How can Vipers only get around the same speed as this Marcos from a collossal 8litre V10 when this has a supered 4.6l?
COS AMERICAN CARS ARE NO MATCH FOR BRITS THATS HOW!!!
I think this is based on the "fun factor" like the viper + cobra and this has got the viper idea and made a better job of it.
I used to hate ameican cars but now I've decided to like them cos they're such good piss takes of themselves

dude, viper wasnt tryin to go all out, it was made to kik GMs ass, not brittains, there aint tvrs over here (or really any brit cars) so they aint tryin to compete.
Cats are so awesome. I'm going to have a huge carpeted room full of carpeted pillars of various heights & painted as buildings. Then I'll fill it with my many cats & let them rule the city. Then once a month I'll dress up as Godzilla & pack myself full with catnip and invade- WCW 1. I have one of the most beautiful county ever, with everything except electronic/modern things 2. If you have ever read anything about Caucasia youd know how independent culture/language/everything we got. And we/cristians were sorounded by Arabs/Turks/mother#$%#ers/musulmans for 20 centuries and were fighting with them day/night for 20 centuries long 3. You are mess of french/Spanish/you dont even know who. Your grnadmother were eating babana on the tree when your grandfuther #$%#ed her and were borned yourmother. At this time we had our alphabet, 1 from 14 independent alphabets in the world4. You are a 22/25/whatever year old squirrel and rabbit without any #$%#ing personality 5. kle xar.

this car owns vipers, the viper isnt even in the same league as this car. but i believe marcos only produces like 160 of these a year, so they are rather rare.

Man. That's exactly what I thought when I saw the power output and the price: viper competitor. I'm not sure what to make between the two cars. This thing would eat alive the first generation vipers, including the GTS and even GTS-R. I'm not sure about he SRT-10 though. It's still cheaper than the SRT-10 by 5-10k. I could get used to its looks too...

Ok Marcos have been out much much longer than the Viper so its Viper that copied Marcos. Marcos have been running this design for years. Just look at the 80s Mantulas.

Some people spasm out whenever countries are compared (especially the US) like that "ask your mom" guy or the "Americans are too fat to drive manuals"... retards, both of them. Frankly, American cars haven't really been in competition with European cars with the exception of maybe BMW.
As far as racing or sports cars, European cars dominate the market for the most part because they've got a Germany, Italy, UK, and a few other countries pumping out high quality cars with long traditions. North America has the US and what? Mexico with whatever cardboard cutout four-cylinder monsters they produce?
For a long time we've cranked out muscle car after muscle car and that's pretty much been our thing. Muscle and Motorcycles. The Viper is relatively new and while it may be outmatched in performance by a some cars, it is still an impressive v10 powerhouse. However unlike the Marcos Mantis, it isn't supercharged, turbocharged, or whatever.
It is a damn good car and ignoring the price comparisons, tweaked just a bit and this thing becomes a massive beast (but then again so can a civic).
Damn my longass posts.
Still working on that signature...
Favorite Cars So Far (super and other):
1. GT40 MK's, old or the new 2005 Ford GT
3. 1967 shelby mustang GT 500E
2. Nissan Skyline R32, R33, and R34 GTR; it's all good.
4. Aston Martin Vanquish
5. Lotus Elise (The US version w/ the Toyota engine)
6. 2004 Porsche 911 GT2, Porsche 911 Carrera 4S
7. Audi Quattro (old school) but the new one is nice too.
8. Anything TVR
I think that's it for know...

how does this copy the viper's looks? or the viper copying this car's looks? this is nothing like a viper at all!!! i hate u! shut up! shutup! stupid! die!
sry, i just had some anger.
but i have to say that most american cars r overwieght with bad performance (unless it has a 5,000,000,000 liter V1234567890 engine) and bad reliability
and i am american and own a ford
They tested the Bugatti 16.4 Veryon in Philadelphia! Yeah, Philly!

ok, u say that this car is so good because it's light with 500+hp. Hmmm... How many horses does the viper have, and it ways almost a thousand pounds more, so if we keep the same engine in each and make the viper body glass-fibre, i would have to see that this fat american car just kicked your skinny britsih car's ass. Oh, and, yah the mantis use a Ford modular V-8, which is of course and american engine, so HA

The Mantis is mighty quick. Everybody should try some kind of Marcos, they're great fun.
These cars have looked pretty much the same since they first appeared in the Sixties. The styling definitely isn't for everyone.
Personally, I prefer the coupes over dropheads, the Mini Marcos was shocking and the Mantaray had a nasty, pinched mid section, like it was wearing a corset. The rest are stunners to my eye, real attention grabbers.
Ford's V8 is very popular amongst English speciality manufacturers.
