i agree it looks smaller n has sharper edges... but i like the more round look of the older vipers alot more then the newer ones. i dont own a new or older 1 so im not bias

Newer Viper is the obvious win for me when viewed side by side. The old model just looks....old.

Just like my C5 compared to the new C6. Side by side the C6 just looks better IMO. The C5 is starting to look a little dated to me.

If it was my money it would be a hard decision. I would have to drive both, but I think I would end up with the Viper.

I agree the Viper is not mistaken they are spotted from a 1/2 mile away!!!!!

The C6 Z06 is a work of art though I like the rumble of the V8 over the sporty V10 sound.

Me personally would chose the C6 Z06 but either or is a babe magnet and will get thumbs up from me!!!!!!

If I had to choose I would take the viper. I love the c6z but I have always wanted a viper. They both are pimp and could pull massive amounts of women but it still comes down too, your still only gonna be able to take 1 home maybe 2.

I think you missed the Lambo scene in Batman Begins.

I've witnessed two girls riding in the passenger seat of a Viper before. Scene was very similar to the Batman Begins lambo scene.

LOL

Interesting to see the older and newer Vipers parked side by side, they look pretty similar like that though in person the newer ones look less curvy.

If you get a 06 Viper they can be had for $60K, that's a car that stickered for $92K new.

C6Z is like Tony said has slight visual differences to the masses, heck sometimes I can't tell the difference depending on the angle, though the hood opening on the C6Z is what I always notice.

I was thinking I could fit maybe 2 girls in the passeger seat of my vette and 1 in the trunk. LOL I was thinking maybe a gts would be close to the same.

i think my next fun car will be a viper or c6z

what is your goal?? this argument has been beaten over and over so many times it's ridiculous. do a "search" and you'll find hundreds of opinions on the matter. to sum it up, what are you looking for??

a. pic up chicks, turn heads = viper

b. go faster = C6Z

I think it is slightly quicker stock, and it is cheaper to modify.

What?? I love the LSx series motors, but the viper motor can handle a crap load more power!

Vipers aren't that expensive to modify, no different than a Corvette really. I have $6500 into mine and it puts down 675 rwhp. Also has stock drivability at that power. Paxton and a catback, car still has factory exhaust manifolds and cats on it too.

Pre-08 SRT Vipers are 9.5:1 compression ratio, perfect for boost.

But for $6500 you could do heads/cam/spray (if that's your thing) and make 750++rwhp in the Z.

Even still, my vote goes for the Viper. I don't know why but lately I've had a thing for Vipers. Not stock ones though, gotta slam it on 20s.
