Vette/Viper Comparison Pics
Stopped by my airbrush friends' place today and look what I saw parked in front. He just bought it, an 06' Viper.
Nice car but not to crazy about his license plate.
Anyways, thought it would make some interesting comparison shots.

Now let's see. I bought a C5 because I liked the lines better than a C6. The Viper is a very nice car but it's lines look too chopped up...like an afterthought. Thanks Jim for the cool pics and for reminding me why I picked the C5!

Yea, we joked around about it and I wouldn't have any problem with him right now since I'm pushing a little over 500 rwhp.
Later when he adds the blower and a few other performance mods is when I might have to be concerned...

That's the stock stance on the Viper but he's already got a set of coil overs that are going on it that will slam it down.

Hmmmm - Jim, have him bring his Z06 KLR around.
Bet he will have trouble with my C5 Vert
, and your Z06
Run a bunch of Vipers (on the track of course) - dang they are slow

..and my thoughts exactly about the Viper.I will have to admit though that I like the newer body styles a lot better than the earlier ones...
