I see multiple Vettes anytime I am out on the road, especially C5's. The only Viper I see from a day to day basis is the guy who lives down the street with a white SRT10. I just see too many Vettes out on the road. Sure the LS1 is a great motor, but if I were to buy a Vette, IMO, it'd have to be a C6 Z or C6 ZR1, but for the money of the ZR1, I'd rather have an ACR Viper. That's just my opinion.

pfff, whatever. I've driven both of those fyi and they are nothing alike. Buncha haterz around here... can't handle the fact that a car is faster AND more practical for less money.
For the person who commented about seeing more old lady's yadayada driving vette's than vipers... there's a reason for that. Vipers are cramped, hot, noisy, and uncomfortable. You know a lot of people who want to drive a car like that? They are also twitchy and hard to control at the limit. Look at the video of that guy in cali who drove one straight off the road and down a hillside.

not to mention most Viper owners are former Vette owners...this Vette vs Viper topic has been beaten to hell on both the Viper forums and the Vette forums. Help the guy out with what he asked...
To the OP, if you got 45k to spend and your looking to track it go with a 2nd gen GTS
If you wanna drive it on the streets go with an SRT-10...
...just my .02

soooo, reading and watching reviews on both cars from professional drivers doesn't count? That's what I'm basing my opinion on. Yanked from another thread The Lightning Lap, 2009 - Feature - Auto Reviews - Car and Driver Check the lap times. 2006 viper str10 coupe 3:01.6... 2008 Z51 'vette 3:01.2. Lap times don't lie, and the 'vette was in a cheaper price range grouping too. So why don't you blow me?

bro are you fucking dense?? why would they compare a 2 year old car to a new car...you DO realize the 2008+ Vipers have an extra hundred horsepower...that might change things a little bit. So how bout YOU blow ME you fucking clown
EDIT: not to mention the 4th Gen Vipers are easier to drive when pushed hard...why don't you read up on your shit instead of making an ass of yourself
