap and plentiful and we are very efficient as using them at this point. But we can always run cars on alcohol fermented from our own…

I completely agree, plus Gone in 60 Seconds is much less of a remake and much more of a sequel to the original gone in 60 seconds. The script is a modified version of the sequel that Halicki was shooting when he was killed. All these references to "being a reformed car thief" and "saving little brother", this is all…

maybe next time carry 6-10 cans of plastidip with you and just spray bomb the car under an overpass.

If you do a little research, those guys are notorious for taking people's money and never delivering the product. What a shame, he builds some REALLY impressive stuff, but apparently he spends all his time making youtube videos instead of delivering goods.

If it were "too much for the dyno" then the dyno would just read low. Unless you mean the 2200hp is too much for some ratchet straps.

Thats just stupid. God forbid a car guy want a fun car that isnt an economy car. I suppose if he had a miata or a civic he'd be okay? That's ridiculous.

Nowhere near as big as some of the others mentioned (my vote is Chernobyl. Fukushima at least had most of its radiation dumped into the sea, which still sucks, but it limits direct impacts on human living space) but I bring it up because it's such an interesting story. The Goiania incident in Brazil. An MRI machine…

Dan Neil was just as much of a useless pompous vaginal washing device when he was on The Car Show with Adam Corolla. Always complaining about pollution and praising hybrids and organic foods and whatnot. I mean there's a place for that, but things like The Car Show and a Viper review are not that place. No one buys a…

Dan Neil is such an idiot. He loves his hybrid economy cars and generic SUV's and that's wonderful. He is not the target market for cars like the Viper and he's not a car guy the way we are car guys.

Badge engineering aside, it's a decent car. My mom has had 2 of them over the past 8 or so years. I drive it on occasion and it really is a decent driving vehicle. It's even surprisingly quick for what it is. Interior was nice, sound system was great. In fact I like pretty much everything about it except that hideous…

Yeah it's a good point. I cant believe I forgot about the Lt5. Super wicked engine. I actually got to see one years ago.

Those engines are MUCH lower profile than the Ford Modular motors I was moer directly referring too. They made a lot of design sacrifices to be able to fit the LT5 into the corvettes, too. And Im not sure you could fit them into a modern corvette at all.

Let us not forget the reason the mustangs are so tall is because tehy ahve to fit that huge DOHC 5 liter v8 into them. You cant fit a DOHC v8 into a corvette. You can fit a lot more liters in there, though...

VERY few things from 1970-1980 look good. VERY few.

These same things are said about any new infrastructure. Make it work at 1 percent atmosphere. Give up 700 mph and go 350mph. Engineering is compromises, and this type of setup is fundamentally doable. I see it as a far cheaper and far more effective alternative to high speed rail which is a complete waste of time in…

Pretty much anything that is "interference fit". No one likes having to take parts to a shop to have them press stuff in and out, and I dont have room for a press of my own anyway.

Traction control is not what someone who wants a car like a Viper WANTS in his car. It is contrary to the entire design philosophy of the car. And it was extremely uncommon in contemporary sports cars.
