Love the viper but for me....
69 dodge dart, painted caddy pearl white with a 06 5.7 Hemi. I got 22mpg in my 5100 lb truck that ran mid 13's with a warmed over 5.7 and 3.92 gears so in a 3000 lb dart I should see at least 20 even with steep gears due to double overdrive, It has a huge trunk, room for 5, dosen't cost shit to register, no smog, it should be good for high 11's mostly stock, fuel injection, a/c, and with millions of 5.7's already in trucks parts are everywhere. Damn still pimpin to bad I'm being a fag and selling it before I'm done with it. [Frown] maybe I should keep it.......

well if you're going that route, an 03 cobra is supposed to be capable of 188? stock with the speed limiter removed, seats 4, hp is exhaust and a pulley away, and I see em now for 20k ish

I believe their limited to 155 but if the limiter is removed from the computer and you do the math with 3.55's I think their capable of it. I once asked Miles why he didn't take his limiter off and he said " I've hit 155 so many times I don't trust myself" and that was only his 2nd month having the car.

Sorry about your friend. But these cars will NOT do 185mph from the factory by just taking out the rev limiter. 03-04 Cobras are not very stable at all at 160mph. I could not imagine 185 in one

If you have driven a C6 or a 03 Cobra you will be walking away in the vette.
