If I won the lottery I'd probably buy a Viper or a Porshe Carrera.<p>I'd still keep my precidia, all suped up... of course...<p>I dunno about you guys but the front of a precidia kinda looks like a Viper... :shrug: Maybe it's just me...

i think it's a challenge to have a cheap small car and modify it to beat up those expensive cars.
now that's called "cool" :D

Mustang GTs are weak, you should have no problem beating them with an engine swap. Also, if someone spends $25,000 on a mustang GT it shows you they know nothing about cars so they probably don't know how to drive either. A good driver in a stock SOHC MX-3 should be able to smoke a crappy driver in a GT any day.

I love the mx-3 and everything but that is not true at all. I dont care who is driving, a SOHC mx-3 wouldnt be able to touch a mustang GT. As much as i hate them, they are quite fast.

Where are you guys getting the idea that the RX-7, WRX or Supra will spank the Viper?
Even modified, it will be rough going.
I've drive ALL of the above mentioned vehicles and the Viper BAR NONE was the fastest, most brutal vehicle I have ever laid my hands on.
I spent 2 days on the streets of Vegas with one that I rented - and believe me, it had been beaten on badly in its short life - and I DESTROYED everything I came up against.
Corvettes, Ferraris, Mustangs, a few RX-7s, WRX and a whole bunch of others.<p>All I did for nearly 48 hours is beat the crap out of that car. I wanted my money's worth and I figured it was better and more fun than craps or blackjack. I didn't sleep, I barely ate, I pissed in the desert and I burned several tanks of gas.<p>I'd take a Viper over just about everything else ever made in a heartbeat.
Now the pricetag is another issue. I'd never spend that kind of green on a domestic because, the fact is, the car is a piece of crap with regards to fitment, comforts and build quality.
The '72 Civic had a better interior.
At 1/2 the sticker price, it starts to be reasonable.

vipers are still over rated... take the corvette and it would wallop the viper with a couple mods. Not to mention the difference in the interiors. I also feel that corvettes are abit better made than the average domestic vehicle... I have sat in a viper but I never got to drive it... the dash is horrible looking,its a big sea of flat boring plastic...

It worked really well for me, and it's super comfortable as well. I onnly wish my MX-3 was that nice. The gauges were perfect for glancing at high speeds as well. So, I like it.<p>As for the Corvette, I think it's one of the ugliest cars ever created. In my opinion I can't believe it's been around for over 50 years. I hate their interrior, and I find them extremelly uncomfortable.<p>A Viper is NOT as slow as quinn_seipp is saying. I know.<p>~A
