Love my vette, but one look at interior quality and it's a Chevy

I think the vette and viper occupy different niches hence might be tricky comparing them.

I compare the vette to a chic who is a lady in the streets but a freak in the sheets.

the viper on the other hand is a 24/7 trump in a leather thong.

I was watching top gear where they beat the crap out of a 05 srt 10 and at the end of the run, there was smoke coming out of the plastic exhaust covers. It is simply not a refined car

the vette on the other hand is more refined.......except the chevy interior.

if i had to choose one, I'd go with the viper...my choice of women might have something to do with it
