Looks like a Corvette

Probably been mentioned already. Does this not look like a corvette????


http://www.dodge.com/en/2008/viper/

Only starts at 85,900. For an American Sports car???

http://www.chevrolet.com/corvette/photogallery/

Now the Z06 Corvette starts at $71,000. BIG TIME inflation. in the late 80's early 90's the regular 'Vette was in the high 20's and low 30's. Now it starts at 46,000. DAMN. That's a big jump in price.

What about this

What would be your choice and why. Of course (if money or insurance ) was not an issue. I'm sure someone on the forum owns one of these cars anyways. What are your thoughts???

That Viper looks like a Corvette with Dodge stickers on it. Out of the three, I'd choose the GT-500KR. Corvettes are an everyday thing now, and to the average person, they don't know what a ZO6 is. Vipers, you still see them every day. GT-500s are brand new, with the GT-500KR being even rarer. Plus, they're just bad ***.

I really don't like the roadsters but I like this concept that Dodge has.

The rear quarters look similar on the Vette and Viper. The Viper is one bad 600hp hombre!

The Viper looks a bit like the Vette, but the cars are so similar there's only so many designs that can be achieved without doing something completely drastic...

BTW, since the arrival of the GT-500 I've seen several, yet no Vipers...

I have not drawn a similarity from the Viper and Z06. Out of those three, I would be in the Z06 (Best bang for the buck).

Missouri must be a Viper refuge if they are seen every day there. I drive through some of the richest areas of Los Angeles daily, and I maybe see one Viper a month.

If money is no object, I am in this though.

They all are very nice cars but,

You see a GT-500 and say very nice Stang.

You see a Z06 and say one sharp Vette.

You see a Viper and say Damn Look At That Sumbitch!!!

this looks something like the Honda S2000

http://automobiles.honda.com/s2000/exterior-photos.aspx

Or maybe parts of the Nissan 350z specially in the rear panels.

copy what sells??

I don't know if I would want to be driving a car called Demon. The conversation would be " hey what are you driving?" " oh, I drive a Demon, thanks". Of course the name might change if it goes into production.

I agree, I have only seen 2 Vipers in the real world, one was a white one with blue stripes parked on the side of the street, the other was solid black in a Best Buy parking lot, both were first gens, my favorite style.

I just saw my first GT-500 last weekend but they have only been out for a year, and I have seen a couple new Vette's lurking about as well.

I would not drive one either, but I just think it looks kinda cool.

Out of the list above I would take the Mustang. But for the money the Z06 would most likely be the best car. The thing smokes a Porsche and hangs with a Ferrari.

I have been looking at a Dodge Charger RT HEMI in black, I love this car!! The seats are so freaking comfortable. I think I am going to get it. A little Christmas present to myself..

Yeah. The Charger RT's look nice. specially with a nice set of aftermarket wheels. I really don't know which I would get. belive it or not. I am still partial to the Ferrari F40.

http://www.verdictoncars.com/features1/F40_wp0_800.jpg

http://auto.howstuffworks.com/ferrari-f40.htm

or of course the Ferrari Enzo

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:RedEnzo.jpg

I know she(F40) is an older model, but I remember seeing one in at a local showroom floor in San Antonio Texas when I was in the military and I will never forget it.(of course I am forgettin' most things now) maybe it's alzheimers And when I was even younger I wanted a chrome Lamborghini Diablo with blue tires.
