Oh sad as the tear in my eye. I wouldnt mind a viper tooo.

Crazy maintenance. I am surprised the die hard muscle car fans are thrilled with the new engine technology. I'd still take a C6 Z06 over it I think?

C6 ZO6=way better bang for the buck car

Viper=more exclusive+more expensive

take your pick

The Viper gets crazy attention. The new lines on the C6 is sick tho. It's such a toss up for me but I am leaving towards the Vett. My new car will probably be a C5. C6 is a bit out of my range.

I hate vipers with a passion. Those cars dont feel right at 180+ mph. If you drive any other exotic at those speeds they still feel safe. The viper feels like it was gonna lift right up off the pavement, and that was with a front and bi-level rear spoiler. I'll have to get pics of the car. Looks nice, lots of work done to it, but it really didnt impress me.

Thats because you can make 900Hp motors on 87 pump gas! Its not like back in the 50's and 60's you had big motors, big compression, and 112+ octane race fuel.

I have to agree. But as for maintenance, Thats why alot of us guys love musclecars. I look forward to tuneing this and tinkering with that, checking timeing, valve lash <if it's a solid roller> I get off on that shit

Also. I sure as hell hope it doesn't handle like an exotic car, it's not one. Sounds just like my Charger at high speeds. scares the hell right out of you...

gives me a stiffy just thinking about it

Exotic, not exotic, whatever. For $190k+ he's got into the thing, I'd rather have a Ferarri.

One other thing... why couldnt they put the pedals in the right spot? lol
(anyone that's driven one knows what I'm talking about)

Maintenance in regards to replace part cost. Your muscle car guys buy an entire unibody for $2.99. The hood on the Viper is like $8K or some shit.
