The best american car as of right now is the Corvette Z06 :) The Dodge Viper is too gosh darn expensive and is anti-american in its price. The Cobra R is still a very badass car, but I'm gonna go with the Z06 as of right now. Of coarse, nothing can beat the late 60's Mustang Mach 1 in my mind, but thats just me! So PISS OFF!! :evil:

Viper to much money :?: Dont make me laugh :lol: Dude the Viper is as good as all the other fast cars like lambo and all the others..they all cost WAY more than the Viper...$80,000 in the US for a car with such power is very low for that type of car...most cars with that kind of power cost WAY more...So YOU PISS OFF :evil: :roll:

Viper is expensive, if you think so, you get a very low tech truck engine in a heavy car (anyway i like the american torque monster), but viper is not nearly good at quality as european sport cars, not to talk about technological, but that is not the idea.

As for me, SVT Mustang Cobra R, or Cobra 03

Ohhh, 80,000 isnt that much money HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, unless your dad is Bill Gates, or you own some hella nice company, WHICH YOU DONT, THATS ALOT OF MONEY!!!!! And yes, compared to the Lamborghni, it isnt that much, But compared to the Corvette, or Mustang, IT IS!!! :evil: :evil: :evil:

Favorite american car right now. To be realistic, the SRT-10. It's about time dodge used that 500hp V-10 in somehting other than the viper. My other one is the 500hp supercharged V-8 Focus SVT from Accurate Technologies Incorperated. It uses the supercharged 390hp V-8 From the SVT Mustang, and tuned it to make 500 RWHP. Yes, it's rear wheel drive drive. They put the drivetrain from the mustang on it too. Sure, the whole operation costs about $50,000 without the car. But think about it. It's as much hrsepower as a viper in a car a third of the weight and three more seats.

I guess, the weight balance is ****, but americans like straight line power, thats what muscle is about so i guess it's good for the market, anyway, my favorite is the Z06, and i saw some spy pics of the Blue Demon (next gen Z06 with the 500HP small block V8) and it looks great, i guess the next vette will kick some major ass

The Lingenfelter Vette is no joke. Twin Turbo V-8!! But since we are talking factory I assume...I like the Z06 as well. Best all around performer. Viper is badass too though. The only thing is it costs way more than a Vette.

My choice would be either the Corvette Z06 or the newest Viper.

Jul 14, 2003, 3:22 PM
I just read an article in car and driver and it was about the ligenfelter Escalade EXT. They said the ligenfelter vette was fast, but it had so much power it always spun the wheels at takeoff. They found it real annoying when a punk kid with a stang beat the pants of there vette because they were left at the stoplight hoping for traction, but instead just kept sitting there filling the street with smoke. Thats why if i was going to buy a ligenfelter, i would get the twin turbo 427 ligenfelter escalade. Even though the escalade is the most retarded truck ever, ligenfelter put a 7 liter twin turbo 700hp V-8 into the engine bay and made it the best SUV ever. Come on, which would you rather have, a truck that can haul 4 people and stuff around and still beat any thing up to a Ferrari, or a car that you suish into and spend $400 a day for new tire because all you do is burn them out? I'd take the sclade. But if i had a choice between the Escalade and the focus i mentoined earlier, i'd take the focus.

1.97 seconds....need I say more....The Lingenfelter is one of the most badass cars out there :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Jul 15, 2003, 10:58 PM
1.97 seconds in the 0-60? Thats pretty hard to belive, considering the fastest accelerating car ever is the Ford RS2000. It hits 60 in something like 2.5 seconds.

He is right mate, there is a Camaro ZL1 faster than 2.5 seconds, also some porsche and the Hennessey can get 2.4, but the lingenfelter can get 1.9, also the BOSS 10Liter mustang can get 1.9 0-60mph

The Dodge Magnum would be a very sweet car if they ever produced it. The only thing in prduction right now from the States that I would lay down the money for(if I had it) would be the Cadillac CTS-v. Thats one fine piece of engineering.

Do me a vaver. When the new supercharge RED LINE ION comes out...Test drive it and tell me if it was fast :roll:

Okay, its the best looking stock Saturn I've ever seen and the 5speed manny tranny is a good one. Six speed is standard for a real performance vehicle now days though. But there's not solid engine output nubmers yet. So #1, you're assuming a whole hellovalot. #2 the ESTIMATED numbers are 200 horse power and a 0-60 around 7 seconds. Yeah, thats fast......for a Saturn. What do you expect out of an engine called the Ecotec?

Okay, I like alot of VW's but I'm not going to say I love every one of them, don't be a stupid Brand Loyalist. So, you looove the Dodge Sprinter and the Saturn LW200 too Speed Freak? One can only come to that conclusion from your thoughtless statement.

Why hasn't anyone talked about the mosler mt900 :?: :?: :?:

It's got a 'muscle' engine with a euro body

Who could ask for more :?:

Raith83
Jul 19, 2003, 9:52 PM
Wow, the Mosler mt900 really is a mean car. It's insane performance outweighs most issues some people would have with looks. Despite all this, I'd still rather have a Dodge Magnum when it comes out next year. I think it looks very hard and serious. I'd enjoy it as a 'true' American car, which is whats in question here. The Mosler is nice, but I'd like a large bumbpin' system and the ability to haul four of my best freinds around town, crusin to the beats. If I happen to pull up beside anything besides a WRX, Evo VIII, or a nicely tuned compact or older muscle car, I'm gonna burn it bad when the light turns green. I'd shop around the Mopar bin if I had the dough and make it a sure thing I'd beat 9 outta 10 though. :mrgreen: There's always gonna be a car out there better than yours, you can't win em all.

Evo_power
Jul 20, 2003, 2:54 AM
Ummm...dont mean to rain on your parade dude, but the Evo VIII and the STi, both have faster 0-60 times....so, sorry dude, but its just not gonna happen. Unless you tweaked out your engine as well, you'd be the one getting beaten 9 out of 10 times. Favorite american car is still the Lingenfelter Corvette :twisted: Damn its fast!

Raith83
Jul 20, 2003, 5:03 AM
Righto! If you don't melt the tires at launch. I think it's wierd how it has a 4 speed Auto tranny(on the Lingenfelter). And still, I want to haul people and shtufff around. I'd rather cruise than buzz around in the allmighty STi or Evo VIII. (which I'd take the Evo 8 of course, but American cars are in question right now)
I'm not dissin' luxury cars, I was reffering to Lux Utes. The BMW, Mecerdes, Lexus, and other pricey brands. I think the Magnum will at the very leat be less than the cheapest of these Luxury Sport Utes, making it a better contender.

You need some serious rubber for that car. I want to shake John L's hands. See guys...American cars can kick ass. Give us some credit. :wink: Its nice to know that the Vette is still an awesome handling car. But with that much power it would be something interesting to tame.

Raith83
Jul 23, 2003, 10:21 PM
I don't wanna even think aobut how much those tires cost by themselves, let alone how many times you'd ahve to replace them. Even on accident you could probably spin them and watse a good 5 miles standing still :wink: (hey, wouldn't an AWD Vette rule!??!)

Evo_power
Jul 24, 2003, 4:06 AM
Yeah, The Lingenfelter Corvette that raced an F-18 SuperHornet and beat it HARDCORE in the 0-60! And they make BETTER tires that grip faster for that car, its not they are just taking shitty Honda tires and slappin um on that monster. And yes you can roast um for a while...if your a total dipshiat who doesnt know how to let off the clutch! If you drove it even DECENTLY, you should still be able to get a 2.5 0-60, which is still faster then 97% of all cars in the WORLD! And an AWD Vette would have its downsides, you would have to get a smaller engine probably to allow the front wheels to provide power. This car isnt meant for handling, its meant for goin HELLA F'N FAST! :twisted: :twisted:

Word to ya' motha' White Knight :wink:

I was just thinkging of acceleration actually. More contact with the ground would mean the best distribution of the power I'd think. I wasn't even considering, though, that the engine might be downgraded. I'd hope they would be able to modify the body and chassis and re work the engineering, not some cut and paste job, ya know?

Evo_power
Jul 24, 2003, 7:55 PM
Of coarse no one really knows how well the Corvette handles, not unless you buy that one car and driver magazine that tested it against a whole ass lot of other cars, some of them being the Autothority Porche 911 which had its power boosted way up, and a few Venoms and other hella fast cars. The Lingenfelter manage to beat all of them, and it wasnt just a HOW FAST DOES IT GO compitition. They had a coarse set up too and other tests that it had to go through, so while it may not be AS nimble as a low down Ferrari or the McLaren F1 for the extreme example, it can still handle itself pretty good if you know what you are doing. Car and driver still might have it on there website, or you can always just buy Mischief 3000, a movie, which has the test, and it proves that the Lingenfelter won. So they put lotsa work into that car, they did'nt just slap a big freggin engine into a car that could'nt handle it.

I don't know. An AWD vette would be pretty tough. I think it's a little overkill. I mean, who really NEEDS a vette than can accelerate so fast it shoots your eyeballs through your head? I sure don't. A nice Z06 would do me fine. Maybe a couple of extra horsepower would be cool, but nothing like the ligenfelter.

well corvette and viper are powerfull machines, but a sport car is more about the feeling when you drive it, no just the power
i dont like Sports cars just becouse they are powerfull i think is more than that
i dont like american cars too much becouse their quality, and their technology, but there is one american car that i like, i think it have personality and style
i am talking about the "Saleen S7"
the viper looks good but is too much power for that chasis and suspension.
also is too big the engine for that power, you will se the quality of the engine when you compare the size of the engine, with the power...

It looks like it's smiling and really laid back. A viper, now thats a scary car.It looks like it's going to eat you!

Jul 30, 2003, 12:35 AM
One should fear the ligenfelter Vette because of its frightening power. I don't know where you live but in Maryland vettes can be seen at almost any stop light on a nice day. It wouldn't be uncommon to see a couple porsche driving along side them as well. They don't attract quite as much attention as you would believe they should. People here only care to turn heads to cars with tags in excess of $100,000 or something that has been thoroughly tuned and modified.

LOL, yeah, convertables seem to have that effect on most women, if its either a Cavalier or a Miata. Yeah, maybe I'm a wussy, but if I ever heard an engine revving loudly and checked out my mirrors I might need a change of pants if the Lengenfelter was there.

Quickest car in the world :P, the best straight line performance i the right track with reight tires, they wouldnt get the 1.9 at an street, there is no way (still), i love the lingenfelter too, but as for a Corvette i would get the Guldstrand, it hits 100 in 3.9 with normal tires and a launch in second, also the quarter get under 12.4 again, launching at second

Ok, maybe on the street it would'nt get 1.9...I'd settle for 2.5! Or 3! Its still faster then nearly everything out there.

I dont really know, the car is not awd remember that, i guess you can launch as hard as you want, but you will be eating your own smoke, i think the car will do in 3.8~4 with street tires, but after the launch you cold constantly get mid 10s in the quarter. If we were talikng about the RS2000, i guess you could get it's 2.5 0-100 all day long

when i get rich, im getting a 1967 Shleby GT500, because in my opinion, that has to be the best american car ever made... :D. honestly... with an enigne that gets 4 miles to the gallon, how can you disagree?
but i do give props to the Lingenfelter Vette. 0-60 in 1.97 seconds? Incredible to say the least. And Did you know? When you step on the accelerator, you pull a little under 1 and a half G's? unbelievable.....

DarkVenom666
Aug 07, 2003, 8:46 PM
The Lingenfelter Vette is the fastest accelerating car indeed, but please, because the Venoms are a bit slower, don't pretend like they're nothing at all. A Lingenfelter Vette and a Hennesey Venom aren't that different, when it comes to accelerating. The Hennesey Venom 1000TT reaches 60mp/h, in just 2 sec. Let's see, that 0.03 sec 'slower' than the Lingenfelter. Anyways, i'll get back to the topic. I like all Vipers best ( i'm not sure about the new designs, though... ), but the absolute #1, has to be the Viper GTS Concept '93. The most beautifull vehicle for sure. As for the production models, i like the GTS '96 best. Too bad they didn't leave the side exhausts on it ( although they were useless... ). Why didn't they keep them on the Vipers? That's what's made the first generation of Vipers the best looking :( .

Good greif. I just wanna say, no-ones favorite car is better or worse than one anothers. Just because car A goes faster than car B doesn't make it less anyones favortie. It's personal opinion. Good lord, thats why I still stand by that if I could have any American car, EVER, it would be the up-coming Dodge Magnum. I've said why I preffered it, so lets just keep this all in mind though. :roll:

DarkVenom666
Aug 08, 2003, 7:32 PM
Yes, you are completely right about that. But, about the Magnum... To be honest, i can't exactly see what makes the Magnum that special to you. Personally, i think it's just a almost standard truck. I like the Ram SRT-10 way better. Actually, i consider it to be the best truck i've ever seen. But hey, we all have our own thoughts and opinions and i think we should all apreciate them :wink: .

Mine's the Hennessey Venom 1000 Twin Turbo. A Viper SRT/10 with over 1000 hp and torque.

Yes, you are completely right about that. But, about the Magnum... To be honest, i can't exactly see what makes the Magnum that special to you. Personally, i think it's just a almost standard truck. I like the Ram SRT-10 way better. Actually, i consider it to be the best truck i've ever seen. But hey, we all have our own thoughts and opinions and i think we should all apreciate them :wink: .

I don't know what you thought the Magnum was. Yeah, it's the name of a line of engines, but the CAR that I like is called the Magum SRT-8(if that helps any). It's definitly NOT a truck

Rear Wheel Driven "sports tourer" with supercharged V-8 slammin' out 430 hp and 480lb-ft of torque help ALOT in making it "that special" to me. As I've said before, its the ultimate cruising machine. Bring your freinds along for some very way cooool rides. You can Mopar the shizlle outta the engine if you wanted to and it has lots of space for long trips, whats to lose? :twisted:

Haha, what was i thinking!?! I completely forgot it was that vehicle, i thought it was the new truck concept from Dodge :oops: . I'm sorry Raith, i don't know what i was thinking back then. Now you've refreshed my mind, i now know what you see in the Magnum. I also think it's a very, very nice car. But the ultimate tourer for me, still is the Viper RT/10 ( you have to be kidding, you mean the SRT-10, right? No, i'm not. ). But i agree, the Magnum is great for touring, i think.

Yeah, the S2000 can kick it hard, simply stock. Just imagine whata good 10k of tuning can put to the ground. I tell ya! When I get rich.......

I was talking about Ford RS2000 EVO not S2000, RS2000 is AWD MR car, with 600bhp and low weight, it would sprint to 60 in 2.4 sec in gravel or dust or anything

And to DarkVenom i preffer the SRT-10, is a good evolution and by far a better performer than the RT-10

Yes, the SRT-10 has better performance, but i think the RT/10 looks way better. And performance doesn't matter that much, when we're talking about cars like these. But i understand, i think most people like the SRT-10 over the older RT/10.

Uh-oh, I think I changed my mind now. Well, it's kinda a toss up now of the Cadillac CST-V and the Dodge Magnum SRT-8 now. Depends on how much the Dodge is going to cost. I'm going to consider value too since the CTS-V is probable going to be a Bimmer beater and for under 50k USD. The Dodge should have comprable vaule. The Cadi is definitly better handling and probably will be better quality so i think I'm leaning that way now.
