One of the most tunable cars out there?

[Frasers Cup]

Was never too convinced about vipers before, but after seeing a few really fast ones surely it is more tunable than most other cars out there with its huge cc truck engine?

Im pretty sure that a skyline would be more "tuneable". a 6 pot engine that can take around 500 bhp on standard bottom end?

What about the saab 2.3 turbo engine? that can take around 400 on standard bottom end according to ppc iirc

 

[Kneel]

yeah, but the viper comes with over 500 standard etc. If you have the budget an 8litre 10cylinder engine could put out some seriously huge power.

Yank engines are more tuneable thats basically a fact. And better to drive with high power levels. The larger capacity just lends itself to be better to drive without as much stress on the engine.

Standard Mustang bottom end is quite capable of handling 550hp+ the older terminator block was capable of 1000hp. And the only weak point then is the roads. But because the engines are so simple in comaprison to the jap ones they are easy to work on and cheap to mod.

New Shelby GT500 will get to 800hp+ without having to replace any of the bottom end

Chevy engines are also amazing. Out of all of them I would say the viper is one of the least tuneable to be honest not as much after market support for it either.

There quick in a straight line but dont actually get traction until around 80mph as thevideo shows
