That silver Viper//thread.

Thank you, just doesn't have that wow factor I mean people don't even notice it just looks like a civic or any other car out there

Yeah, but YOU happen to really like silver... I think the blue GTS looks best.

Still, gimme the ZO6 every day... because for daily use, it's much nicer than the Viper. It also attracts less attention.

He wasn't looking to buy one...he owned a C6ZO6. It apparently wasn't cool enough to keep.

The only blue Vipers I see in those pics are SRT10s.

I'm talking about the guy who said he changed his opinion on what he wanted after he graduates from a Z06 to a 96-97 viper

Ah...missed that part. Performance-wise the earlier Vipers won't hold up, but some people are after the driving experience with them. They were designed to be a racecar you can drive on the street, whereas the Vettes are daily driver-ish cars that can be driven on the race track.

For me, the Gen IV is about as crude as I'll go, and ABS was a must. That's the only driving aide my car has.

All the bickering back and forth aside, neither is a bad way to go, and both are a set of custom wheels (and perhaps a good lowering) away from turning heads everywhere you go.

Being 8 years old when those Vipers came out, I guess it was always a dream car. I remember using them in the video games I played growing up and I think the OPs color combo is amazing. Ive always tried to be different with my car selections. When all my friends were getting Volkswagens, I wanted a Camaro. I live in a well-off part of the country. Theres money everywhere and all the old men are cruising in stock Vettes. I never see Vipers. Ive never driven either so I shouldnt of said I changed my opinion but I do understand the Viper arguement. Its a win win regardless..

I'd take a Viper over a ZO6 anyday, everyone and their damn momma has a Vette over here. I've prolly seen two Vipers during the last couple of years and broke my poor neck everytime.

ZeeSNuttS

You see more of them because of the price (C6 Z06). A good deal for a SUPER CAR if you ask me

BoricuaHec01

But if it was between a ZR-1 and a Viper, best believe I'm taking the ZR-1.

ZeeSNuttS

I guess a person would get a old a$$ Viper over a new Z06 just to say I have a Viper LOL

BoricuaHec01

Ya screw that, all about 3rd Gen. Vipers and up if you want to be a Boss lol.

I dont think the point of this thread was to compare a brand new Z06 to a brand new Viper. A viper may be older than a C6 Z06 but how dated do Vipers look? Especially a late 90s early 2000s GTS.. For being a decade older, I think the viper can still hang close to a C6Z in performance aspects as well. You make it sound like its not cool to say I have 7.0L 505hp Z06 that ***** on just about every car on the road..

^ We were just talking ****.

Nope, Gen 1-2 Viper's will get destroyed by a C6 Z06. Think about it, when the Gen 1-2 Viper came out the C4 ZR1 was brand new.

Gen 3-4 Viper's would be a decent comparo to a C6 Z06.

And, OPINION, I think the Viper hasn't aged at all in appearance. Where as the C4 and C5 definitely have, and I assume the C6 will as well. Guess we will have to wait 16 years an see how the C6 is doing.

I guess I should've added "not pictured here" ... They're the ones I like best, that's all.

You could spend about as much on a ZO6 as a new Viper in 2010. I've seen them priced at the 90k mark, which simply isn't cheap. The performance is about equal. The only reason more ZO6's are seen is because there are more of them. The Viper is still rare.

The older Vipers were certainly fast for their time, but as always, time marches on and cars have gotten much, much faster. The newest Vipers are nothing to sneeze at performance-wise, though:
