Uglier? I'd rather have a 2005+ GTO than a 02 Camaro. Then again, I'd rather have a late 90s Z06 than either.

As far as the rest of the argument, I don't know enough about the two to add anything.
maybe you meant early 60's...ZO6 was started again in 01

So much fail...people talking **** about cars and they don't even know when they were made. This is truly embarrassing, I feel like I'm posting on HondaTalk.

If he wants to own a legend, than buy a first gen ZR1. I swear everytime I heard of one being mentioned it was mentioned in a hushed, awe filled voice all thru the 90's... as the stories of there power and durability grew and grew. THATS a legendendary car.

sticks and stones...You are right...That car was like 60K back then when a reg vette was 30K and the first vipers were 50K...

I also saw a test were they hit 158 mph in the regular vette....167 mph in the first year Viper and get this....177 mph from the bone stock ZR1....

I still find 177 mph impressive to this day...

But honestly to me they are just ugly and incredibly dated...A C5Z06 is a car that you can still drive nowadays that still looks very nice

C5Z is a great package, unquestionably better than a first gen ZR-1 minus the 4valve per cylinder advantage. 1st gen Vipers were aerodynamic bricks.

I myself still love the body style of the C4's, but yes they are dated now.

I love the look of C5, C5Z's, and all C6's... I mean I need to give Chevy credit because I have just fallen madly in love with Corvettes. Now if only my immediate budget would follow through while being a college student
