Cool Photos - Viper & Z06

Yesterday was the first opportunity I had to snap a few photos of both cars together. I picked up the cyber gray Z06 recently, and have had the Viper a little over a year now. Interesting how similar they can look from certain angles.

Holy **** they do look a lot a like from certain angles! Nonetheless they are both beautiful cars. Lucky you!

What's the name of your Z06's paint color? After seeing it, and the rebuild thread Ray made, I think I would like something similar on my car!

Hey Tony, if you decide to put rims on the Z06 I'd be interested in buying your stockers for a project....

Oh, and nice cars. You can stop with the over-achieving now!

I'd like to take that photo, but I have cars scattered around town in various storage units. It would be difficult to get them all in one place. Building a new house and shop right now though, so in a few months they will all be at home.

Viper = 675 rwhp via Paxton. Z06 = stock. Not really a contest there. Both are fun to drive, one is more like a raw racecar and the other is like a tech gadget on wheels.

Not interested in a ZR1. I think the Z06 looks better, and I prefer the 427. Just because something is faster in stock form, that doesn't make me want it more. I mod everything anyways

I hear that. A C6 ZO6 is my dream car, even more so than the new ZR1.

Damn, very nice, I agree with you about the C6 z06 even though the zr1 isn't a slouch by far but it's just something about the c6 z06 that I love and rather have over a zr1

I would rather have a 7.0L then a 6.2L charged power plant anyday of the week. If Tony want's to get radical, just add a charger to the 7.0L

Nice pair!!!
