Hennessey Venom, a real man's car. Faster, looks better and is about 10x cheaper than the veyron

Re: A real car

Re: A real car

Dodge did do it, it's a Viper. Hennessey tried to church it up. Your still spending ungodly amounts of money to park a p.o.s. Dodge in your garage IMO

Re: A real car

raw power...but not as much handling...

sorry, i don't love it. i'll stop now, before this turns into an arguement. i didn't know it was ok for you to shoot down the Veyrons, but not ok for me to give my opinion abuot the Venom.

Re: A real car

give your opinion about the venom. Nothing wrong with vipers. They're my favorite car and probably the only american car I like besides the Buick GN/GNX and maybe the new camaro.

Re: A real car

Veyron = raw power plus balance
Henessy Venom = raw power

Not saying the Venom is a POS but the Viper wasn't originally built for over 1000 horsepower, where as the Bugatti was.

your missing the point of the veyron. Its not famous because it has a 1000hp, its famous because the car is fast while luxurious at the same time. If the viper is so much faster but still can't touch the veyron's 254mph.

The reason the viper tops out at 220 is because its not aerodyanmic enough to hit 254. The veyron was engineered from the ground up to hit past 220+, they didn't just bolt a turbo to a big engine and call it a day.

Re: A real car

lol a car specifically designed with 1000hp and 250 mph in mind with every bolt, or a dodge with some turbos slapped on. hmm...

the hennessey venom 1000tt(based off the older model viper) tops out past 250.

0-60 under 3 seconds, faster top end than the veyron.

Veyron is built with everything in mind. When you buy a viper you get great looks, good power. Viper isn't meant to be a luxury car and whoever said it sucks around turns tell that to Team Oreca. Sure you don't want to have the most HP in a viper at the track, because it's too much to handle, but it's not like a viper is a classic muscle car.
