Darn it. I should have had a choice for 'neither' as in you'd rather have a 911S or a Cayman S or Exige (or some such car that's not all engine). Not that I mean the Z06/Viper is all engine, but they are brutes.

Well now that you mention it, a Cayman S with Euro Delivery would be nice too.

I voted Viper vert.

Neither of these cars are on my lust list, but since I like the top down and the Viper is less common I'd go with that.

If I were a billionaire and could afford as many cars as I wanted, I would not buy either. I'd get an F430 and call it a day.

Cars in the $70K to $80K range don't do anything for me that I could get for $55k with a Boxster S. That car is fast enough for me and sexy. The Vette and the Viper are just blunt instruments IMHO. If I had one of those I'd feel like I need a bunch of grey chest hair covered by gold chains.

Z06 looks way better than Viper


I don't even need to double check their performance comparison sheet

I voted on the Viper vert, but honestly I like them all. It will be interesting with the 600hp Viper out soon.

I'd probably rather go with a GT3 or 911S (but I think once you're spending so much for a 911S the GT3 isn't so much more money to get a lot nicer car).

On the other hand, I'd probably like the Cayman S or Boxster S almost as much, just wish it weren't so expensive (half the power of a Viper).

I think it's great how easy they are able to gain HP in the Viper V10 with 600hp it'll be in the top handful of production cars.

I am in love with current Viper styling, even if the Z06 does one up it with performance. I voted vert because I like top down motoring.

I chose the Viper Coupe, assuming it's the new 600hp model. The existing Viper is an even match for the Z06 in racetrack performance, with better at-the-limit handling manners. With the new infusion of power, the Viper will be the track king until Chevy comes out with the Blue Devil.

Although I too would rather go Porsche, that's not one of the options so for me, it's the Vette, no question.
