It doesn't cost that much more than a Z06, in fact it pretty much splits the difference between a Z06 and ZR1. And keep in mind, the Corvette can take advantage of economy of scale which the Viper has no hope of obtaining. That plays a big role in the vehicle cost.

I guess it's just me, but I would never spend $100,000 on a car to get the stereo that was in my mom's 2002 durango, the seats of an srt-4 and the overall interior quality of a sebring. Sure, it's fast, but there's a reason the model is out-going. It just doesn't justify the cost. I don't know how anyone could tell themselves they made a good purchase unless they track the car constantly. As a street driven vehicle, it's just plain not worth the money. I don't expect a Ferrari interior, but I expect an interior that can compete with a 1995 bmw from a $100,000 brand new car. There's only so much you can pay for drivetrain/suspension. Now, if viper-esque bad-assery and track performance is your goal, I simply can't deny how insanely sexy the acr-x is.
Oh snap!
Basically, I just don't understand the draw of the base viper. If they're going to make a 100k car, why not make it 105k and work on that interior some?
