Studman895 Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 To me it looks like Dodge totally ripped off the S2000 body. if any body agrees hit me up and tell me what you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBirdSucks Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 the only similarity is that they're roadsters.... go look at the back of a BMW Z4. now that's screaming S2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sup Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 A Viper and an S2000 look nothing alike Anyways how could Dodge copy off the S200 when the Viper came out way before the S2000 did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optional187 Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 i think he's refering to the new body style vipers, which IMO are a little less impressive than the old body style. but they still don't look like s2000's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercutio Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 I can see why you'd say that about the sid eof the car, but birds right, its just that its a convertable too. i would much rather have a viper than an S2K, but thats just my greedy caucasian side coming out.

VR17 Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 yah know.. the s20000 is alot smaller then the viper.. and vipers are just too sexy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercutio Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 I personally cant wait to see the S20000. I got some pictures of a widebody gunmetal track Viper form HIN. Ill have pics soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optional187 Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 s20000? thats one 0 too much i've seen pictures of the widebody viper you speak of...looks nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just isn't fair to a domestic company like Dodge. And as far as that Z06 goes, we aren't talking price here, so i would have to go with the Viper over the Z06 merely because it looks better, and is similar in speed.

optional187 Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 single turbo supra > all other mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S14Silvia Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 single turbo supra > all other mentioned. modified is a different story... lingenfelter 725tt, ruf rgt, porsche gemballa 650 gtr package, all superior to single turbo supras.. not to mention sexier, supras resemble clown shoes.

optional187 Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 superior in both performance and price. a single turbo supra can be had for less than a new corvette...which was the cheapest stock car mentioned wasn't it? i do agree with you though, the lingenfelter corvettes are awesome.

Mercutio Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 God damn sig! I can;t f*cking think straight with that THING bouncing around...please change it, stop posting, or use it on your personal photo...gah! And have you seen the new Elise Exige? f*cking awesome. I know its nowhere near as good as those previous cars, but Ilove them, and wish I could afford one here in the states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boy blue Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 between the two rides (s2000-viper) which one will have the highest resale and reliability rate in the next eight, seven, six, two years,.. id go w honda... imo... they both look cool though..

Frizzle86 Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Hmm supra, you can buy for what 20K? a 97-00 C5 Corvette can be had for 20K as well. $ for $ put into the car the Vette will beat the Supra. Supras that you see make 1000 HP are dyno queens, cuz it will be almost as quick as the Basic Preformance upgrade Supra at the track, and will get blown away by a 1000HP Vette.

Mercutio Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 The only downside is that once you get the Vette, it STILL costs a crapload more oney to modify it compared to the Supra, which is also REALLY expensive to modify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S14Silvia Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 cost of 725tt package installed? $48995, thats installed tuned and broken in. you dont actually need to have the z06, you can have just a c5 since they just toss the stock motor anyway. in order to get a supra to compete you need to build the entire engine from the block up, huge turbo, huge fuel system, in addition to massive amounts of suspension tuning. not to mention hours of dyno tuning, it ends up bein about the same >_< .. but the vette doesnt look like a clown shoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think everyone with a high powered Supra builds it just to strap it on a dyno? You are truly ignorant. There are plenty of full body Supras running 8's.

S14Silvia Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 There are plenty of full body Supras running 8's. hehe unfortunately there are more dyno queens >_< poopras are fast, but i still dont like the styling and they're heavy to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercutio Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 I like the RX-7 godammit. They can get pretty fast too, just not stock. As I said, the Bonzai from Petit is a good example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
