Corvette ZO6 250 300

For the money, the Z06 looks the best, but I bet you want a lot of looks, so then I'd go for either the porsche or the viper because both are reasonably priced and will get all the stares you need. Also, they are awesome to drive.

The Ferraris are the best obviously, but the price is absurd.

Personally, I would go for the Porsche, it would probably be better to drive because I bet the Viper would suck in traffic.

I could care less about the looks really. I just want a faster car than my S. I think Im going with the ZO6 for that reason. I dont really want to pay all this cash to sit on the strip. My 100 miles will be spent in three digit figures on the highway

I'd personally get the Viper.

It catches alot of attention and the torque will make the z06 feel retarded.

actually, i find that the viper is as easy to drive in traffic as honda civics. all the controls take very little effort to manipulate.

i'd personally go for the 355. after all, you're in vegas, and i've personally lost 2-3 times as much (as it costs to rent a 355 for 24hrs) over a weekend at the casinos on several occassions...

If you truly want a high-speed beast for cheap go with the Z06, if you want a car that screams, get the 355 and suck it up, the extra $250 will be worth it.

Viper is fast in a straight-line, but just isn't that enjoyable to drive. Plus, if you're going to do triple digits, I would feel safer behind the wheel of the Z06 at 150+. Something about having antilock brakes and a much better/safer chassis.

I disagree totally. I would get the viper. I find them very easy to drive and a blast, much more so then the Z06. If you want pimp factor, the viper or ferrari is where it is at. The viper doesn't look all that more expensive either. As long as it is a 2001 or newer it has anti-lock brakes.

Why play golf when you could be driving one of those cars?
