i love the new corvettes as well, but corvettes are a dime a dozen on the road. you can drive around every day and expect to see at least 5-10 corvettes just commuting. the viper is a rare car, and i think its that way because it was designed as a driver's car with performance in mind, over comfort. obviously the z06 is a different story, but you dont see any "base" vipers. all vipers kick ass. corvettes do too. back on topic people!
