True, but the Z06 base price is about the same as a Viper's....I think its a matter of opinion, but the Corvette has been around for 54 years (since '53) and has alot more potential. Granted, the Viper can be pushed well above 1000HP, but that cost a $h!tload and isn't even practicle when the car is producing that much power. The Z06 can produce over 1000HP EASY with the LS2's and will still be streetable....Only problem is traction :005:.

I am not trying to perpetuate the debate here, but the reason why I like the Viper is not simply for power, it's just plain sexy. Aggressive stance, sleek, unique, and powerful. Even the shape of it viewed from above is reminiscent of a woman's hourglass figure. The vette, albeit around for a much longer time, is, well... a wedge with a big motor. It looks nice too, but in a more plain way. Of course I'm talking about the newer ones.

Anyway, now that I said my piece (yet again), I say we redirect this thread back to Neu vs Feigao XL.

Is there really anything more to say on the Neu vs Feigao? :007: LOL

I like the Viper too, it's one of the baddest looking cars ever made imo.

The 2006 Z06 is bad too... and looks much better, leaner and meaner than previous models. An average base model vette is nothing special, I agree, but the Z06 is a different animal. It really is a world class sports car that most normal joes can buy if they want to.

What is really sick is the Lingenfelter (no idea how it's spelled :019: ) corvette that has +1000HP at the rear wheels.

Check out this link to some fast American "production" cars... it has Motor Trend video clips of their tests. Stock Z06 vs. tuners. The modded Vette ran a 211mph mile and the Viper did 217mph. The bottom video is showing the instrument panel while accelerating in a stock Z06. 100mph comes up really quick... wow. :027:
