I just stumbled onto this thread. Have a few things to say.

1. I did not buy my Viper because it is a "Viper". I did not buy it because it is considered to be one of the baddest american cars built. I bought it because it is a blast to drive. I think many people on this site has forgotten what car ownership is all about sometimes.

2. People are bringing up costs. Let me add a few things about costs.
You can pickup a GEN I or GEN II resonable. Anywhere from 30K up.
These cars (I and most II), unless you totally beat them down or wreck them do not go down in value! I tracked GEN I prices
for 2 years prior to my purcahse. The average price was flat, not going up, not going down. Given flat to possible increasing prices
the I am saving 5, 10, 15, 20K buy buying another brand seems true, until you take resale into account.

3. Back to the fun of driving the car. You can take a Viper and put it at a red light next to any car. Place kids in front of the cars, and a very high percentage will be drawn to the Viper. There is nothing like putting a smile on a kids face. I usually keep matchbox cars in my car of a Viper to hand out to the kids that are really cool. Oh, and chics dig it to :) I have one summer under my belt driving the car and several propositions and flashes. Something tells me driving my Ram or Jeep I would not have gotten those :)

Why cant some people take their head out of their ass, and realize Dodge People do not care about Corvettes. Some people will never learn, when a company putts 5 times as much money into a car, and it is still looked at as an inferior product they obviously don’t get it.…..

Yes you look stupid.

I can do more with a Vette for about 20 grand less then you can get out of a stock Viper.


How do you figure that? Bling and add-ons are never ending to both cars. Performance wise you can do WAY more to the Viper. With the strained V8 Vette, there's a limit. That's why the Viper holds its spot for the fastest production car in the world with some add on mods. What was it? 0-60 in 2.9 seconds? So much for that idea.

well, from what ive seen....even with BOTH vehicles twin turboed....the lingerfelter KILLS the venom viper....all day 0-60 in 1.9

The 8.4L Viper is still a complete rumor. For all anyone knows right now, Dodge may keep the 8.3

That's funny that you guys talk about the venom Viper because I read that the Viper and Venom Viper kicked the ass out of the Vette, oh and isn't the Mclaren a sports car? And if you wanna complain about a price on the Viper why don't you look complain about the Ferrari or the Porsche, they cost alot of money sure they are very reliable cars but still the Viper is bigger and better. And I don't think you should buy a car just because it is the best, if you like vette buy one if you like Viper buy it.

Although I do enjoy all the back and forth chat on both cars. In all reality it comes down to how much air and fuel you can cram into the powerplant before it blows up. We should try to find data from FAILD tests with both V8s and V10s. That would be the information to determin if it is worth the extra cash for the Viper.

Sorry Lime_Icees The Viper has the most power potential and bang for your buck still even VS The McLaren F-1 with a record holding 0 to 200 mph in 21 seconds, the Hennesy Viper road legal car period.

I agree with you SRT . . . a Viper looks more menacing and exotic than a Corvette. Maybe it is because more Corvettes are on the road, but I couldn't give a $hit about one. I've seen it before. But the Vipers have an allure about them, from the lines, to the headlights, to the hood.
