Yeah, it does seem that the Z06 offers more for less cash. The viper is a lot of $$$ for something so completely unsophisticated.

Considering how amazingly fast the new Z06 is gunna be (according to my information) and not be much more expensive than a base model, like an $9k option, I can only see a few reasons for people to buy a viper.
That said, I love the new SRT-10. It looks great, goes like stink, and sounds even better. However, for the money, I cant really say its a good package.

Hello all

New to the forums and this topic holds a special place in my heart because I thought that the viper test was one of the funniest Top Gear segments I have ever seen.
I found Clarkson's summary of the Viper to be pretty spot-on...Total handful with many of the little flaws that American mass-manufacturers have become known for, but a car whose purpose is clear and a car that works perfectly for its purpose - to put a stupid grin on your face and kill your rear tires.
Personally - I loved it.
