Congrats. Great looking car. I like the wheels too.
Coming from a Viper, how does the performance compare? Acceleration, braking, cornering, mileage. I have no experience with a viper and always thought they accelerate better, brake about the same, and corner worse with worse mileage than the Corvette. Just curious to know from someone who has had both if my uninformed guesses are near close or way off?

Mileage was a TON worse but again it was heavily modded.
Cornering i can't really say was worse just different. The weight differentioal is way off from the Vette and you could really use the throttle to assist in the corners more in the Viper. Just my initial feel.
AS far as the BSM's. I am one of those weirdo's that likes them so far
