Can't do 200mph then go home!

Hi there

A real good video here, of some real nice cars.

http://www.roadandtrack.com/video/

Yeah the Veyron gets beaten but that Vipers looks undrivable and needs an expert to not only launch it but drive it too. Wheras with the Veyron its a doddle to drive in comparison. Plus I am guessing a Viper with that amount of power will simply just crash at the first corner it sees.

P.S. The video first plays a 42s clip and then starts playing the main video, so make sure you watch it all.

Brilliant video, it shows just what an amazing car the Veyron is. As for the Viper, well, anyone can get 1000BHP out of a car, but putting that power onto the road and creating a car which can be used every day in every situation is another matter.

Great video! The time that the veyron and viper hit 200 is shockingly fast :eek:

I was thinking, with the massive amounts of power would a "third rear wheel" work? :confused:

Having suspension designed in the last hundred years would help...

I was thinking that, I thought why dont they put even wider wheels on it for more grip?

bloody fast though!

daven1986 · 1 Aug 2007 at 21:55

what about that car some guy modded. was the fastest road car or something...think it was on fifth gear. wonder how that'd do here!

Barry1337 · 1 Aug 2007 at 22:02

Thats so fast!

Clarkey · 1 Aug 2007 at 22:36

100-200mph in 13s, that is immense :eek:

Would that be an oh-so-subtle dig at the Viper's inate American-ness?

If so - double wishbones, coils over tube shocks front and back. Unless I'm very much mistaken, that style of suspension isn't considered to be overly prehistoric. If not - my apologies

Yeah, anyone who isn't highly skilled is literally putting their life on the line driving the Viper. Wheel spin at a 140? Sod that.

It compares a stock supercar (the Veyron) against a heavily tuned musclecar, so its not really surprising the Viper wins. I wonder if superchips are offering a deal on a Veyron remap yet

I was interested to know what time a Forumla 1 does the 0-200mph blast in. Looking around on the web, I see a few sites indicating its around 15 seconds, which is pretty incredible really considering its a small natually aspirated engine!

How about 1 full width one

That viper looked like it was trying to kill him...

bigchez · 1 Aug 2007 at 23:09

I shoulld imagaine the 0-200-0 time of a full bore F1 car would be even more impressive.

Simon · 1 Aug 2007 at 23:31

That is silly fast :eek:

rare · 1 Aug 2007 at 23:59

Watching the veyron pull away is jaw dropping, so fast :eek:

The viper is obviously pretty insane, but it hardly looks a everyday car.
