2007 Porsche Carrera 2 Coupe or 2007 Doge Viper? Which would you prefer and which would win a street race?

Answer 1

well, in a street on paper race a viper would win.

In a REAL race (meaning race track), with a real (ie: non-professional) driver, the carrera 2 would probably win. The viper is very unrefined and dificult to drive.

For every day, the porsche is also the better car. more comfortable, a much nicer interior (hard to get worse than the vipers, its pathetic), and overall is a much more liveable car.

personally, i would buy niether though. Id buy a couple year old 911 turbo. far more refined than a viper, faster than a 997 C2.

with the assumption that the cars would be modified, the viper would be a better choice. theyre wickedly tunable. Quite a few 1000+hp street cars out there.

for what i do (race on tracks, not on streets, and not 1/4 mile), the 997 is a better car. For a street race, the viper would win.

that being said, I would take a Lotus Exige S or a Z06 over either.

Answer 2

Viper, and Viper. I've driven the Dodge Viper before (2000 year, customer vehilce, and 1998 year, race track vehicle) and my god, you could smoke the tires in that thing forever until you took your foot of the gas. I loved everything about it, aside from the puny rear window and the exhaust pipes running inside the doorcils. I havn't personally driven a Carrera before, My boss has, and he said that he like driving the Viper better (his brother had one for a wile). I personally, would choose a good old American powered car, and If I had my choice, the Ford GT would be in the list, The original, The Ford GT40, was deemed the "Ferrari Slayer" it is an amazing peice of machinery, and history. (Random fact, It was named the GT40 because it was a GT styled car, I'm not entirely sure on the reasoning behing that choice, and the 40 was susposed to represent the hieght of the vehicle, however, it was 40.5 inches tall, not 40 inches tall.) I do not know the statistics off hand and i do not care to look them up at the moment, but from my opinions, and what I have seen, I would pick the Viper taking both my votes,

EDIT - contary to what people believe, The Viper is actually a very good handling vehicle. There is a reason why Dodge uses it as a race car in some races, even if they are not drag tracks. I had it out and I was taking corners at speeds I would never dream at taking any other vehicle (ie, hard corner at 180km/h) I might have been able to push it further, but I didn't want to take a chance. I know I could have taken it faster. It still felt very stable.

As for a "daily driver" the Viper was never intended as a daily driver, it was only designed and marketed so Dodge could enter in some of the races they were losing so badly in before where the ruels stated that the vehicle must be a current production vehicle. It was not designed for confort, it was designed to do 200mi/h.

Answer 3

I would chose the Porsche. Way more class than anything that says Dodge on it. The viper may win a drag race, but the porsche would win a road race.

Answer 4

Go with the Porsche better car, better engineer. Viper will win on the striaght line, but will lose the Porsche if their one ture in the race.

Answer 5

Porsche Carrera would win because when the driver of the viper steps in to his car, hes' gonna burn his leg off trying to climb over the extremely hot door sill that houses the exhaust. lol... yes i've burned my leg on it before.

Answer 6

IT GOING TO BE A DEAD HEAT. THEY HAVE IDENTICAL QUARTER MILE 12.3 AND 0-60 VIPER 4.2 AND PORSCHE 3.9. I WOULD PREFER THE PORSCHE BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE TWO SEATERS MUCH. THE PORSHE IS A MUCH MORE REFINED RIDE AND MUCH MORE LUXURIOUS. THE VIPER RIDE AND ROAD MANNERS HAVE LITTLE BE DESIRED. THEY ARE BOTH GREAT PERFORMANCE CARS. THE PORSCHE ON A DAILY BASIS IS MUCH EASIER TO LIVE WITH.

Answer 7

Neither. Porsche is just a beefed up beetle, and dodge???...go with the 07' chevy corvette, or the ford gt 40. The ford gt 40 would win. With your 2 options its a hard choice..both are fast...
