Seeinga s how my little quip about domestics is being ignored, I might as well add my two cents in. If I had to choose a domestic, it would most definitely be the Hummer (which, incidentlly, happens the be the best llama whipper in the world). Next up would have to be the viper. Dodge forever!

Well, did you know that the Hummer is now owned by General Motors (Chevy's mother company)? As far as Dodge is concerned, the Viper is the most unrefined, unsophisticated thing (car?) on the road. A Corvette is nearly as fast, looks better, has more features, and costs half as much. The Mustang couldn't even begin to be compared to a Camaro, let alone a Corvette. As far as I'm concerned, GM is the best automotive manufacturer in the world. They are also the largest single car-maker on the planet. http://forums.winamp.com/ubb/smile.gif

Who cares about size? Microsoft is the biggest damned company on the planet, but that doesn't mean jack shit. And AMC isn't owned by GM, they made a strategic alliance. They sell their goods in GM dealerships, and GM makes a few designs for them. AMC is still independant. As for looks, that's personal choice. A corvette sure ain't 10 cylinders, and a muscle car isn't supposed to be refined. None of that namby-pamby italian handling for muscle cars! If you want something refined, get an import.

First of all, I said that Hummer (not AMC) is part of GM. The Hummer name was bought by General Motors. Second, the Viper and the Corvette are classified as 'sports' cars, not 'muscle' cars. A 1964 Pontiac GTO is a muscle car.

[sgtfuzzbubble011]

Let me ask you this, RM. What kind of car do you drive (judging from your posts, it's an import)?

Last I checked (which was within the last year), GM was still the biggest company on the planet, and many companies (e.g. Intel) were much bigger than Microsoft.
Now go buy a GM car. Not because they're the biggest company, but because they're the best (and because I'll make a little more money if you do http://www.beholder.net/forums/graphics/emoticons/lickout.gif ). Yes, Corvette vs. Viper is a matter of opinion, but the correct opinion is that Corvettes are stylistically superior. http://smilecwm.***********/cwm/blah.gif And I've never driven a Viper, but I do know that Corvettes are plenty fun to drive.

I drive a benz (no, I'm not a rich little bastard because of it), but if I had the $$$, i'd get a ferrari http://forums.winamp.com/ubb/smile.gif . Style is all a matter of choice, but most people agree that imports are better than domestics for style and engineering. Why else would caddillac brag that the catera is German engineered, and Daewoo advertise that there stuff hass Italian styling? I must admit, for specialty vehicles such as the Hummer and the TJ, nothing beats American (although the G-class Benz does come pretty close)

I'll stick with Corvettes and Camaros. Sure, Hondas have great engineering and Mercedes are built like bank vaults, but that doesn't make them superior to all others. Every car has its good points and its bad points. It's just that some have more good points than others, and some have more bad points than others. And, you're right, most of the time it boils down to personal opinion. But, there is no denying the facts.

I should have clarified. By import, I meant exclusive to European. Jap cars are good, but only if they are less than 35G. Unless of course, if it's a Mitsubishi.

A few opinions and facts:

Ford doesn't produce a 5.0 mustang any more. The GT and Cobra are 4.6 now. (fact)

Camaro's are ugly, but so are Mustangs. (opinion)
The Camaro has a modified Corvette engine, which can easily reach full power with only a few affordable modifications. (fact)

The Camaro definitely does not have enough power to run 11 seconds, not without a lot of modifications, at least. (fact)

The Viper has 450 horsepower, while the Corvette has only 350. The Viper also has this horsepower at a lower RPM than the Corvette, resulting in a better powerband. (fact)

The Corvette cannot even compete with the Viper (fact, sort of)

I'd prefer a nice European or Japanese import over any domestic car in a given price range (expect perhaps for the Viper). Given the choice of domestics, I'd most likely go with a Chrysler. (fact)

[InvisableMan]

you go and stick with your facts and opinions, ill buy you a daewoo, and ill stick with my chevelles, el caminos, camaros, and mustangs.(j/k):p

You're mistaken about those two "facts" right there. The Corvette coupe and convertible both have 345 horsepower and 350 pounds-feet of torque, while the current Z06 has 385 horsepower and 385 pounds-feet of torque. Next year's Z06 will have 405 horsepower and 400 pounds-feet of torque. The current Z06 can already match the Viper's 4-second zero to sixty time, so the new Z06 will beat it. The current Vette also matches the Viper's lateral acceleration rating on the skidpad, and completely outperforms the Viper when it comes to braking ability. And just because the Viper has more horsepower at lower rpms, that doesn't mean anything. Torque is the main factor. And I find it funny that the Viper has 500 pounds-feet of torque (115 pounds-feet more than the current Z06), but still can't beat the Vette.

:)

I was referring to the standard Viper and Corvette, not the Z06. The stock Corvette does have 350 horses, according to the chevy web-site. I was also not talking about future years. The 2003 dodge Viper will have 520 horsepower and 540 foot/pounds of torque, but that's not what I was talking about.

Horsepower does matter, and the fact that it is in a lower powerband means that there is a good bit more torque on tap during the starting acceleration. Just so you know, horsepower and torque have a direct conversion. I forget the formula, but having one generally means having the other (unless you are driving a diesel truck, in which case you might have 2000 foot-pounds of toque and only 200 horses).

I'm not sure about the zero-sixty speed or the braking, so I can't say anything there, but they are both pulling 4.0 to sixty, then they are outrunning the Porsche 911 twin turbo (4.1 seconds) andI seriously doubt that.

Dodge Viper looks better, I think. If I had the cash, I'd get the Viper, and leave the Corvettes for the spoiled, rich teenagers.

[Jstalilwyrd]

Oh yes, and a Viper wouldn't make you out to be a spoiled, rich teenager (unless you're not a teenager... heh). Love the Viper now. I've liked it till this point. In '03, it will look like shit. I'm all for the '92-'94(?) roadster with the side exhausts. I heard about cooling problems in regards to the first-gen Vipers though, but plenty of curves and good power. The nice thing is, you know it's a Viper coming down the road, and you can't help but look. Same goes with the Vette.

The one great thing about the Corvette that most other cars don't have... great looks in each generation. The Corvette has always been the car of the time. I can't name one generation of Corvettes that looked bad at all. That, and it's not all about image but has the mojo to back it up, all making Corvette the true American sports car.

Well, I'd have to buy my own Viper if I wanted one, so it would be my money. I would be a rich teenager, but not spoiled. :)

The side pipes on the older Vipers were sweet. I do miss that.
Corvettes do look nice. I just think that the Viper looks better. I haven't seen an '03, yet.

P.S. If I could have any car of all time, it would probably a '59 vette. 'twas sweet

[Jstalilwyrd]

Here we go... '03 Viper RT/10. The GTS-R looks a little better. Side exhausts are back, and 50 added horses (the GTS-R supposedly has 70 added, but they might not make a street model).

Ok. I just wanted to relate that the Corvette offers more variety in styles and options than the Viper, and that they either match or exceed the Viper in every aspect of performance. The Z06 is just as quick as the Viper, but the Coupe and Convertible are a little slower. So? They all cost half as much. :) And since the Viper doesn't have options like the Vette, then it's perfectly right for me to compare the Z06 to it. Well, you get my point. ;)

Quick correction: Torque is rated in pounds-feet, not foot-pounds. :)

And you are right. Horsepower and torque are directly related...

Horsepower - n. a unit for computing the power of an engine, equivalent to 550 pounds-feet per second.

In other words, 1 horsepower is the ability to move 550 pounds for a distance of 1 foot in an elapsed time of 1 second. But what gives you that ability? Torque. :)

And yes, the Viper and the Vette run right along side the 911 Twin Turbo. :D

PS- Oops. You're right, the Vette has 350 horsepower. Got my figures a little mixed up. :)

I don't believe I was arguing this point. The Viper has more torque. It is a good thing. I wasn't trying to deny this, and I said effectively the same thing, minus the definition.

I can't believe that the Vette can keep up with the Twin Turbo, but I don't know the official acceleration times, so I'm in no position to argue.

Uh huh... And what does torque have to do with lifting weights? Torque is rotational, not linear. Think of it this way:

Take a foot-long wrench and place it on a bolt. Now, place five pounds of pressure on the end of the wrench. What do you get? Five pounds-feet of torque. :) (btw, pounds-feet and pounds-foot are interchangeable, but not with foot-pounds cuz it's not the same thing.)

Did you read the definition?

A unit of ... work ... equal to the work ... raising one pound ... one foot.

Torsional and linear motion can be measured with the same units. For than matter, horsepower can be converted to joules, watts, or calories. It sounds to me as if you are describing a foot pound and calling it a pound foot.

"In Watt's judgement, one horse can do 33,000 foot-pounds of work every minute." - howstuffworks.com

Watt is the creator of the Horsepower unit, as well as the, you guessed it, watt.

"Imagine that you have a big socket wrench with a 2-foot-long handle on it and you apply 50 pounds of force to that 2-foot handle. What you are doing is applying a torque, or turning force, of 100 foot-pounds (50 pounds to a 2 foot long handle) to the bolt. You could get the same 100 foot-pounds of torque by applying one pound of force to the end of a 100-foot handle or 100 pounds of force to a one-foot-long handle." - howstuffworks.com

Notice the use of foot pounds. In other words torque is measured in foot-pounds. A pound foot may be the same thing as a foot pound. I don't know. Until you mentioned it, I'd never heard anyone refer to a pound foot.

No, it's not the same thing. You were originally talking about horsepower. I stated that torque and horsepower are two different things, even though they are directly related. That's what I was trying to emphasize: they're not the same thing. :)

To sum up: IT'S NOT THE SAME THING. :D

I did not say they are the same thig. I said they are directly related. Why do you keep bringing this up. {b]I wasn't arguing about this in the first place.[/b] I know what torque is. I know what horsepower is. I know how they are related. I know they are not the same thing, and I never said that they are.

Well, typos or not, I know what you mean. So it's cool. :)

And I'm glad to hear that you know motors and engines aren't the same thing. :)

For those of you that don't know:

Engine (n.) - a device that converts fuel (gasoline, diesel, etc) into mechanical energy (torque).

Motor (n.) - a device that converts one form of energy (electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, etc) into mechanical energy (torque).

[deathazre]

physics to the rescue!
torque: kg*m/s^2
so 1 newton of force (9.8 kg*m/s^2) will accellerate a 1-kg object at 9.8 m/s^2, or 32 feet per second per second. (this is the amount of force gravity exerts on a 1 kg object)
horsepower: kg*m/s times some silly number
thus for equal horsepower max speed is the inverse of weight

don't forget, it's not the torque PEAK that counts, it's the AVERAGE torque, plus staying as close to that torque peak as you can when shifting (and don't tell me you don't shift... automatics SUCK!)

and by the way, subaru engines rule :-b 250+ horsepower out of a 3.0L flat 6... my Ranger 2.9L V6 gets maybe 175 to 200 on a good day :eek:

Any decent car should be able to hit 100mph with no problems. It's not really that fast at all.

I've gotten my car to 125, but I always run out of straight-away. With the pedal all the way down, the fourth-gear shift point isn't until ~110. (sorry, it is an automatic. I wish it was a manual)

/me LOVES the 407 ETR.

My bro hit 180kph (108mph? My math might be wrong) in his Sentra (well, partially mine too), and maintained it (well, close to it) for 10 minutes. No fuzz :)
