Oh man, makes me wish I'd worked harder when I was young. (Taking notes joe?)

500 Horse, 500 ft-lbs out of 5.4 liters!....emmm....power
Curiously enough, the Viper V10 produces the same numbers out of 8.1 liters.... hmmm me thinks Ford should use THEIR V10 in something....... mmmmm.....more power

At work I saw this video of the GT, a new mustang and the new cobra racing in like a warehouse situation. That thing handles, while the new mustang had to counter steer around corners, the GT didn't even attempt it. It is way cool.

That thing is nice, but you guys do know that the new Dodge viper srt-10 beat the Ford GT in the 1/4 mile in a recent test..................

That really says something about the standard production viper IMO.

Qouted from MotorTrend:
Both cars sound nice, I'd take either one, of course once I got the Viper, I'd immediatly trade it for a GT, come on! Look at that thing, it turn me on!
The GT assigned to us was prosaically dubbed "Engineering CP-04." That's "confirmation/certification prototype number four" in engineerspeak. In other words, something beyond an initial prototype, but not yet a pure, production piece, either. Of the 15 CPs built, some will be crashed (okay to wince here...), some will do emissions duty, others will serve the Powertrain Gods. And our gritty, well-worn tester is regularly taken out for torture by the ride and handling teams. Still, it's largely representative of what a real GT will perform like, but not quite.
The GT remained a bumper ahead all the way to 100, which the Viper reached in 8.4 seconds and the GT hit in just 8.1. By the time both cars hit the quarter-mile traps, the Viper caught its breath and managed to nip the GT by just 100th of a second
