Default Viper vs Z06

Tried talking my buddy into a Z06 but he insisted on buying a Viper instead.

This is his punishment.

I'll just put this here.
Sorry for the long video. He hasn't figured out how to clip/edit yet.

Maybe he'll change his mind and get a 'Vette now....

I doubt it. He's stubborn like that.

I would rather have the slow viper, nothing looks like that on the road...

Corvettes are for old men. And gay.
*said by the person buying one.

But that's a modded z06, right? Versus a stock viper?
And I agree, I would much prefer to have a viper to a corvette. And I will buy one once I finish modifying the corvette.

This.

But a used C6Z is one hell of a bargain for the performance and potential it has.

Since this involves a viper i gotta ask. Where the hell has "Killmell" (spell check) been???

And I was thinking the same thing earlier today with the Evo/Viper video. I always liked his vids!

That was his reason for buying the Viper. This is his 2nd one.
He's a member here too... so it's just a matter of time before he sees this thread and calls to bust my *****.


I was in his first Viper... and I can honestly say "I don't like them".

They are cool looking and fast.. but uncomfortable as hell and ride like a school bus.

I will keep my boring, gay, old-man Vette thank you.

ewww don't know about this one, I had a friend here in Woodlands with a 2009 Viper with over 800rwhp that dusted many many vettes and exotics. He moved to FL and is still at it religiously with even more hp

The faster modded car will always come down to who has more $$$. No matter the make or model.

I love how rare the Vipers are. Looks are subjective, but I think they look a tad bit better.

Then you go for a ride in one and choose a C6 hands down. They are awful rides

There's a reason you see a bunch of old ***** in Corvettes and not Vipers. Vipers scare the **** out of them.

Well that sucked. Vipers look nicer but the ride quality is horrible and the rears get loose easy. I wonder how the new Viper will mount up

Vipers weren't built to be comfortable. They were built to be a brute sports car. Vipers have always been my dream car, but not saying I woulnd't like a C6Z either. Both awesome cars.

There's always a faster car, money buys horsepower.

Both cars are great, it's not every day you see a Viper, they're pretty hard to beat looks wise.

But Corvettes are hard to beat money wise, it's relatively easy/cheap to make 'Vettes fast.

I love vettes but You can't drive a couple miles here without seeing one. There is a Hennessey Viper Venom that is sometimes Valet parked up front at Cru Wine bar here in The Woodlands TX on Market Street. that would be my dream car, it shadows the Lambos and Ferraris parked next to it

I understand what you're attempting to say, but what you actually said is quite different.
