Maybe 5% of the market thinks that way. I have a feeling the C7Z is going to have things you can't have in aftermarket yet, if ever, and it will be worth it to buy one over a modded base C7 because of them.

The Viper isn't moving many units because it really doesn't distance itself from older competition and doesn't have the customer base of a Corvette or 911. I'd really like to see Viper vs R8 vs GT-R YTD numbers. I'd bet they aren't too far apart...

I think both the GTR and the R8 has the Viper covered.

If you want to really know why the Viper fell off the face of the earth go on cars.com and do a search on new Vipers. I think you'll find the typical Viper in stock has a list price of way over $130,000. That should be a strong message about how the Corvette should be priced, and hopefully will be. It's hard to sell Dodge and Chevy's for six figures for more than a short run of very wealthy car nuts.

way to expensive, performance is virtually the same, and the gen 4 IMO is the better looking car, viper buyers don't like all the nanny's either.
The Z will start in the 80's and will outperform viper, the only downside is that once again you won't be able to tell the difference from the base 10 feet away, but than again the base c7 looks pretty darn awesome
