Between the Lotus and Viper I would go for the Viper.

Between Viper and Camaro,,, COME ON!!! CAMARO!!!!

Vipers are so ugly to me from the side, it looks like its been in a shunt!

Sorry but the Camaro is way better value and sexier!

The Viper really comes off that way to you guys?

Well... The Viper is:
1) Awfully finished
2) It Has a huge engine
3) It's technologically rearward
4) It has no traction control or ESP

It's just like the mustang or the camaro... it can't be european.... While the new corvette is different, it's a modern car, with modern technology, the ZR1 has the same HP of a Ferrari 599 and it consumes much less, and I'd choose it instead of a Porsche or a Nissan GT-R...
Ah and I'd choose the viper for an another reason: in 5/6 years when you will want to change your car, Camaro will be there waiting for you while for the Viper I'm sure this is the last year of production...

camaro is the last coupe i'll ever buy, next is escalade or some such , for big bellied middle ages

If you have got an endless supply of funds buy the Viper!

The Viper is a nice thought but this is to much money. Keep that extra money, you might need it in these hard times!!

UMMM....that Camaro is going to turn some heads, I am counting days!!

*KILLER74Z28* · 01-26-2009, 07:10 AM

Let’s see………. Do you want a car that is comfortable, exciting, powerful, pleasurable, (the list goes on), and can be driven every day? Or, do you want a viper that is uncomfortable as hell on short and long trips (from most reviews I have read) but does have a cool factor. As for the Lotus, I have no idea; what model is it? IMHO, I would go with the Camaro but I’m bias…

5th Gen SS, I think you'll find that you'll regret getting the Viper out of some kind of nostalgia. I think you'll find that, while the exterior design is there, the car is overpriced for the interior it offers, as well as any of the number of flaws that have been mentioned since the redesign in 2003. If you've got $63,000 to put into a car, get a new one. You said part of why you wouldn't get a Corvette is that everyone has one. Well, get your Camaro, and use that extra $28,000 to turn it into a car NO ONE has, with similar performance to the Viper.

I have to tell you! I drove a New Silver 2009 Cadillac CTS V LS9 car Saturday Morning!!!!

They had the the LS9 Vette also it was selling for $130k but the CTS V is one bad son of a GUN! It handles great responds like you will not believe. This car is all hot rod wrpped in a sporty luxry car skin! It was priced at $68k they had a Pearl White one for 62K.

I would buy the CTS V before the vette for 1/2 the price and be able to carry some friends in luxry. I just can't afford twice what I can get my RS/SS - 2 for. I can add a S/C , Cam and tuen and make the power both the other make an dstill be under 45k invested. So I am sticking with the Camaro. I just think it looks better than the others.

WOW - talk about conflicted. These are THREE totally different vehicles.

All I can say is GOOD LUCK.

You notice I mention nothing but GM cars. THe other cars do not compare for me at all.

The ZR1 and Z06 vettes, CTS V are more car for the money than the Viper the Camaro is by far the best deal considering you can easily modify it for way more power if you want and still be cheaper than all and get MPG to boot.

I really don't see a decision to be made here myself.

You got it!!

I saw a comparison recently with the vette, viper, mercedes and a porsche. Hands down the vette was the winner! viper all it has is looks and straight line performance. Vette is the complete package!!! There should be no question!!

5th_GEN_SS · 01-26-2009, 08:36 AM

i no i no... well i said before even tho i have "doubts" i really LOVE the 5thgen,
im gonna up load pics so u can see my shrine... lol
i even have layouts for a tatt i was gonna get w/ the camaro flag logo lol
but in reality i dnt thnk i could stray

there is just something about THAT viper
not just any...
that gets me going..
i saw it in person yesterday and its just hott.

and i do agree with some of the arguements
it doesnt look like the most comfortable of cars, maybe over priced? dont no what they really go for? as i said not much of a dodge fan.. int. isnt really flashy or anything? im more of a vintage/retro guy.

i was a ford guy- just dnt tell anyone lol
have a 66' mustang (sold for the camaro)
02' mustang (selling for the camaro)
90' tbird supercharged (sold for the camaro)
and steal my grandparents GT500 from time to time.. lol (i thnk i wld keep that one if it was mine... fun 2 drive)
