In my business I do work for dealers. If he is making you this offer it is because it is in his best interest, not yours. He knows he can sell your Vette a lot easier than the Viper. How many Vipers do you see on the road, there's probably a good reason. So you get stuck with an s---box and he can recoup his loss on taking the Viper in on trade. Why would you want to get rid of a good car anyway for a POS problem car?

Well, I guess it's not a GTS, so personally, I wouldn't have had an ounce of interest. Now if it was a GTS, there would be pros & cons, but mostly cons as far as I'm concerned.
Value wise, you are talking about roughly the same #s, but your Z06 is probably worth a little more.

It won't happen on the streets unless you're doing something stupid or illegal. Of course it is not often that you get the chance to let the Z loose either.
I believe that the viper and the Z are designed for people with very different life styles. The viper is impractical as a DD whereas the Z can usually get by. Examine your life style and what you want out of a car and this choice should make itself for you easy. The viper is one fantastic looking car though.

Keep the Z.. The viper is horrible for around town driving.. especially the older ones... The inside heats up big time, very noisy and its not good noise... ride is terrible... The Z is so much more friendly for everyday use..
Besides... who wants to drive around in a clown shoe..
