The only exception to not owning an lsx based vehicle is upgrading to something even cooler. Haha congrats!

Nobody could argue with that Viper purchase so out of that group of cars before the Viper which ones had the best ride speed and HP wise?

Viper looks sick, but if it were me I'd take the Z06!

TB SS had the best ride.
Z06 was the fastest.
Camaro was the loudest (open cutout, only muffler was the turbo).

Love it! Best color on those cars, and probably the only car I can think of that looks 100% better with stripes. How does insurance on it compare to the Corvette/Camaro? I'd like to get one, but $40k seems to be where they are staying at which is a little too much for me. Now it's time for some boost! The 96-99 handle like what, 900-1000whp on stock internals? That's like it's begging you to slap a couple turbos on it.

The only downside to the Viper is the exhaust note.

Seems like on odd spot for that though, I would put tape behind the wheels if I was worried about rock chips. Or in front and behind, but not just in front, unless it was in the process of being taped/de-taped.

That sounds about right how's the speed difference with the Viper and the z06 Corvette?
