Obviously you've never been to Buffalo.

it has a sticker on it that says 7:22.X ... supposedly a 2010 version did it in 2:12.X due to better 5th gear gearing....

I gotta say, there's no way you've been to Northern/Central NJ if you think Central PA is worse! I managed to crack a strut brace and lose one of the front grill inserts on my M Coupe this winter, lol.

Beautiful "Fiero", by the way!

Such an obvious fake. Real Vipers have cross drilled brake lines. Enjoy your crappy kit car.
Cross-drilled brake lines? What's the point, they won't hold any fluid!

Back on topic, nice ride!




try to keep up, newb.

Well, it sounds like a fine automobile with those 'ring times and now in addition to a Cobalt SS i desire that machine.

Great ride.

love the looks/ abilities of the acr minus the gay DBW found in all gen 4s which killed it for me. gen 3 > gen 4 as far and funness (is that even a word? ) and sound go IMO. I will be looking for a gen 3 coupe at some point most likely
all wrong.
the gen 4 vipers come with cable actuated throttle plates now??



and how am I wrong about sound/ preferring the gen 3 engine over the gen 4? Last time I checked, I'm allowed to have an opinion
