If you'll think Vipers ROCK....don't you'll remember that corvette is fast than the viper in the ALMS?????

PLUS im all american tradition!!!!!!!!!!!!
CORVETTES KICKS A$$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I agree with some of u on this. Vipers and Corvettes shouldn't be compared. V8's should be in a group (w/ a liter size max. of course) and v10's should be compared with v10's, allow i belicve the viper is the only current v10 in production.

hp/torque 800/850

who's better?

Troy this is just stupid!!!!!!!ur comparing a $45,000 stock vette and a $300,000 fully tuned Viper.
 
What about that the Leignfelter (spelling massivly) vette that does 0-60 in 1.94secs? you could compare it with the 800TT.

Troy if you make a comparsion between vipers and vettes use the Z06 and the ACR not the 800TT.

Vettes are cooler:cool::P They're classics, been around forever. The Z06 is only a few thousandths of a second slower than a GTS, if properly driven.
 
The new Z06 has 405hp, while the old Z06 only had 385.


Either way, Vette's are cooler!:P:cool:
 
The newest Viper and Vette, an interesting comparo. The Vette has the street cred of being fast, a good handling car, and very reliable.
The Viper, with the exception of the newest model has a reputation for being a brute. And Dodge has been fighting handling gremlins from the beginning. The car likes to swap ends. Some of the testers from R & T say it has the most unpredictable handling since the early 911 Porsche.

Over the years Porsche has fixed the vile handling of the 911, Dodge will do the same. The Viper is awesome, If you can afford it. It is also the car to test yourself in. (On the track only, please)

Comparing the Vette to the Viper Is like comparing Mike Tyson to Muhammad Ali. The Viper is Tyson, Big, Brutish, and as subtle as brick thru a picture window. The Vette is the "standard" bearer since 1956. The first few years (1953-1955) the Vette was ridiculed. It almost became a part of history, instead of a maker of it in 1954 when Chevy considered cancelling production.

Give the Viper a chance. When it is fully sorted out it will be the king of the heap. It is already clawing its way there.
 
Well I got my paper back. I got a B+ on it. I guess my teacher isn't a car fan. But oh well it didn't drop my 104% any :D

Well I hope this discussion can still continue.

i dont agree. strap into a V8 GT mustang, and you will definately think it has a lot of power and style, for its price.

the only way i can agree with your statement, is if u are refering to the times when emmissions first started or if u are refering to the V6 models.

and by the way, what muscle cars are "all about" is a fast car that is affordable. thats part of the big muscle car boom of the 60s and 70s: they were affordable cars with big engines and power.



to comment on this poll, though, id have to choose the corvette. the older corvettes have a lot of style, and i enjoy watching the C5R's race in ALMS.

Vipers are pretty slick too, but as many people have mentioned before, the viper is 30 grand more and has more displacement, so its not exactly a fair comparison. i would have to go with the corvette based on style and history alone.

in GT3, i bought the vette and viper back to back, because they are awesome cars.

Some facts.

The Vettes Acceleration is better (slightly faster). And the Viper has a higher top speed 195mph (drag limited)
 
depends what vette your talking about. I heard the z06 does 0-60mph in just under 4 seconds (3.9) and i know the viper does it in 3.8...most ppl have it listed at 4.0 but i saw it on TV tested stock, and they clocked a 3.8, also supercars.net has the 2002 Dodge Viper GTS ACR listed its 0-60 is 3.8
