Where's your VTEC God now? Also, is someone willing to donate tires to the Viper2K clause?

But its the lame 500hp version, let me know when they get the full fat 600hp version in there.

I mean, yeah if it was in the budget, they should have gotten the 600hp version. Though I think they are externally the same size.

What is this traction you speak of?

i think that the F20c (and to a lesser extent, F22c1) is a marvel of engineering and to see it dropped in the finely tuned, balanced chassis for a heavy pushrod v8 is just ridiculous. The S2000 was never a straight line car and should not be.

It's like James Woods in that last or second-to-last scene in Contact, "That is interesting."

Good thing they put a V10 Viper motor in it instead of a v8 then...

That's what on-throttle over-steer is for.

the amount of people who posted just to correct my error in how many cylinders that truck motor has is astounding

"Heavy" and "pushrod V8" don't really go together, unless you're talking truck engines. The Chevy small block is close enough in weight to the Honda 4-cylinder that what accessories you put on it decides which weighs more.

The Viper V10 is heavier, but it also has 4x the torque, which further magnifies the power difference. It's nice to be able to accelerate without a double downshift.
