Question Viper vs Corvette vs Cobra R

This for all around acceleration, handaling, comfort, and price differences. I would have to go with the Corvette. It's the most affordable of the three and has better acceleration the the Cobra R but handles better thand the Viper.

Corvette; aren't the new one's supposed to be packed with even more horsepower, or is that just the Z06? Either way, Corvette Coupe for me.

Corvette ZO6. For the price of a Dodge Viper GTS you could get a Lingenfelter 427 Vette or TT Vette.

The new Z06 with 405hp should be able to get on top of these I think.

i don't think we're talking about the racecar versions of these cars. i'm sure that the race prepped viper gets about 700 too. my choice goes to the viper without a doubt

New Z06. If the factory is to be believed, it is as quick to 60 as teh Viper, handles better, and a blower is just 5 grand away.

Z06.....405 horsepower, 400 ft-lbs torque, and even lighter than last year but a GTS (especially the ACR) would be badass. I really like the 5 point harnesses.

yeah, 5-point harnesses rock and all, but have you ever tried to drive in a car with one of them? Going on an errand run in my TT 5-point mustang was an exercise in annoyingness.
