Ohhh yeah, you forgot about the 4 line locks I have tied in to my shifter with invisible wires, those sticky tires that are considerd illegal, and that parachute on the back. haha

Ha ha ha ha....yes the C6Z06 would destroy that gen 1 viper...

The C6Z06 is capable of 11.7 at 125 with a decent driver while the gen 1 Viper is capable of 12.8 at 112 with a decent driver...Not even worth the effort..LOL

...BUT...Id actually have to say the Viper is the nicest car in the garage by far..Anyone who knows their vipers knows that a blue and white gen 1 rt10 Viper is one of the rarest and most sought after vipers out their...while the silver Z06 is very fast..It is no were near the collectible the blue and white rt10 is..Thats actually the first blue/white rt10 Ive ever seen other than poster pics on the internet..

To put it in perspective..The blue/white rt10 sold for around 50 grand 12 years ago..And it could still be sold for 35 PLUS grand today...Possibly 40 grand if the miles are under 10K...

And Im not saying tht cas Im a Viper owner..If it was a run of the mil red 1993-1996 rt10 Id say it was close but give the nod to the c6z06...But a blue and white is truly bas ***..

I love the Viper. You most def know what youre talking about here, haha. We gave $40,000 for it a few years back. It has 9,200 original miles right now. Spent $10,000 on the interior last year, the stock interior was perfect but I like it alittle better now, haha. It's unique.

Sometimes the dealership owner throws some tags on a new vehicle and just drives it around then sells it when they decide to. That's the case with this car. They got it in last year and the owner just drove it around for awhile then decided he wanted to sell it.

There's a 450rwhp '66 Chevy II, '71 Dart Swinger 340 6pack, '70 Mach 1, etc, etc under those covers in the pictures, it's not just what you see, haha. I'll keep ya in mind if we ever get rid of the Viper.
