Similar yet different... Stingray-GTR-Viper-LFA - Page 2

Stingray and Viper look sexier than the GTR and LFA, respectively.

Did Dodge copied the simular shape from the 5th Gen Corvette when the Viper originally came out?

You have to be thankful that you live in North America. Being a middle class car lover and living in Europe or Asia absolutely sucks. You're stuck mainly with ricers and European hot hatches.

Look how inexpensive and beautiful the American sports cars we have are.

Amen. I recently travelled overseas for the holidays and saw

jaw-dropping prices of new and used American sports & musclecars. Yes, glad to be here in the US of A.

The LFA picture looks like a small model. Regardless, it's the ugliest out of all 4 cars.
The Corvette and Viper have very similar front bumpers and headlights. The A and C pillars/roof line on the Corvette and GTR look similar too. The Corvette/GTR even have similar side vents on the front fenders.
Overall, the Corvette looks like the offspring after a Viper and GTR mated together. I'm not complaining though, it's an awesome looking car.

No question. The GTR is the worst one of the bunch by a wide margin IMO. The Viper has some nice lines I'll admit, but I still like the Vette best. None look any more alike than a Camaro looks like a Mustang...which is to say they don't look alike at all.

ZR1 still kicked the Viper's ass, didn't it?

Edit: Wait, fair for who? Lol.

And that exhaust. Gotta love the ZR1 exhaust. I can listen to it all day!

Now back to the Viper, it didn't have the track pack nor the upgraded brakes. They should of compared the base viper with the track pack and brake package. The GTS is nothing but an interior up grade. Now before you give me shit. Let give credit where's its due. The mag ride suspension the ZR1 has is the best damn thing created next to beer.

Let me stop...

I was gonna argue that the viper was at a disadvantage cause it didn't have the track pack but that argument is moot cause it probably would of made its time worst. Everyone's scared of the Viper. Unless your 1 of the top 20 drivers on this planet. No one can handle the viper... Who set the record on the ring? Give the keys to that man and watch him burn every record the ZR1 has... I'll put $10,000 on it

I haven't driven either car so I won't offer any opinions as to each car's handling strengths and weaknesses. However, there's no doubt that the tires could account for most if not all of the difference in lap time.

2010redcamaro · 01-18-2013, 09:21 AM

Maybe its because i own one but i like the gtrs. not only are they fast its just amazing that its a twin turbo v6 that competes and destroys a lot of v8s v10 etc it also has a backseat. it might not be the best looking car out of them( c7 ftw) but it will give all those cars a run for there money if not beat them stock for stock

Agree on that (fellow Boss owner); the varying grip between different hiqh-performance tires makes a significant difference.

"We received what Chrysler bent over backward to deliver to us a black GTS that comes with navigation for $124,990, plus the $3500 Track package (18- and 19-inch snowflake wheels with Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires, StopTech slotted rotors with aluminum hats), $5000 stripes, and that delectable $7500 "Laguna" leather. Basically, it's the works, plus a gas-guzzler tax and delivery, for $140,990."

I love the c7 and I am going to purchase one, but part of the reason the other cars look, "fat" is because the c7 picture is from a greater distance than the others. As for those calling the LF-A and Viper ugly -- never set me up on a blind date.
