the poll is a '01-'02 zo6, and yeah, you can find one of those with 30k-50k miles for around $33k.

A Viper will still turn heads now and for many years to come. A Corvette is pretty much a dime a dozen and a Cobra looks like a slightly modded Mustang. Just my .02

From what i hear the older vipers are pretty crappy quality compared to the more recent models. I guess the side pipe exhaust creates a lot of heat in the cabin and can become quite uncomfortable. I'm not sure when they changed that, but i assume it probably came when they released the GTS.

Anyway, i think the Z06 is the way to go, i mean i really don't see that many vettes out there, do u? I see 10x more e36 M3s then C5 vettes. But the Z06 is just a monster, and if you choose to throw some mods its way you'll definately be getting some wreckless driving tickets

bmw forum?
ford is crap but cobras are very fast and vipers are pretty crappy with the whole sidepipe heat thing.if i was only allowed to choose between those cars it would have to be either the cobra or suicide.if i wanted a v8 it would be in a m5.

Id say Viper, tuning wise it is far superior. U would have to because the handling blows on them stock except for the newer ones. I see vettes all the time around here and when i lived in AZ. If left factory spec the corvette zo6 is much better.

but jes-one is right...if u want a v8...m5 would be my only answer....+$50k that is.......

The styling is better on the Viper (and there's not many out there), the power is better for the Corvette, and the Mustang is just, um, a Ford? I'd say Corvette simply b/c of the power and the pretty good looks. Although I say the interior of the 'Vettes suck, I'd say still the Corevette. For this one moment I'm looking away from my mate w/ the M coupe that beat a Z06 :-D

Id say Vette, because I think chevy builds there cars better than Ford or Dodge.

Corvette without question. It's a monster and a beauty all in one.
