so the viper wasnt built to compete with the vette?before the viper,the vette was the only real american sports cars,and when the viper is discontinued.......the vette will still be hereOriginally Posted by AnthonyF
Incorrect sir. Without the Shelby Cobra...there would be no Viper.
There isn't. SRT-10 was at 92k first, then the SRT-10 coupe was at 98k, the Viper ACR is supposed to be right at 96-98k
3rd,4th and 5th.

Chrysler went to Carrol Shelby when they wanted a sports car. After their 80's cheap turbo power hadn't saved them, they needed a car to represent the brand. It wasn't just marketed against the Vetee. It was more "Look what we can do"
Just compare a 92 Viper to a Cobra.
Carrol Shelby drove the Indy Pace Car in 1991

Sorry Ant .. lol what are you talking about ? You mean, how the 1st Gen of vipes tried to copy the look of the Shelby?
It was all about the Vettes and Shelby back in the day.. ****, The 1st real I thought was :
Mustang
Vette
Shelby ( trying to outdo the vette w/ fords backup after the vette killed the stang)
Essentially Shelby copied his own design, not dodge trying to make a knockoff. I like how the 1st gen viper has similar design cues of the cobra. They both look great. Sorry, but the build quality on most american cars isn't all that great... The 1st gen viper was built to be a street legal racecar. It has no exteior door handles, no roll up windows, no a/c.
ACR>ZR1>GTR IMO
Mustangs and Vettes have never been in the same field of cars. Of course a Vette will kill a Stang on all accounts, they're built for a completely different purpose.
ACR>zr1 all day, every day.
lolol My "sh*tty" 6cyl mustang walked a few Vettes, even a stock C6
I am not disrespecting Vette owners. I am saying the Viper IS better than the ZR-1. Period. Yes, I am a Viper enthusiast and will be a Viper owner soon (could have been already...stupid mudstain).
In LeMans I will bash the Vette b/c the Vette is GM backed and has 20 million to back EACH car. The Viper teams are generally private owned and only has $1 Million for the ENTIRE year.

They dont sell? Honestly Julio, do some research before talking about another vehicle if you know nothing about it. I know nothing about the GTR, all I can say is I dont care for it.
The viper doesnt sell? They make what...? 3,500 a year and hold their resale VERY well. They are in the top cars for holding their resale value.
Quality of the viper? Ever worked on one? I am 23 and Im the only one who touches the Vipers coming into the shop. I love how they desgined everything about it and the strength of all the parts and quality put into every detail.
The influence of the Viper came from the Shelby. You can say the C5 vette copied the looks of the 90ish 300z...just longer. lolol. And no, the Viper looks nothing like the Shelby Cobra, only SORTA looks like the Cobra Race car with the blue and white stripes. And If you wanted to back your statement you would have to mention the 1st and 2nd gen vipers, but since you know nothing about the Mopar line, you wouldnt know that were are FOUR GENERATIONS of Vipers.
It wasn't "ALL" about Vettes and Shelby's back in the day. Ever heard of the trans am series back in the day? Who ran it back then? Mustangs and Comaros were the top 2 competitors.
Julio...love you man.....but do some research in a VERY heated debate.
AND PLEASE SHOW ME ANYWHERE where the ZR-1 is better than the Viper.. OTHER than price.
