And for the record. No. I haven't driven a Viper. Or a Supra or an Evo.

I have been researching them constantly, and found out they do have quite a bit of problems, and when they do have problems, they are incredibly expensive to repair. I live in Colorado, and I really do not want to drive a peice of **** beater during the winter...I'd rather enjoy it in an Evo. Not to mention when you buy a Evo new, you have the safety in your mind knowing where the car has been and how it has been treated.
did you not hear of Mark Tozers Supra? 900HP at the wheels and He use to take His daughter to school in it. And some of these Supra's with high HP figures actually get off the line reasonably well considering their power. Expensive tyres are genrally a must but then, you'd expect high maintenance costs for something that powerful. And 500HP Is very streetable in a Supra. Alot of Supra's get around 460HP with BPU (Basic Power Upgrades) and that only means the usual intake, exhaust, downpipe and EBC mods.
So you complain about the Supra being a not-very streetable car at around 500HP, yet you want to own a twin turbo Viper?

... so before you quote me again maybe you should get of this "confused state of mind", and reply with something meaningful.

I was never a sucker for american cars, allthough the viper is cool... I would rather drive a supra.

Of course the Viper's gonna make awesome power. That's what happens when you twin-turbocharge an 8-litre V10!! But I think Supra's demand a reasonable amount of respect for what they're capable of.

500+HP they have problems?? You haven't been doing your research very well man. Supra's are known for their reliability even when modified. They're one of the most reliable sports cars you can get.

I know what I am talking about, I don't just go around saying random ****. Read that before you call me out again, and I know what BPU is, and BPU Supras do NOT dyno at 460, it's 360-410, go to www.mkiv.com and read before you say that.

all you people saying how skyline is the king... well, in a perfect world yes, but you guys have to understand that the supra remains king due to the fact that it can be legally purchased in the us while the skyline cannot. nobody can deny the skyline's dominance as the ultimate jdm...
Just bec supra can legally purchase in this country doesnt mean it the king...
were talking about overall performance and achievement of both vehicle.

TT vipers win end of story there is no cometition. 4 TT vipers now trapping over 160mph all under 30psi all are street cars with full accessories.
It's just a matter of time "There is no replacement for displacement when you add twins to you're 8.0liter+ viper!!"

I have the video of the TT Viper (yellow wit stripes) that holds the world record for fastest Viper. Pretty fast, but the record for fastest street Supra is faster
