A little bed-time reading...
http://www.motorauthority.com/news/1...ced-from-97395
"One thing you might have to consider, however, is what sort of alternatives you could buy for that $100,000-$120,000. Sure, the new Viper is said to be more refined and comfortable than the last (manic, slightly deadly) version, but can it compete with established performance-per-dollar leaders like the 545-horsepower 2013 Nissan GT-R ($97,000-107,000) or the 638-horspeower 2013 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 ($113,000-$123,000)? We can't answer that question just yet, but the 2013 SRT Viper certainly has its work cut out for it."

What is he talking about? I would buy the new Viper in a heart beat over the GTR or ZR1.

![]() I would never buy it solely based on how ugly it is.

Guy drove a ZR-1 to the track and said the new Viper made it feel ancient. New Viper is going to slap the CURRENT ZR-1 around and is a much better bargain and deal. For the same price or less you get a much better built car, more power, a more moderns suspension, a 10x better interior, more horsepower, some italian flair (IE the seats were designed and are built by the same company that makes Ferarri's seats), and something truly unique as they will be limited to 2000 cars a year. |

And that said, everyone has their opinions and they may like other cars looks better but to call the new Viper outright ugly probably has to do with a lot of that bias to blame me of, just on the other side of the fence And it is not just the Viper, i also think anyone who says the 458 italia is ugly or the mclaren MPC4 needs an eye exam too.Of course knowing you read my posts makes me feel all tingly and goobery inside like I just took a swim through a chocolate/Tequila river.

The Viper is incredible, and when you see one on the street you take notice. Vette's not so much, they have run the latest body way too long. Vipers have the look that says "I did your wife and your daughter, and your dog likes me more."
