Re: supra owner thinking about viper
I upgraded from a modified (450HP) supra to a modified 97 GTS.
Supra:
Pro: Comfortable ride, Toyota build quality and reliability, creature comforts, assured handling, turbo kick at 4500, cheap upgrade parts
Con: Sequential turbo flat spot(or large single lag), weight, lack of torque, wimpy exhaust sound
Viper:
Pro: Looks and comments everytime - everywhere, amazing torque, quick steering, utter simplicity, a race car for the street
Con: outrageous part prices, K-car build quality, poor stock brakes
I am still kicking myself for selling the Supra and not using it as a commuter... If you want a mean American muscle car, the Viper is it, period. Supras are better all around, daily cars, but just doesn't have the emotional charge.
