Yeah, I am really bothered by how powerful yet slow they are. If I were Jay Leno rich, I'd still have a 392 Challenger though. I know plenty of people here are headstrong about Fords but, other companies build fast cars too

A Viper would eat and spit out anything Ford is building right now. Just sayin.

Actually the Shelby is about the same level of performance. Plus the viper cost what? Double?

No doubt. That Viper held the record at Nordschleife with a 7:12:13. Faster than a ZR1, GTR and a Ford GT lol but a Mustang is faster lol. Wow.

Strait line performance, every test I've seen to date has a Viper accelerating faster than a GT500. I guess he means a Mustang is faster to decline in resale value than a Viper.

we really comparing a two seater purpose build sports car to a four seater mustang? thats like comparing apples to dog shit...... the Viper is a superior car in every way. and at almost double the cost I would expect it to be. If I had the money I would have a Viper no doubt about it but that has been my dream car since I was a kid and the first Viper came out. I love Shelbys and mustangs dont get me wrong, but its no viper...

So even though the Viper slaughters the Mustang in every conceivable way, the Mustang is better because it's cheaper lol? Okayyyyyy.

there is no doubt the shelby is one of the best bang for your buck cars out right now but its still nothing close to a viper. If you want to go with that argument buy a base model GT and use the extra $30k in mods and smoke both cars in everything.

viper > Shelby any day of the week. I've always wanted a viper but I've always been to broke or to damn cheap.

That's exactly what i would do, but they were comparing the two.

I'm not saying the viper didn't preform better. But certainly doesn't "slaughter" it, and it most certainly isn't 50k better.

Gt500 coupe starts at 55k and the viper is nearly double. No thanks. Especially since I'm a straight line guy.

Viper is not kid friendly so I'm out.
