Viper owners scared?

we gone to vettes vs vipers to ferraris...crazy

[carrrnuttt]

I think the point that should be taken out of this whole thread is this:

"Quit being one-make fanb01s, and enjoy every car for what it is!"

Do you guys really think that the Z06...heck, the C5 would have been what it is if it weren't for the original Viper?

Do you guys really think that the Viper would've evolved [so quickly] from 400HP to 450HP if it weren't for the C5's?

Do you think the SRT-10 will be what it is now, without the pressure coming from the Z06's numbers?

What about the C6? The new Z06?

Competition is healthy people. Enjoy it and quit being "haters". It's annoying.

I agree.

This is the point i've been trying to make. The Viper has always over done what the Vette was doing. But the Vette started gettting more track competitive, now Chevy wants to built a super-vette to beat the Viper. Like carrrnuttt said, its called competition, let it happen so we can see some cooler cars racing out their. The two cars have been symbols of power, but in totally different price ranges. My only point was you could buy a Vette and use less money to make it street/track faster then a Viper. Im not shitting on anyone's windshield here just being logical about the money that could be saved if track times are what you worry about.

And if we were all that worried about track time we'd be calling up Van Diemen or Ralt to buy Formula Atlantic cars.

Styling, comfort, resale value, etc. When you're building a streetable machine, these things all enter into the equation. There's an old racing saying, "Speed costs money. How fast do you want to go?"

You want Viper fast? You pay to get a Viper, or you pay to mod your Vette. Whichever route you take, you pay, so what it comes down to is what you really want to do.

for example:

a GTS viper would eat an RT-10 viper for breafast

and it should be the same for the next coupe viper

That's exactly what I meant.

Wait...if this is your only point then everything you just said above it was just a waste of typing. Haha j/k I'm being picky.

Seriously though your point about saving money ONLY is logical for people who are rich enough to buy a Viper up front with cash, not making any payments. Otherwise, you're not saving anything really if you're a middle class person in your 40's-50's buying a Corvette for one its a $50,000 car, 2: insurance is major bitch. The Viper is even worse but you can't act like the Vette is like paying for a Civic.

Your point doesn't really work either when it comes to people who are rich. If a person is rich enough to pay for a Viper up front in cash, then obviously they are rich enough to modify it without scraping for pennies on the ground. The only reason a person I can see would want the Corvette over the Viper is considering how much smoother a ride it is, looks, just a Vette fanatic since they were a kid, available traction control system, all the various options that go with it, or maybe they just like the sound of a V8 vs the V10.

[1QUICK2]

That is also true. If you have the money, its all going to come down to personal taste. We all know that any car can be modded with money, so its really just your personal taste in the body shape, ride, options, etc. That is why I think that petition is F'n gay, whether a Vette has 700hp or a Viper does, people are still going to buy the one more appealing to them.

[vipers are gayrods]

you know what is apealing to me watching v10 viper get all up in arms over this he takes it to heart and thats funny.
hey no lie a saw a local man beat a viper with a 77 chevy pickup with a hopped up 427 under the hood.
funniest thing ever
