Truck engine + ****ty interior + no dampening = no thanks

I'm sure someone will take it's snap oversteer and see how far they can fly off a cliff.

Dodge + handling = unpossible

as much as i hate to admit that either of those cars is a great product, the vette is relatively small, light, and employs some awesome engine technology. the viper doesn't really do any of that and it's still enormous. c6 z06 > new viper

or just put some exhaust/intake and aggressively tune the z06 and we got a winner... but you can TT it too and hit over 1000 hp.

There's always something to be said for the sportscar not upgraded from a base model. Seeing a Viper roll down the street turns more heads than a Z06 for a reason.

I don't like explaining to people who don't know much about cars, but know enough to ask questions about my car. "Those WRXs are fast, that things got 240hp doesn't it?" Driving an STi gets me questions like that all the time. I could only imagine having an M3/Z06/335 or something and having to field stuff like that all the time. People recognize, but they don't Recognize.

I know that no true sports/driving enthusiast will admit to choosing a car over street recognition, but if I was driving an $80k car around I wouldn't mind a few extra looks. I see C6 Vette's everyday, and it's rare to see a Z06 so I'm never gawking when a Vette rolls by...but a Viper hell yeah.

You can't go wrong with either car, but if I had a choice and the cars were relatively equal I'd go Viper...much like I went STi over EVO MR.
