New, Gen V viper vs ZR1 by MT
http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...srt_viper_gts/
I have to say somewhat unexpected. The SRT guys had a few years to beat the ZR1. I thought the the Viper would be epic even thought about getting one. Not so sure... |

If you were planning on just racing it, well then I can't help you there, lol. Corvette has had a bit more practice in that regard. |

By the way there is some "explaining" going on at the Viper forums, calling Randy a "clown" etc. Just reading the Viper forums is one huge push against ordering the car! |

Wow! Even the Z06 posted a quicker time than the new Viper! Very impressive.
In the end, the ZR1 will still be more livable for everyday use with the magnetic ride control. You can also run under the radar with the Vette. The new Viper is very sharp and looks much better than the old one. I like it a lot. Will be interesting to see what the C7 Vette will be in comparison.

The article was very short... They both preferred the Vette by the smallest of margins, but to be honest, the ZR1 is a ridiculously amazing car. The Viper is juuuust below it. I'd still take the Viper, because it represents something a little more primal and aggressive than the Vette.
EVERY car forum has users that show their collective ass when a magazine prints something that paints their car as less than a competitor's, lol. Not isolated to Vipers by any means. You should know this. |
