Welcome to the forum!

Much depends on what you intend on using it for.

Daily driver or weekend toy.

DD=Vette
WT=Vette (we are biased here)

Either way enjoy the new ride.

I was in the same dilemma. Viper or Vette. I drove an 02 GTS and an 07 R/T and an 03 Z06.

Obviously, you know what I picked. For the money you can't beat the performance, especially in this economy.

Welcome to the forum. Post up some pics of your Cobra, I'm a big fan of the 03-04

Welcome to the forum. If you're looking to mod your next car, you have to remember that performance parts for the Viper will be much more expensive than parts for the Vette. I agree that the Vette is the best "bang for the buck." With the money you'll save you can get some goodies that will make your Vette even more fun.
