I said goodbye on Tues. I have had some seat time in the viper, but not enough to give a complete report/comparison. I love being a car guy!

I've always marveled at the size of the Viper tires.

Nice looking rides.

Nice shots. Sorry that a few gave you a hard time for saying goodbye. Please PM me when you post your comparison. I'd be very interested. (BTW- I voted for the red. )

Nice cars, Nice pictures. The vette looks sweeter, but I'd still take the viper if I had to pick.

You're a better man than I am. I wouldn't have done it. But it's your's and you should be proud of it. At least you picked the right color. Good luck and enjoy your new car.
