hey now, its just my simple opinion. I worked at a dealership, i worked around the cars, did basic work (only on C5's). The build quality is just crap on them. The interior squeaks, the radio came from a damn Pontiac Sunfire and they leak oil after 10k miles. Fast car? Sure.. not saying it isnt. But its the build quality that kills the car.
BTW Ericp, the wheels on your SRT compliment the car nicely.

I can say this. I hate corvettes. I hate their owners too. I can say this because my dad is a Viper owner. No, it is not a Viper EGO thing. Corvette guys are dicks. They think the Cpos is so bad ass and always so much better than a viper. They all wear their 80's members jackets and leather jackets and think they rule the streets cause they bought an overpriced V8 when they coulda got a 10cyl monster.
anyways, people can say the viper owners are dicks. I kno these guys personally (club members) and they are great guys who just want to have fun.:2cents: :2cents: :2cents:

THe ZO6 is faster than a viper and probably cheaper. I also have seen that commercial on tv last year so maybe it ran before they banned it.

now I will agree about alot of vette owners being assholes. When I lived in Orlando, the first time I saw a C6 Z06 on the interstate, me and a buddy of mine tried to get him to get on it a little. Dude wouldn't even look at us, guess cause we were in a 94 4 cylinder S-10 lol. When I took my SRT to the track I met 2 viper owners and they were both cool as shit.
As far as the cars themselves go. I love both the Viper and the Vette. My dad owned a C5 vette and it was a very nice car. Haven't been in a Viper unfortunately. Either way they are both just a Dodge and a Chevy.
And thanks Wal-Mart, sorry about comin off as a dick. You spoke badly about one of my fav. chevys, I'm a chevy guy, so it struck a nerve. +1 to you:goodjob:

I have ridden in both one after another (no street racing) and that is what I would suspect. 510hp compared to 505, 3,410 lbs. vs 3150. So just driving around on the street I doubt you'd notice a difference, unless you were racing a vette/viper.

Oh oh, one more thing! I find it pretty pathetic that the Z needs 7 liters to make 500hp N/A, and the Viper's even worse with its 8.3. The F430 makes 490hp with just 4.3 liters.

ok....welll the viper and vette are very restrictive. we all know this. Also, the Viper is still running push rod. in '08 they are having VTEC yea-uh. They arent making '07's. But still only pushing 600hp.

Nah the 87 has lower compression rotors and a different turbo so it makes a little less power. When I had my exhaust on it was putting down 216 to the wheels, not bad for a $300 exhaust on an otherwise stock car.

But once again, im not comparing performance of the cars, so dont think i am, im just saying the build quality of the Corvette (as well as pretty much all GM cars) is cheap and toy-like.

I was looking at Vipers and Z06s when I bought my C5Z.
You will get more bang for the buck with a Corvette.
Sure, look at the bad roof on some of the C6Zs, now look at most ALL Vipers and their front ends not lining up with their headlights. C6Z w/ just drag radials runs 10s and the Viper... ? Not to mention the huge difference in price on the new ones. Test after test came back with the same results. Sure, the Viper isn't too far behind the Z06... but then there's the price factor.
This debate can go on all day long. I looked at both, researched plenty. If it's not your cup of tea, so be it. Don't generalize everyone. I'm sure someone could generalize you (TRYMY4.0) about being a daddy's boy and having everything bought for him. Point is, everyone's different and driving a certain car will not automatically make you a dick. You didn't seem as snotty when I met you in person (bought the Cobalt boost gauge from you a while back).
As for Wal-Mart, go hate on something else. It's all you do in every post. I'd LOVE to see what kind of rocket on wheels you drive. Must be a Ferrari the way you talk about everyone else's cars.

time out. Vipers are not meant for qtr mile passes. They are meant for the road courses. Back in the day, LeMans had numerous restrictions on the vipers to slow them down b/c GM would bitch about how fast they were. And the Corvettes were running a non production motor. True, now the Zo6s are pretty quick and can handle the tracks a lot more. But, your comparing the C6 and the SRT. The C6 is 70k. The SRT 90k. But, you go back a few years, get a 98 for 45k, spend 5-10k on the motor, you've got 700-1000hp. The SRTs are a little over priced, but the viper over all has the better bang for the buck.
my dad has a '06 SRT-10 Coupe and with a few mods he could have well over 800hp. But the car is meant for corners, not straight lines.

Perhaps I should've rephrased it a little. Not sure why the Corvette hate, but I take it back, kayfuNk.
I'll rephrase with: I'll take a cheap interior over an overpriced and underpowered Nissan any day of the week.

Yeah. I couldn't justify the price difference between the C5Z and C6Z. My buddy's looking at a Viper GTS. He's torn between the C5Z and GTS.

I never said they werent fast.. as a matter of fact, i did say they are. I'm just saying that GM could have done a way better job of putting them together for what they charge. But there are a majority of 'Vette owners who think their shit dont stink, as with many groups of car owners. I'm sure the same things could be said about most of these owners of popular cars, just some get more publicised then others....Mustangs,Camaros,Supras,EVos...the list goes on. But the thread started isnt exactly breaking the mold of being a stereotypical owner. When you catch me making BS claims about stuff and personally attacking you, then you can pick on me, because im not picking on you personally by any means.
What i drive is no matter, i dont put my car on any kind of podium and think its god. Yes its a sports car, but i know my niche in the 'food chain' , if you want to call it that.

well, if your buddy needs some help seeing the light...cough viper cough. :lmfao: If he has ?'s or wants to meet viper people, I can help.
you going this sunday?
Yeah, I'll probably make my way down if you're talking about the SELOC meet.
Going to order me some 18x11.5 CCWs for the back since my 19s have very little tire options out there. I'm in no rush since my car is basically stock.
I'll see ya Sunday if you're out there.

if i could buy a GTS or C5Z,id take the GTS in a hearbeat....i really want a ZR-1 though...and the reason corvette gets all this,is because itts been around for 50 years,so maybe if the viper keeps goin, it will be known as an american classic sports car.

Obviously that was banned because they dont want kids to get the idea to get in a car like that and drive off. It's just the mere thought of having kids watching the commercial and getting in there dadies car and ride thru the sky, lol.

Im not so sure about a viper being "built for the corners" persay. In a track test by Automobile magazine it had a full 1.2 seconds slower lap time than the ZO6 and turned .06 less g's left side and .07 less g's on the right side on the skid pad.

to quote Jermey Clarkson "owning a viper is like having a pet elephant"
to quote Jermey Clarkson "owning a viper is like having a pet elephant"
or as he said with the Z06, "as something to live with everyday, I'd rather have bird flu."

I was looking at Vipers and Z06s when I bought my C5Z.
You will get more bang for the buck with a Corvette.
Sure, look at the bad roof on some of the C6Zs, now look at most ALL Vipers and their front ends not lining up with their headlights. C6Z w/ just drag radials runs 10s and the Viper... ? Not to mention the huge difference in price on the new ones. Test after test came back with the same results. Sure, the Viper isn't too far behind the Z06... but then there's the price factor.
This debate can go on all day long. I looked at both, researched plenty. If it's not your cup of tea, so be it. Don't generalize everyone. I'm sure someone could generalize you (TRYMY4.0) about being a daddy's boy and having everything bought for him. Point is, everyone's different and driving a certain car will not automatically make you a dick. You didn't seem as snotty when I met you in person (bought the Cobalt boost gauge from you a while back).
As for Wal-Mart, go hate on something else. It's all you do in every post. I'd LOVE to see what kind of rocket on wheels you drive. Must be a Ferrari the way you talk about everyone else's cars.
As for kayfuNk, well... he drives a 350Z. I'd be bitter too if I paid $30,000 for a 235whp car. :lmfao:
260 ;x and there's nothing to be bitter about, i stated simple fact, the outsides of vettes look great, dont be bitter because the inside of vettes look like tonka trucks, i could make a better interior with plado and toothpicks.

Perhaps I should've rephrased it a little. Not sure why the Corvette hate, but I take it back, kayfuNk.
I'll rephrase with: I'll take a cheap interior over an overpriced and underpowered Nissan any day of the week.
Cars are cars. One will take less money to make go faster. One will always be prettier. One will always be cheaper. Who cares...
...still waiting to see what kind of supercar Wal-Mart drives.
and your stupidity astounds me ;[, it's a Nissan which means when your chevy's dead and gone in a few years mine will be running strong, not to mention there's NUMEROUS reviews on the 350 being the best car for the $ under 30,000, i got the car for the looks, speed you can add to any car, a 13.8 quarter mile stock on a v6 is GOOD, as good as the base c5 vettes for 10 grand more with cheaper parts ;[, furthermore, i bought my Z for $22k, for the 40 you probably spent on your zo6 i could have a faster and MUCH NICER looking car than you.

Prove it. Until you do... your car is still overpriced and slow. I've been to a 350Z dyno day or two. Stock ones put down 230-235rwhp. Also, when is the last time YOU ran your car to a 13.8? Because others have ran an 11.9 in a bone stock C5Z06 doesn't mean I can or will.
How do you know my Chevy will be gone in a few years? How many have you owned and driven for 5-7 years? I'm no psychic but I'm going to venture out there and say... NONE. So you're just talking just to talk.
Your close-minded, biased opinion means nothing to me. What you read in a magazine and on the internet about being "the best car under $30,000" means absolutely nothing to me.
I'll continue basing my experiences on facts. You can go pick up the next Car and Driver and conjure up more rebuttles from there.

Nice commercial. Kids do have imaginations and personality. This should not have been banned....

Well as a past 350Z owner I can say this, the interior of the 350Z is a far cry from being nice. It looks as if Nissan let a 5 year old design it. All of the fake aluminum trim is a joke. With mods to my 350Z it was fast, and yeah for $8,000.00 it could have 450hp. But there is no match for "good ole american thunder" When you turn the key of a 500hp v8 everyone knows it. I would take the Z06 over a 350Z any day. And as far as the poor quality I call bullshit, every car manufacturer have thair problems. As far as the "big bad Viper" yeah it looks and sounds good can't argue with that. But get behind the wheel and you will wish someone would just shoot you and put you out of your misery. It rides like a tank, and god forbid you should need to reach for a cd or your wallet. With no room to even scratch your ass I start to feel a little claustrophobic.
Just my 2 cents!
