I did a comparison review and much hasn't changed from that but always love car talk.
First off, the ZR and TA are simply remarkable cars and both are a huge bang for the buck especially for those lucky enough to get them for lower than the MSRP.
The ZR is def the low end hit winner where the Viper delivers high in the R's. The Viper is still much more the drivers car even with the aids. Ive tracked the Viper once (lightly) so far, compared to having tracked the ZR twice and not to include the ZR1 School.
Because of the low end acceleration I feel the ZR is the better street weapon but prefer the Viper on the track. And by no means am I a hardcore tracker.
The Vette will always have a larger following due to its friendlier nature compared to the Viper. I don't think this was a surprise as the Viper was never a heavy produced car. This is probably what I like most about the Viper when compared to the ZR. I don't dd my toy cars and so when I go for a spirited run or even just a quick ride, I love the aggression and unwilling to compromise the Viper gives. This is embraced by many Viper enthusiasts.
Vettes are much easier to mod and the aftermarket isn't even comparable. A lose to the Viper. Im a modder-although I did not mod the ZR (Akropovic exhaust exception) and probably will never mod the Viper.
As most know, the Vipers Int is far superior to the ZR's as well as the shifting.
On the whole they both achieve the same results very similarly, but different enough to want to own both (see Captn Van). As I said, both remarkable cars!!
