360 VS viper (experience)

What the hell ever gave you the Idea that a viper could even compare to a 360 in the first place?

 

I'd figure the 360 had more space from the start. Everyone complains about the inside of Vipers being really cramped.

But you're lucky to have driven both!

 

Would be interesting to try a V12. Like a 550 or 575. OMG * 2.

 

That's what I was thinking. Horses can beat the crap out of snakes, it's a common fact

 

That right there should have given it away!
While i somewhat appreciate the crudeness of Vipers, especially previous models with no ABS, traction control and such, the car as a whole is lacking in every aspect.

 

I don't mean to start a war here but I am fortunate to have both the 360 and the viper. I sold my srt10 but kept my supercharged GTS. Anyway the viper has a lot more hp than the 360, 300+ versus 490 stock and nearly double the torque.

Most people believe the vipers are only good in a straight line but I have driven mine on a road course many times and I know a few people that do extremely well in autocross.

The real difference in the cars is the driving experience. To drive the viper hard and fast takes 110% concentration while the Ferrari is much more refined and smooth. Both can be very fast in the right hands.

Again, they are different animals.

 

lol vipers are trash! Read the reviews ( thats imo so dont start the flaming )

 

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I think issue may be no seat time in the viper. As I said they are two different cars and the viper is much faster in a straight line. We are getting 11.90 with stock vipers and stock tires. Takes a bit of practice but I don't think any 360 will do that. That being said I wanted the ferrari for a long time and now that I have one I am not disappointed in anything about the car. In fact it gets more runs through the mountains here than the viper ever did.

 

Yes, its the sound that makes the fcar so special, among other things. Vipers are great cars though and I miss mine. Gib has obviously never driven one, or certainly not a good one to call them trash.

 

Well said, Leonard....... I happen to own a Viper as well and i have driven several 360's.... The 360 does have more room (more comfortable)then the viper but ultimately they are born and bread differently.... My next purchase is a 360 and i happen to love both cars......
That being said.. Don't harp on the Viper... Most cars cant even touch it (especially with a twin turbo heffner pushing 906 RWHP!!!! w/91octane!!!)

 

i owned both cars but they are totally different cars to compare. viper is very fast car but ferrari is much advanced and easy car to drive but they are too different to compare. now, if i can only have one car than i would choose ferrari over viper anyday. my viper was supercharged and it made 790rwhp and ferrari put down 325rwhp other day. far as track time goes i think viper is faster.

 

Its hardly worth comparing a twin turbo tune to a stock car.

 

I'll compare stock to stock....... You ever drive either????? I bet not..
They are different animals like leonard said... Simple.....

 

I bet you have nothing in your garage that can compare to the performance of a Viper...
You talk out of ignorance.........

 

Just to be accurate, I drove my viper cross country two years ago when it was stock and averaged 24mpg. Not bad for 8 liters. It is not as easy to drive as the ferrari but a lot of fun in its own right.

 

yes i am a teenager, but i know more about cars then most people will ever know. Just think, without driving, i have way more time to research and read about cars. I consider that i am a teenager a very very good thing car wise.
