i was just hinking, what are all your opinions on vettes ???
i can live with the old ones (up to about '64 or '65) the new ones suck though, imo. They're way too overrated. They're overpriced and everyone i've known who ones one says they require a lot of work to keep them in good shape and that there's always something going wrong on them, they all said that they'd never own another. I can't say much for the C6's, to me, they look like damn vipers. anyway i just thought i'd get your opinions.
I did my junior research paper on the Corvette. After reading for weeks on the car. I fell in love with it. They are definitely America's Sports car. *Waits for someone to make fun of early C4 corvettes*
Some of the new models seem overhyped and overpriced, but so are all the Mustang variations. When is enough enough right?
Viper > All

they all said they'd never own another? yeah....talk to more corvette people, because there's a reason why they are still in production.
i really like them. if i had 50k to spend on a car.....i'd get a used LS2 and spend the rest on other **** (or another DD if i didn't have one).
as for vipers > all, explain that.

V-6 is for real drivers. Go buy a Jetta if you want gas mileage and a chicks car. Buy a V-8 Mustang if you have no driving ability and need the extra horsepower to compensate and feel like you''''''''re fast.

They are a little overpriced, but they are certainly amazing cars. If I were going to spend $70k, it definitely wouldn't be on a new Vette, but I wouldn't mind one that was a few years old.

$41,000 for a 2007 Le Mans Blue Corvette with 4,000 miles and an LS2 is damn good enough for me. Came fully loaded ... DVD and convertible and everything.
I don't want to make this a Corvette vs Viper thread, but I can't help to say that corvette is very refined. I love it, I'd love one for a DD. (Ls2 model) If I want to go fast, I'll take the Viper hands down. It's a little more raw, it feels like a race car. When you touch the panel next to the seat and get burned, I love that. Not that my fingers are on fire, but that this car was made to run.
Sorry if I'm hijacking your thread.

lol, i've heard the viper beats the **** out of the driver everytime they drive the car. no TCS, wide ass tires that still can't hook up for **** from a low roll, side exhaust that cooks anyone inside, and just the brute force of the motor....yeow.
for the money i'd still get a vette. the viper doesn't quite seem DD'able like the vette.

Who the hell would want a viper for DD? lol, they will physically beat you up.
If the viper was a transformer, it would bend over Optimus Prime, like a little baby b1tch.

I think in R&T, the 2008 Viper beat out the 2008 Corvette. Yet, they still picked the Corvette, because of the refinement. Christ if you want refinement, go buy a Euro.

Your right, it beat it barely. I love the Viper though, it seems way more fun to drive than the Corvette imo.

viper is to the point where people only buy it if they REALLY want it. thats if you can deal with massive engine heat, burning sidepipes, and pityful gas mileage- especially with a 6 speed. it pulls off the same as my carb'd 8 barrel chevy with a 4 speed.
