    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.

    or as he said with the Z06, "as something to live with everyday, I'd rather have bird flu."

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!
