Um the 300zx and 3000gt are no match for the SVX. Take a pretty much stock 300zx or 3000gt N/A 5mt and then put them on the line with my or any other 5mt SVX and watch them get blown away. My brother's best time with an N/A motor mostly stock was 15.1. Mine so far being a 14.8 with many other owners having better times that myself. The N/A 300zx has 4.18 gearing also giving it a slightly higher ratio but allowing it to cruize at about almost identical rpms as my car.

Wow... I really hope you're kidding.

Stock:

SVX = 3000GT N/A = 300ZX NA < Supra N/A < 3000GT VR-4 < 300ZX TT =< Supra TT << Viper GTS

You've gotta be crazy to compare a 230 hp 3600 lb boat (more like a yacht) with a 450 hp 3100 lb beast with more than double the displacement. I say 4000 awhp minimum to match that car in best case, and 500 awhp worst, depending on how much of a diet you put the SVX on.

Putting an MT in an SVX might get it past its N/A Japanese rivals like the 3000GT and 300ZX, but then you're not comparing on a level plane.

My '95 nearly took a N/A 5mt 300ZX. He slowly started to catch up to me at about 50-60mph. Im sure the '92 would have had no problem doing it.

p.s. this was not tested on the street

And to answer Silverspears question, the Viper GTS' 8.0lt V10 makes 400bhp and 465flbs

How did you launch your SVX? Is it auto? I could never get around computer holding me back on my launches with my auto SVX.

Havent had any kids my age tell me anything yet. But most of the kids on block are WAY to in the Bling bling thing. One guy has 26" rims on a 86 Cutlas!

Race him in the snow or rain. If he'll come out of the garage in that weather.

I believe Vipers are now up to 500HP. Not exactly sure what the mileage is DOWN to though.

[TomsSVX]

that is 500hp at the crank. wheel horses is what I am more interested in

The snow comment is pretty witty though... I like it!

Ok ok ok, here's some Viper specs. Not a lot but what some wnt to know.
Viper RT10 has a V10 pushrod OHV (Over Head Valve) 487 cubic inch 400 HP @5000 RPM and 465 ft lbs of torque @3600 RPM Keep in mind this is the 94 year.

The Viper GTS on the other hand has the V10 pushrod OHV 487 cubic inch with 450 HP and 490 ft lbs @3700 RPM. Yes this is the 96 year when the GTS first came out.

I hope this will answer any questions that anyone has on the Viper. I had a crush on the Viper since i saw the first glance at it in Hot rod magazine in 1990. I was 7 years old. So if you need any more info on the Viper i'll give you the most Honest answer i can. If i cant answer it i'll let you know, i wont try to make a guess because that will make me look like an ass. I dont like looking like a ASS!
