806 Horsepower? "I gotta get me one of these!"

[hech54]

Corvette reliability is HARDLY stellar.... ....and besides....to me aftermarket add-ons and bolt-ons don't count. The clutch in a Vette is revoltingly tiresome, I can stab a ball point pen through the plastic anywhere near the tail lights....and last time I've seen interior plastic of that caliber....it contained Tic Tacs.

[hech54]

The only difference is there'd be a shorter smear for road clean-up to take care of, than if you were going above 300MPH

I did 140mph in an old Ford LTD/Police package bruiser once....THAT scared me....

Can it go around corners?

Once I got it broken in, I did 135 on my motorcycle, which had no fairing. It took a while to dismount/dislodge

Hello,

I would have thought getting thrown violently from it on a sharp turn would have done the trick

--did you hear the other month about the dude who got a ticket for riding his bike 200mph in Montana????? --

No chance of that. I had a death "grip" on the seat

200? Well, as creative as any other interesting way to commit suicide, I suppose :P

That is insane.
Have you been diagnosed as such?....

[Doramius]

You gotta have a good balance in your wheels to be doing those speeds on 2 wheels. If you hit a small rock with your front wheels and get a slight twist, it's all over. Not to mention a 2MPH wind gust could probably throw you. The Dodge Tomahawk is excellent on turns due to the 4 wheels instead of 2. When turning, the wheels pivot similar to this. \\ || // You always have 4 wheels on the ground which adds extra grip.

I'd really like to see one of these with a shell though.

No, just young and stupid :P

Here's the tron light cycles. I think this would be similarly how I think a shell would look on a Dodge Tomahawk.

If you want to play an old PC light cycle game CLICK HERE! You have to use your keyboard arrow keys to play.

New Dodge Viper

Dodge Viper

[hech54]

That is one of my favourite TV shows. Not quite my favourite car however. Jeremy was right....8.3 liters and only 500HP?

[yoda313]

Hello,


WHO WAS THAT GUY?????? (I'm in the STATES so I wouldn't know....)

Boy how can you put down a car that much and STILL love it?????

If I had $100,000 on the side I'd buy that in a heart beat....

I've always loved the Dodge Viper. One of those great American muscle cars...

Kevin

[hech54]

Jeremy Clarkson.
The show is Top Gear and it is shown on BBC.
GREAT SHOW.

[rhegedus]

I'm capturing the whole of the new series so, once I sort out a broadband connection, I'll upload the interesting bits

[hech54]

I've got the last two seasons on DVD. We haven't seen any of the new ones yet here.
Jeremy is one of the few that owns a Ford GT in the U.K....pretty good for a guy who makes a living picking on American cars...

[rhegedus]

Not yet.......... you need to see the new series to find out why

[Doramius]

Dodge Viper was the only American Car to be considered in the Top 10 exotic cars. Mustang didn't make it in the top 25. I'm not saying the viper is the best vehicle, but it's pretty good. Once Dodge places the hydraulic transmission in their vipers, you'll see a lot more horsepower. You can check out the hydraulic transmission [url=http://torvec.com/products_ftv.html][b]HERE[/u][/url along with a key track vehicle they are producing. Dodge and Nissan will both be incorporating the hydraulic transmission in about 2+ years. Nissan Cab-overs will have the track conversion, but that's a few more years away due to the BIG 3. It also gives a vehicle better gas efficiency.

I'm probably going to miss most of it knowing my luck....I'll be back home in America during all of January.
Why didn't he get his?
