Re: 2006 Viper Coupe-oh Dear God!

Viper Club of America actually got rid of the "Snake Pit Grill" their "Lounge" because of so many of the owners saying they were picking up a Z06.

Think about it. 500hp(550 rumored ), Coupe, No interior gadgets or amenities for $85,000 dollars. Viper

Or 500hp, interior gadgets galore with amenities for LESS Z06

Dodge dropped the ball HARD on this one. If you're spending THAT kinda cheese on a car, what would you expect?

Fast Freddy is a non-brand loyal "go fast" guy AND he knows his schtick.

Oh yeah, no doubt that the similarity is uncanny. We'll just have to see how the Gen IV Viper and C7 match up. LOL

Damn some of those Viper owners think they are on top of the world because they own a viper. I guess money ruins some people.

Damn, when I read the posts those people are making, it makes me suspicious that they are all 10 year olds pretending to have vipers

Re: 2006 Viper Coupe-oh Dear God!

I would much rather have an 06 z06...lower price, same if not more hp, and lighter...which makes it faster for about $20k cheaper.

Re: 2006 Viper Coupe-oh Dear God!

The 2006 Z06 also has a dry sump oiling system, and I believe a trans/rear diff cooler too.. Which, at least on paper, makes the Z06 pratically ready to endure a full roadrace...

I'll take a new Z06 over a Viper anyday for all the above reasons. Plus take a look at the crappy Viper interior and then look at the Vette's interior, nothing more needs to be said.
