A camaro might work out better with the back seat if you ever want to take the lil guy for a ride.

I wouldn't get a viper as a dd unless its not gonna be your dd... Also with the kiddo I would look into something with 4 doors.. Getting him in and out of the back seat even if its every six months is a major pita... Also the 2 said cars are like apples to oranges as the viper would fit in better with a Z06 or ZR1... And well the Camaro doesn't interest me until they drop the supercharged LSA into it! Just my opinion but I'm sure you'll be happy with whatever option you choose...

No comparison between the two. Viper all day. However if your over 6ft tall you may have a little trouble being comfortable in one for extended periods of time. With that said the way these vipers handle and drive make them a blast to enjoy.

If comfort, and safety are a priority have you considered a 4 door CTSV?

If you can afford the Viper, I really can't see how a 5th gen would be the next logical alternative between the two.

yeah dude. i hate to break away from gm and all, but the 5th gen camaro really is trash unless you mod the crap out it. the viper will not only be faster, handle better, and look better but its also exotic, and therefore it might help your single problem for a few days at a time lol

The Camaro is hardly trash but it's still no Viper. I don't understand how these are the 2 choices here.

Isn't the bright green on a Viper a Gen IV color only? 2.5-3X the cost a 5th gen.
