America's best sports car...Viper or Corvette?

[derek]

Hey vahalla and nsf4 stop fighting. hehe. Vipers are rad and until i ride in one and discover they are uncomfortable, then I am going to deny the fact that they might not great. So i would go for a viper. Unless it is one of those old vettes, like the one chris rock had in rush hour, I think they are called stingrays(maybe, just a guess). Yea so I would take one of those instead of a viper. Those old vettes are awesome

Viper

God I love this car...

Viper is the stuff people fantasize about (if i had that much money i'd get a lotus)...

If someoen was going to give me either car, i'd take the viper..Who wouldn't?...but i'ts not really a fair comparison with the huge price difference...Hell with the cost of the Viper i'd buy a Vette and an subaru or somethign to drive around in the winter...

damn I love this car.. :Q :Q

I like the '92-95 Vipers. They had the coolest rims, and the side exhausts that Dodge eventually replaced. The newer five-spoke rims look really weak in comparison.

But a new Vette would be a nice daily driver.

right, a corvette as a daily driver. I hope to god you dont have any snow or ice where ever you live, cuz you will regret having any muscle/sports car in michigan in the winter. Its hard enough to control with FWD.

 

[stonerdave]

You're kidding right? I don't know where you live in MI, but there's little snow where I'm at.

In fact, I just saw an ealy 90's one today, and a Z28 SS.

I'd choose between the two cars based on their looks, because let's face it - either one of them is gonna be a helluva lot faster than my Chevy Lumina

For a newer car, I'd pick the Viper. Those things just look plain sweet.

However, I'm not sure I'd pick it over a late 70's/very early 80's Vette. My uncle has a pearl white '81 Vette that is one of the sweetest looking cars I've seen. Heck, I had him tow it all the way from Iowa to Ohio so I could drive it from my wedding ceremony to the reception

I like my 3000GT just fine... but if I had a choice I'd take the Ligenfelter (spelled wrong I'm sure) version of either of these cars... preferably the viper because there's just too many corvettes around here.

 

[iamwiz82]

stoner, i am tlaking in general. You would really have wanted it in December? when we got blasted with 3 feet of snow??

 

[Mutilator]

Muwahah look what I just found
Fast

Viper...

 

[urameatball]

I'd do both (but use them differently).

Viper: put on driveway and never use it.

Corvette: drive everyday cuz I could actually sit in it for an hour and not fall into a coma

<< cuz I could actually sit in it for an hour and not fall into a coma >>


It'd be the best hour of your life

It seems the majority of folks here are on the Viper bandwagon, but I'm gonna have to go with the Vette.

The Corvette is America's sports car!

 

[A2KLAU]

VIPER VIPER VIPER!!! I love that car even though I am only 16 and can't drive! The Vette is a muscle car, but for speed I don't think it will be fast enough... Viper is also a muscle car in some ways but I would say it is muscle and speed balanced. I love the Viper!!!

This ----> Link. Too bad they stopped making them.

Of the two you listed, I'd have to pick the Viper GTS.

 

[robisc]

America's best of all time: Ford Shelby Cobra with a 427 side oiler but between the choices given I'd pick the Viper.
