Yea, I hear ya. Vipers do get a lot of attention because they are rare compared to Vettes, but Vettes are way cooler. We don't have to tell anyone that, though. They instinctively know it! Just remember: we drive Americ's sports car. There's only one!

A while back an idiot in a Viper was beside me while I was in my SuperDuty. This guy was a total azzclown, and oddly enough he got his interior filled (via his open drivers window) with a huge huff of diesel soot and smoke from my Powerstroke. Had a big shot saved up, hadn't been into the throttle for a while.
I have done that to beau coup ricers too.
Sometimes I almost feel bad.

I can't say much. If I had a viper I would be an *** also... Well let me rephrase that, More of an ***.

A C4 to a viper is like a mustang is to us.

Although I started to buy a 94 viper once and changed my mind and got the C4. The 1st vipers dont have side windows, exterior door handles, a/c, and don't even come with a top!

What kida of car dont have side windows or a top?

Well almost anyways.........a 1965 427 Cobra. The top was part erector set and boy scout tent and you had to snap in the side windows and slide them open and closed. If you saw a rain cloud on the horizon it was a good time to stop under a bridge and start the building process. You may get done before the rain hits. I'd take that over a Viper even though it's a Ford.

It's not the Viper. It's the person driving the Viper.

Most of those guys buy them to measure the size of their pecker. We use our vettes to drive and get a rush.

Ok so you cant say that all viper owners are jerks because i know plenty of c6 corvette owners that are way snoby and complete a$$es! My best friends dad is one of the coolest poeple i know and he owned a 2007 c6 and now he owns a 1997 viper GTS he also owns a 2004 mitsubishi evo so he has the best of both worlds and he is an extremely cool guy. Honestly if i had the chance to own a viper i would take it over a vette any day mainly because they are amazing machines and my dream car!
