Each car has its strong points and weaks points, The Viper is suprerior in some ways, and the Corvette is superior in some ways PERIOD. Until you experience both cars, all your data really doesnt prove anything, but the point that for every 200 corvettes you see on the road, you see one Viper, and before you call me a Viper Boy, check my signature and how many years Ive been on this board. I call Myself the CORVIPER Man. Some of you guys have become worse than the people on the Viper boards, I supspect that is from the decade of beatings the Viper has given the Vette, I took those beating also, but have no ill towards such a great looking fantastic performing car, that is why I bought one.

They are coming out with a MOPAR tune for the cars, supposedly, with that, they can touch base on 610-620rwhp. So basically bolt ons, and this car can make 600+rwhp. Zs have trouble braking 500+rwhp with bolt ons.

...... But if my plan was to just do bolt ons to either car, then I'd buy an 08 Viper. Not the case though, Z's, IMO, can make more power, more conveniently, and probably more economically.

The 08 Viper is, undoubtedly, a sexy car in SSG w/ coilvoers and SSR wheels though.
CLEARLY. I have no idea why this is still an argument...

All I know is that 2nd gen vipers look the best

I did not bother to read through all of the pages on this thread but I do have to agree with you on the Gen II Viper being the best.

Who cares, go by the damn thing! Get blue, red, black or what ever. Just don't get brown or people will think the UPS truck is coming down the road.
