hmm has over 700 hp and only can do a 12.8? Something is up with that. Either not getting traction or something. for a 12.8 it has a pretty high mph 121. I think that means it doesnt get S*** for traction.

Mallett is a doofus. I've seen lots of interviews with the guy and he's about as cheezy as they come.

lingenfelter.com go there and check out the TT427 vette that kills the viper in every single aspect of performance, looks better, and costs less.

u couldnt give me a dodge, not even a viper, just MO but I think there ugly, the pic of the viper there looks like the race model, if youve seen the vette race model than u would change your mind about the viper.

It's not that i don't like the vette, if you have ever been to south florida, then you would understand......

They are EVERYWHERE, I mean i can't drive somewhere without seeing a vette, not even to go 5 miles to get gas..........they start to loose their coolness when they are everywhere, including my school parking lot, now i don't see Vipers everywhere i go.........they are common, I'm not joking when i say i see them more then i see 3rd Gens.....

But anyway let's not turn this into a Dodge Viper vs. Corvette thread.....

The Mallett Vettes are sweet as heck!! They make some slick trucks as well.

I took a few pics of both at the Corvette FunFest in Effingham, IL last year. You can check them out here:
