Seen a viper exactly like that at the TX2k14 roll race, looks amazing! How is it compared to the ZR1 so far?

ss2z06

Sexy!

LS9Drew

Ur dead to us! Lol those cars look great

Dave Schotz

I think they are nice cars, but would never have given up the ZR1 for the Viper. I think it makes sense to 'add' a Viper to the collection, but you won't be able to drive that car as conveniently as the ZR1, and the Viper Cabin is very 'claustrophobic' difficult to see out of when compared to the ZR1.

At least you bought the T/A model! Only way to go if you're going to do it, in my mind.

Congrats.

Why would anybody be mad. You wanted a slower car who cares. Actually J/K that is one awesome car and god bless America for some great choices. Let us know your thought after you get some seat time.

RPO_Z06

I love the color choice! Nicely done...

Frans96ss

haha... You cant make up your mind can you?

ZBADESTZ@Straightline

Seriously nice car....

Sweet ride.

What's up with that TA on the side? (Thinking late 80s Trans Am).

What year and model is that? Specs? I am not very familiar with Vipers at all.


Looks good in "Construction Cone" orange Hahaha Just kidding. Looks great!!!

SquirrelyNutz

The TA model is kind of like the Z07 package on the Z06. I think the TA model was made to outdo the ZR1 on a track or something like that.

Ok - Found it.

Well I only got to put 20 miles on her so far so rly not much to report. I will say this, for streetable power on tap (low end), the ZR wins all the way. This car delivers at the top. This car however once you sit in it, you feel much more like your either at the race or about to qualify, way more intense. And just at 20 miles in, the looks it gets were non stop. The ZR is happy where ever you want her to be. This car has a lot more attitude and wants to be driven. Interior on it kills the ZR, not even a comparison
Yes I am ....

Thanks Dave. The int is more compact but I actually like that. The seats are harder but can tell already they do a much better job. I rly didn't have any view issues and your are correct-it certainly is not as convenient a car as the ZR. Agree, the TA is the only way to go. We'll see if they make a gen v ACR.
Thanks and I agree---America has some very serious contenders representing her---just next time don't forget to capitalize the "G" in God...
thanks RPO---I was sold on the color when I 1st saw it at the int auto show.
I cant and needless to say, it makes the Ms. (to be) very nervous
Thanks Z
TA - Time Attack.....and laff my azz off, I actually used a construction cone as a ref to describe the cars color once...
That's correct. The pres of SRT wasn't very happy when the 4 year old ZR beat their new snake....so they molded the Time Attack edition

rjwz28

Solid choice

I've had the same debate a few times myself

I'm a Corvette guy at heart, but I'd like to have a Gen4 ACR and a Gen5 TA along the way... now let's see how my cash and my aspirations get along with each other in the future

barduch

That is a seriously great outrageous color. Orange is the perfect color for a 2 seat rocket.

rob62

is it a metallic? looks opaque from the pic. Either way enjoy in good health!

K B Vettin

Sweet ride, the TA is awesome. At least now you won't beat yourself up about what mod to do next.

ZR1Cat

Wow, what a gorgeous car! I am happy for you and think you've got an exciting sports car. Vipers are rare and very exotic looking, especially the newest model. Congrats and enjoy that bad boy.

Glenn Quagmire

I've tried to like Vipers, but to me they look like a clown shoe. Especially the gen 5's. However, I do like the orange, and you'll have a pretty rare car. Whoever ends up with your ZR is going to be pretty lucky! I like what you did to it! Let us know what your thoughts are on the Viper.

QUIKAG

Great car, please keep us updated on build quality, reliability, and durability.
