I honestly don't think he has ever sat in a viper, felt the rumble of driving one, they are never quiet, where a vette not under full throttle cannot even be heard, they are so quiet .

All one has to do is change the exhaust on the viper at it sounds great, as far a heritage? The viper is built in Detroit Which was once the meca of all cars built, you know the saying "Detroit Muscle"?, I've never heard the term St. Louis , or "Kentucky muscle" , carol Shelby was supposed to be involved with the project, but he died, the viper was designed to be the modern Shelby Cobra, which goes back to the 60's, tons of heritage there, so please spare people the "heritage crap"

Since you obviously don't know the "heritage" about the viper, and just post decade year old comments, you should know, that when the Viper was born, the was a big celebration dinner with all the big shots of all founders of cars with "heritage" one of those guests at the table was Zora himself.....
Soooo from all that nonsense you just wrote it was born in the 90s like I said...Yawn. I'll let you guys get back to the viper circle jerk. Who was at the table when they had to lower the msrp by over 15k to move them from collecting dust on the dealerships lots.

Corvettes have a loooooooong history of knocking large chunks off of MSRP. I have never paid full price for any of the 3 new Corvettes I have purchased. I got almost 12K off my 09 Z06 brand new. Thats signifigantly higher percentage compared to $15K off of a Viper.

Who cares anyway what does selling volume, discounts, resale value, MPG or perceived heritage have to do with how good a high performance sports car actually is?

Is the Mustang 3X better than the Corvette because it triples it's sales figures?

Relax, I was kidding around. If "Sissy" offended you, then you should grow some thicker skin. I've been called much worse than that. You also missed that I referred to my car as a UPS truck Clown Shoe. Buy a sense of humor

I bought my brand new '09 Z06 for 10K off. How about all those ZR1's that sold for $20K off? Maybe those 427 edition convertibles that went for $25K off?

The C7's (all trim levels) will eventually get discounted the same way. Not a big deal.

No way I was insinuating you were born in the 90's, I was still in high school (class of 94) I was thinking more like 1950's

Everyone who has owned a vette knows they fall off a cliff when it comes to value, just like any mass produced car, brand loyal guys are really grasping at straws now.

This car is everything I wish GM would put into a C7 Z model:

Big N/A displacement and HP (and how can GM use emissions excuses when Dodge can continue with a much larger engine?).

Weight reduction focus - speakers, carpet, etc - I have a luxury SUV, when I buy a go-fast car, the only that matters to me is the performance and driving dynamic.

Manual trans only - just my preference won't expand on this touchy subject.

No EXCUSES.

And wow, that Blue with white stripe - yes please! Now I just may have to convince myself once and for all that the exhaust note is alright!
Dodge on what appears to be an amazing car for the road course enthusiast. Looking forward to actual performance data.

Also no stupid Targa Top with the associated weight gain, squeaking and popping that comes with it.
