Viper vs Z06 which one???
 

okay after reading the "sunday drive" below by StreetKing (just plain awsome i might add) I have to ask this question...

My friend just unloaded his 2005 Viper for a 2007 Z06 and stopped by my place while I was working on the camaro. It was gorgeous Saturday here in North Carolina so we went for a "little jaunt". After hitting the corners hard and hitting the 60 - 170 mph ramp up NUMEROUS times he asked me what I thought compared to the Viper. IN MY OPINION, I just felt the Viper had a bit more bottom end coming out of the corners and just plain more raw power. Now i will give you the Z06 had more feature comforts, more bling and seemed like more top end, but the Viper had the "kick in the pants" power.

Now don't get me wrong, I'd give the right one for either one of the two, but if I had the choice, it's the Viper for me... (maybe I'm biased huh Scott)

What do ya'll think???:question:

Have you seen or read about the 2008 Viper? :thumbsup:

My personal preference is the '97 - '99 GTS. Throw a supercharger on it like this one:

My Old Viper

and you'll have nearly 600 rwhp. :D

Yes, I think you're a bit biased towards Mopar for some reason. :D

I haven't ridden in either of them so I guess for me it would be a hard comparison. The Viper has more shock value where as the Vette has a sleeker look.

I like where these cars are going, though. The new Viper with that all new V10 that's coming out in '08, and the not so secret Corvette Blue Devil with the supercharged LS9.

Z06, but we all have our own opinions. Both are truly incredible cars, with slightly different character sets.

That would be a tough call for me!!
I like both cars and think they both can run fast!!!:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Z06 is to much like the regular vette. You have to really look at it going down the road to tell. I think it's hot but their is no mistaking a viper. I am a big chevy guy by the way.

The Viper definately wins the gawk factor but it's not the car the ZO6 is. The Viper is alot slower than the ZO6. I have had a Viper in my stable since '96 and I still like them, but no comparision to the Z. I still have a '97 GTS that's Twin Turboed. I had a new '06 Coupe at the end of '05 and got my C6Z in Jan.'06. I sold the '06 Coupe 4 months later. The '06 looked cool after I lowered it, but to me, it was slow and very uncomfortable on the inside..

My wife even made the comment to me when we were driving around in it one day, "you must not like this car, you never want to drive it"...
