Rep Power: 0 zo6 is the best car for its price and NO OTHER CAR gives you as much power for that kind of money and it handles sooo much better than a viper. a corvette is the definition of a sports car. a 12 second car for 50k while a viper is a 11 second car for almost 90.

Rep Power: 0 Z06 for sure. I hate the slight redesign in the Viper for 2003. The Z06 is the best bang for the buck. And the handling is better than anything out of Germany including Porsche according to a few car magazines.

z06...no questions about that. its got power, its not a bank breaker, its got style, and you wont actually suffer while driving in it. cant really say that about the viper.
svt cobra is nice, but the vette has it beat on style and class.
oh, and a tuned vette can outperform a tuned viper. at least according to the Tuner Supercar Challenge

Viper is rare, at least moreso than the other two. Plus I've always loved the look of the Viper.
Between the stang & the vette, I love the Stang, it's such a better looking car. But that's all a matter of opinion. I just don't like Chevy's .. never have
Plus a friend of mine had a Saleen Mustang, fully loaded, and it was absolutely gorgeous. I've never ridden in a vette so maybe that has something to do with it as well ...
