Hey I'm 24 and my house is in that league and live in the 2nd best town in America (Naperville IL) first was Fort Collins Colorado but what's the difference?! So don't come across like a tough guy with your "redneck with money" thing with that obsolete Chrysler Gardensnake. It's just a shame that so many of these guys are kissing your *** when they don't see the preverbial dump that you took on their heads (and cars for that matter). Oh, peace.

 

Jason,
Sorry that you got upset about the responses. I have had a few sport cars, C4, Audi TT, Z3, /// M Roadster, Gen. 1 Viper RT/10, Porsche Boxster S, and now my C5. I have been involved faithfully with every forum with that car. Did trips, clubs, shows, factory tours, homecomings, and mingled both on and off line with all these people. It has been the best experiences and memories I will ever have. Please donot let people upset you on the car you have currently. I have been on the Viper forum when I owned my Viper. They are the same way. They favor their car and talk down Vettes etc. It is the nature of the ongoing feud between car enthusiasts. These guys here, donot deserve to be called girls. They are as proud and enthusiatic about their car like you are now or used to be about your Vette. When you talk up another car on a forum not for that car, you must understand that you have opened up a can of worms. Donot take it personal. Enjoy your Viper and come on here and say hi. Posting pictures might not be the right way to say HI....Just a opinion from a real girl here.

Unbelievable!! I cant understand why some people have the need to **** on someones leg. Get a grip man.....the guy has every reason to want to show off his house, wife & car for Gods sake!! These are the things we work for & should be proud of. These are lifes accomplishments. If youre so friggin jealous of other peoples "things" or "situations", then go out and make a change for the better to improve your own life........dont feel the need to spread your disease like hatred everytime you see someone with more than you.

Grow up man.......these are Corvettes not Ferraris or some other exotic. I love my Z as much as any of you love your Vette, but Jeez...................All the guy was doing was what he said he would in his other post (if you read it).......which was get back with us to let us know the differences he found in the 2 cars.

Jason, I dont really know you, but congrats on the car & yea, your house is very nice. , as well as your wife. Good luck with the car & enjoy!

 

actually I think Edmond Oklahoma is rated in the Top 5 towns in America as well.

 

Damn right the're not Ferraris And let him "show off" his car in the viper forum where it might be more welcome. You don't come into the CF's general section and bad mouth a vette while praising a Chrysler over it. Sounded pretty biased to me. I guess some of you can't understand though.

 

Dude, get over it!!!! I say if the guy has owned 5 vettes and found something better he can post that he likes it better if he wants. After all he's not a troll (member since 02').

fact of the matter is both cars suck on the inside. The vette because of cheap platic crap and that you can reach behind your radio bezel and rewire the radio while its in the dash . The viper because you can wear anything other than dr shoals slippers to drive without stepping on your own feet and the center console is bigger than the seat. they both have cheap written all over them, but we buy them anyways and love them. so what!

i do agree that this thread is more exciting than "were's the wave" or "how old were you when you bought your first vette" or "why do the mustangs try to race me"

p.s. dont join viper alley!

 

Sweet Ride, congrats. I would drive it!

 

GM cut some corners on the vette but I wouldn't right it off as cheap. MO and you're entitled to yours unfortunately.

 

You obviously have not driven a Viper. I just finished an 8 hour trip in mine and it was very comfortable. I just sold my Vette ( which I LOVED ) and the Viper is just as comfortable on a long trip. The only problem was there is no cruise control. ( Stupid if you ask me ) .

Jason. - Welcome to Viper ownership. It's a blast. I just picked up a 98 GTS. I have always wanted one and now can afford one but not the other so the Vette had to go. I know what you mean about the rockstar thing. It's fun at first but can get annoying. The biggest problem with the Viper is the attention. I have yet to come out of a store / mall / restaurant etc etc and not have someone standing beside it taking pictures or looking at it. When you drive it every time you stop at a light someone is talking to you or asking me to take a picture with their camera phones or digital cameras. I've had guys get out their video cameras and walk around it. As far as the interior I would have to say I think the Vette had a nicer interior than my Viper. I found it to be more classy and comfortable but then again I didnt buy the Viper for creature comforts. They are 2 different cars yet both amazing. I dont track my cars so I can't tell you what the performance differences are but I do know that the Viper feels tighter and more stuck to the road than the Vette. The a$$ end of the Viper will come out FAST with the torque it has and with no active handling or traction control it can ugly real fast. As far as sound....there will never be anything that sounds as good as a V8 to me. The Viper stock is probably the worst sounding car I have ever heard. Mine has a high flow cats and a full Borla Cat back. sounds really good now... but stock....yuck. As far as acceleration there is no comparison. It pulls HARD from all rpms and the car just doesnt seem happy unless it's doing 120 mph.

There's my comparison. Both amazing cars to me and I will own another Vette some day. Hopefully a C6 Z06 when they come down in price. After the Viper I want a Cobra and then probably back to a Vette. All in good time. Like yourself I'm young enough to be able to enjoy them all before I'm 50...then I'll buy a motorhome and do some travelling. ha ha..

Enjoy the Viper. It's a blast. Oh ya.... You should have bought a red one....they're much faster...LOL

 

I started to do a similar comparison on the Ford Gt VS my C5 Vert and they moved it to OTHER CARS.

Is the Viper different than a Ford GT in comparison to a Vette, which is what I was writing about? The comparison....

Enjoyed you post! Glad you got to stay in General, because it is educational for other C5 owners.

 

Good looking car but. . .it's still a Chrysler product.

 

Great post. A thread slamming Corvettes on the Corvette Forum and when people don't like it he calls us "girls." Can you imagine the horror that we all didn't kiss his shoes?

 

Great car the Viper. If I had the money, I'd but the GTS coupe and keep my C5 as well!!

 

Vettebuyer5863, nice to read someone tha also realized that they just got sharded on.

I traded my Viper off to get another Vette. There can be no argument that the Viper garners more looks by the public. In the end the Vette does give you more bang for your buck and is the best of two worlds. The Viper is a very heavy feeling car and is not comfortable. It's a very cool car and the V10 doesn't hurt. I really believe that overall the Vette, ZO6, is a much better rounded car.

 

No...its only you, oh holy & wise one that can see into the box we call a computer & know exactly what the emotion & tone of thought the poster had intended.

I suppose though, that now since youre also wise enough to slam Ferrari, and even hint that a Vette (C5) can rival one, makes it totaly useless to converse with you.

 

 

The Viper is more exclusive no doubt. My brother-in-law's brother is selling his 98 Viper. It is red with silver stripes and says it is only one of eleven built in that combo that year. It gathers lots of attention. But it does not get driven much. That is a shame.

 

I feel bad for people like you. What I would have to say about you would take to much bandwidth...
