The older RT/10's really don't impress me much. I went 400mi back from Tucson, AZ to the border of TX with two RT/10's. Neither was a whole lot faster than my 87GT. Few cars in the 1/4 mile maybe. Certainly not a whole lot top end either. The older Viper's top out at 160mph because of serious drag.
The newer one's with the supposed 450hp are a lot faster. I also firmly disagree with the idea a low/mid 12sec car is somehow the be all end all of performance. My 02GT with a twin turbo setup would kill that. A supercharged 96+ Cobra would own that. It's not too hard to make an 11sec car if you have 50k to dump into it. Or 10k for that matter.
