There are those who respect em. On here you just have the corvette owners..no corvette is a 6 cyl LOL theyre all gorgeous, either fat booty or narrow body
Heh. So on the Camaro5 forum there's a lot of Vette hating but on the Vette Forum there's a lot of Camaro5 admiration. Kinda speaks volumes doesn't it.

I cant understand why you would miss the c6 when you have a viper in your driveway. Truley a fantastic car. Imo better than the c6 in every way. I love my c6 but would choos to have a viper any day! As for the girlfriend situation, plenty of fish in the sea. With the viper im sure you will be able to take your pick

When you refer to "the C6" you're refering to the base coupe right?

MotorTrend has proven the statement to be 100% BS. I can only assume the replier to be a troll --who I will now ostracize.

Ironically a viper is actually a much more raw car. And it takes skill, because it doesn't have the nannies.
So it's actually more of a driver's car, which can be considered manly.
A base c6, that's just another old Man's car that anyone could drive.

I am laughing at the 600hp part, though. I it's likely not even making over 500hp.

A troll who you will ostracize huh? I think you should re read the ops original post he never had a zr1 you stupid moron, so posting a motor trend ad comparing the viper to a zr1 would make you the troll and pretty dumb as well.

the fact that you can't grasp the FACT that the Viper is in NO WAY better on all accounts than it's comparative ride in the C6 lineup is in fact.....'beyond you' !

But i agree, real men do drive vettes (and vipers) i used to drive one. And i almost got my *** kicked last weekend. Dude fell short LOL

To each their own. I think the viper and corvette are two awsome cars. Best bang for your buck is the vette tho hands down. Maybe in looks too. Either way cant go wrong with either. .

Pretty close. Maybe about 580. Not to the wheel, but over all. I will post up dyno sheets as soon as I get em

The Viper is a nice car, but for me, I never stared at Viper's my whole life thinking "one day I will have one" like I did with Corvettes. So, like I said, I have nothing against Vipers, IMO, the Corvette is "the" car for me. Were I rich, I would have a garage like Leno, but I'm not, so I have to choose my toys one at a time and pay one off before I buy another.
