Not so fast my friend. 918 is heavier but 200hp up on the Viper and I think any down force loss to the Viper will be made up by the awesome hybrid torque and all wheel drive. I say no.

The Porsche is likely to be faster one lap but that's it. It has to do the record by expunging all the juice in the batteries. After that the Viper will have it behind every lap.

Here's Tim Kuniskis @ SRT.

Oh, I thought you were talking about F-cars. Nice to date, too undependable and costly to marry. Vipers are H5C10 on the Hot-Crazy Matrix in my book. I know, I know, 600 ft-lbs. Similar to my F350. Makes as much noise, too.

Saw a Viper today. Striking. I stared. Never drooled.

Yes, but it is still the **** that makes your neck hurt. I want one, but my wife would tear me apart.

Comparing to the 918 is stupid. It should be compared to our gt3 or gtRS. Either way I am sure it will be much faster.

Love that it says faux alcantara

I've never owned or driven a viper. Honestly, the recipe on paper - especially with this gen's aero - sure sounds like a winner. V10, 645hp, 355 rear tires, adjustable downforce, 6MT. Also really like the 1of1 design options ...too bad it looks a bit cheesy in any color.

If only it came with a PDK... Even the z06 comes with an auto now, though it's not very good.

^^ booooooo!

Every car comes with a PDK now. Why the hell would you want that? (Rhetorical, please don't answer)

The regular viper is much faster compared to a GT3 or a GTRS. The current Viper laps a 1:33 at Laguna Seca. Randy Pobst has even done a 1:30 on slicks with a Viper. Until the GT3s can do this. Then yeah they would be in the same league.

I just love the Viper. It is completely rude, crude, and socially unacceptable. It's polarizing, love it or hate it. Most of the hate comments are kind of silly analogies about women. It's funny how people don't like the manual transmission, when the 997 GT3 is prized for it being the last of the manual transmissions. If your primary purpose is to use the car on track, I really do think the new ACR Is a legitimate option to the unobtainium GT3RS. The manual transmission is arguably more engaging to drive, and I have no doubt the car will have serious pace and the ability to be beaten on track. Love it or hate it, it would be foolish not to at least respect it.

I will bow down to your superior experience with women of this type. As for cars, the nice thing is you can have a lot of them, and none of them will sue you or stab you in your sleep.
