Everyone says that... but I disagree. I drove my buddies SRT-10 vert around a few weekends ago and even w/ stock side pipes it sounded very pissed. Sort of a cross between deep American and pissed off exotic.

Yeah, that's why guys buy Viper's for their cross country comfort... That and fuel economy.

I thinks that's his daughter.

Ferrari is next on my list. I've always wanted one and I don't know why.

Beautiful car. I enjoyed reading your comparison. I know you won't let some of these asshat remarks bother you. Enjoy your car.

Default Vipers??

Well, for an 80K car,the front is fugg-ugly, IMHO. The C5 is much better looking, and the interior of the C5 is beautiful. Where do these clowns come up with this "C5 interior looks junky, cheap, etc.??" So, maybe he beats me by a second or so zero to sixty, BFD. I saved 40K on a car which to me, is world-class.

Then why even put 'em in the same catagory. Vipers are short distance attention grabbers and Vettes are cars that are built to use.

How funny. I thought I would check back to see if there were any questions, and there were either normal car guys (like myself) that said yea or nay - or pansies whining about 10 hour drives or the new Z06 is faster or some other puss comment.

Listen, I have owned a 62 Vette, 66 roadster, 71 LS5, 89 vert and lastly 99 built stroker Vert. I simply gave an opinion to people on a forum that I have been on for a few years - nothing more.

I am not saying "Viper is better" or "Corvettes suck".

I should have known some of you girls would get upset and make stupid comments, I've seen them on this forum for years.
Say what you will, I won't be responding again - but to all you car guys like me - PEACE!

BTW- I am 34 and work hard. I built that house myself over 4 long years. I think my wife is great and had her take a pic with my last car and I never would "act better" than anyone else here.

Guess you could say I'm a "Redneck with Money!" Now go have a beer and CHILL OUT!

woah guy.....you expected the comments yet you seem suprised by them or annoyed. your on a vette forum with many i would assume had enough money to buy either a vette or a viper. i personally do not like the way vipers sound or look or their interiors. your car, your money....no ones ******* you. just letting you know they like their vette more than a viper. im sure if you posted this on the viper boards reactions and comments would be different

Nice car, house, etc... i dont have a problem with you EXCEPT you live in EDMOND

J/K of course, congrads to you and all of your hard work. Your about my age and it looks like your doing pretty well. I like the Vipers too but im more of a vette-guy, i dont know why but all i can say is i try!

Ive actually considered moving to Edmond if i win some lottery money, maybe Edgewater ( very nice homes with small acerages overlooking lake ) but thats another story.

Dont give up on us vette guys though, perhaps you can get another vette to park alongside your viper. Either way, enjoy the fruits of your labor!
