Did anyone ask if you are single? If so, the Viper should be your immediate choice....

I say go with the viper, vettes are a dime a dozen in my area.

plus vipers just have that "it" factor. i mean yeah you can blah blah blah add this and that to a vette. but the viper seems more cool to me

Vipers are more exclusive. When the Viper first came out in the early 90s, it was designated an exotic. Before the C6 Z06 (and maybe C5 Z06), Corvettes were only the average man's affordable sports car.

Tough one. I'd love to have an Atomic Orange C6Z, but I also want a black Viper.

I'd just go drive both and go from there. More of my want points go the the Viper, though.

I like the red with white stripes on the viper. I am not a fan of convertibles though.

I'd rather have a Viper, unless I planned on racing it.

Agree on the viper being a road course car.

I still can't figure out why the ls7 is supposedly no good for boost. Ls7 is 11:1 the ls2 is 10.9:1. What's the difference? In the corvette section they just put a screw type supercharger on a stock shortblock ls7 and it makes over 700rwhp.

LS7 has thinner cylinder sleeves than an LS2. The LS2 block is stronger and flexes less for high-hp builds because of this.

Dude c6z with forged 360 wheels, but if you like the sound of a 94si then go with the viper!
