I know that the vette is newer (updated more) and will probably be around longer in the long run... the viper hasen't been updated in ages, but being a die hard dodge guy I gotta take the viper.

They are just more rare, they attract alot more attention, and I think they look better (just my opinion)

Plus if I could own one I would make it twin turbo (Hennensy Venom 800) :rock:

Plus I recently learned that dodge is planning an NEW 2006 VIPER

GOD THAT'S BAD ASS (now you know why I picked the viper) :supz:

That new viper is bad ass, going with the old GT-R (or w/e) styling, Im always a vette guy though, never use to like them now i love them...

watch out for the new Z06 thats comen out next year it'll have 100hp more than the last z06 which will put it just over 500...

I got to mess around with a 03' SRT 10 on GT4, I beefed it up to have over 1100 horsepower all motor with nitrous and had it run 8.3's :-p

But I would love to see the 2006 z06 Vette and 2006 SRT-10 Viper coupe go at it.

I like the looks of both of them... but you seen more and moer vetts now a days... so the pure fact that vipers still have that edge makes them a little more like a head turner for me... but when it coems down to it... they both have there reputation for a reason
