In my opinion, these are two of the coolest cars on the planet-



But for my kind of driving fun per dollar, the Ariel Atom wins easily.

Eddie, your F car is amazing, been trying to buy one for the last year or so but the prices have skyrocketed, day late and a dollar short I guess.

I went and drove an AA but the arthritis is catching up on me and had a hell of a time getting out of it, but man, what a ride.

Here is my other hot rod when the ZR is parked.

You have got to drive one of these bad boys. Get down my way and you're welcome to run it around the block a time or two.






Fast Black (the GS) is Karens ride.

I drove one of these a few years back when I could maybe afford it. I can no longer afford it. Alla' the thrills of a 250 GT SWB and room for groceries (or two small designer dogs) :

I LOVE the V10 R8, but it would actually be a step down in performance (as would almost everything out there) for me. That being said I am lusting after one big time

I am super jealous of that Viper. I know it's blasphemous, but I have quite a fancy for those. Gorgeous car

Not blasphemous at all to us car guys, you drive a C6ZR1 which is truly an amazing car and you like the gen V Viper. I had both and will tell you ANY true car guy will appreciate either of the 2.

You owned a gen V? Any pics? If I were to get one it would definitely be a snake skin green GTS with the SRT hood and black or grey wheels I'm getting all worked up just talking about it

Thanks, it is a great car and I still do love my ZR1.

I understand that there are only a few GTS with SRT hood and it is no longer available, but that could just be a rumor.

I got to spend a day at the factory when it was being built, very cool.

I just put some wheels on it that I had made for my Gen 2 GTS, jury is still out on them. They are too small for the Gen 5.

Hey, Boba. I still have my ZR1 and have been thinking about selling it. Do you miss yours? I love my GTS and the ZR but having a hard time letting the Vette go. I could use the room but man the ZR is a hell of a car. If you had the room would you have kept it? Or are you wanting the new Z06/07?

I just might have to brake down and buy another 4 post lift.

Here they are snugged in

The ZR1 is certainly 1 hell of a car and I do miss it, however to me it falls behind the TA just slightly. The excitement factor of driving the Viper is def better than the ZR's and you just don't see Vipers which makes it special. There are literally more Lambos in my area than Vipers.

To have them both is ideal.

Ask for your last question, I ordered my 2015 Z just today, and Im keeping the snake(s).

I have one ordered as well but it is for my wife, she is replacing her 13 GS Vert, she is getting Z06 Vert auto.

I agree about the wow factor on the snake but my Z does 750hp. Need to boost the Viper when available.
