YES this is a rant. If your sick of my rants you can stop reading now. But anyway....My August Car & Driver showed up in the mailbox yesterday and on the front cover in big yellow letters. America VS. The World! The ultimate track test. So I''m Stoked! Their going to run the American Badasses (Zo6 & Viper) against a GT2 and the Skyline. Well this should come to no ones suprise. The Viper SRT-10 ACR completely destroyed the other 3 car in this run what ya brung shoot out. They tested them at Buttonwillow raceway. And the viper was 4 seconds faster around the race track than the next closest car the Porsche GT2. Lap times, Viper-1.55.7, GT2-1.59.7, Skyline GT-R-2.01.1 Corvette Z06-2.01.7! Ok thats an ass wooping but it gets better! The Viper also had the best 1/4 mile time of 11.8@126. The Porsche did manage to tie the Vipers 11.8 but it only trapped 121. The Corvette was clocked at 11.9@124and the GT-R pulled up the rear with a sad 12.6@111. Breaking, Viper! 6 feet better than the next best car. Skidpad, Viper with a 1.08G to the next best 1.03 in the Corvette! The others didn''t even break a G! 50 MPH to 70 MPH lane change? Anyone wanna guess what won?. The Viper swept every performance catagory. Now here are the rankings. In 4th place......The Corvette ZO6 in 3rd place......The Viper SRT-10 ACR Second place went to the GT2. And to be honest the porsche did deserve this placement. But first place to the GT-R????
WTF? When you compare luxuary cars. Talk about the leather and the refinement. When you compare econboxes compare fuel milage. When you compare performance cars....Duh use performance to decide the winner. The Skyline won because it was the easiest to operate. Well if it was so easy to operate why couldn''t they put up better numbers with it?
My rankings
1. Viper SRT-10 ACR
2.Porsche 911 GT2
3. Corvette Zo6
4. Skyline GT-R

well maybe it was more bang for the buck? im talking out of my ass cause i didnt look up prices. either way if those were the numbers it doesnt deserve 1st even if it was the cheapest
Finally , I've been waiting for a test with the Viper ACR vs the gtr. I'm so sick of the fanboi's. This is refreshing to see....although I was pretty much expecting it...Can't wait to check the mail for my C&D issue!!

FXXX car and driver. I cancelled my subscription after "Cheap Speed". If you don't know what that is, go to youtube, and type cheap speed into the search field, you'll be pissed after you watch that retarded video that mirrors the equally retarded article.
