[07x06] April 25th, 2005

Overheat · April 12th, 2005, 05:56 PM

Guy Wadsworth tests a life-saving lamp-post that disintegrates on impact. Tom Ford test-drives the Ariel Atom, which has no doors, no windscreen and no bodywork but accelerates faster than the McLaren F1. And Tiff Needell and Jason Plato go head-to-head in two new American cars - the Corvette C6, which has the biggest engine on sale today, and the Dodge SRT10.

Wow, this episode should be great.

Anything with the Atom is automatically great if you ask me images/smilies/smile.gif

Corvette C6 - biggest engine on sale today? Isn't the Viper's bigger? They even are in the same sentence...

I'm fairly certain there is an 8L V10 in the viper, not sure if it still is, but they had one in the past. Not sure how big the Corvette's engine is though.

bihus · April 12th, 2005, 09:47 PM

I think the Corvette is 6.7, at the max, and the new Viper has a 8.3...

I'll be looking forward to this one more than the one that'll air on the 18th. images/smilies/smile.gif

Corvette is V8, 5970cc; SRT10 is V10, 8.3l - FACT

^right

SiR_dude · April 13th, 2005, 12:17 AM

I think they meant the biggest Chevy engine...

Cruzz563 · April 13th, 2005, 02:55 AM

I think it should've been the C6-Z06 against the SRT-10 a bit more fair, no? But I guess the wait for the Z06 was too long.

7.0L V8 vs. 8.3L V10. 8)

andyhui01 · April 13th, 2005, 11:06 AM

this should be interesting, viper vs corvette.... but isn't viper known to be alot quicker than the corvette?

Viper007Bond · April 13th, 2005, 11:43 AM

Well, it does cost much more and has way more horsepower. That still doesn't mean they can't compare the "handling" of the two and stuff. I mean, they are really the only 2 true muscle cars made in America, although the Mustang is somewhat on it's way back.

SiR_dude · April 13th, 2005, 05:34 PM

I agree with Cruzz....they should have used the Z06, using a C6 plays the cards into the hands of the Viper waaay to much.

dr_troll · April 13th, 2005, 09:11 PM

What about the new Shelby Mustang they showed at New York? That should be a good competitor to the Viper and the Z06. It has the same engine as the Ford GT, just de-tuned a bit. 450+ horsepower and 450+ torque, I think.

Viper vs. Vette should be great. No Vicki appearance though? images/smilies/sad.gif
