You mean that you haven't seen this one racing sideways through the snow covered track in Scandanavia?

And what is to prevent any other RWD sports car from doing the same?
Has a corvette ever won Paris-Dakar? You, clearly have no clue when it comes to the capabilities and acomplishments of the 911.

Regarding the ongoing debate of which is a faster/better sports car for the money, wasn't the Viper GTS faster than the C5 Z06?


No it wasn't - and even if it was, it was $25,000 more expensive and has less usable storage space and uses way more gas.
Huh? You really think we're all that stupid? I don't have any readily available data, but I'm pretty sure that on the same strip and with the same driver the GTS would do 12.4s, whereas the C5 Z06 would do 12.7s. Of course these times are for unmodified cars.

Then again, I would assume that Vipers hold their value much better than C5 vettes, so although they did cost more new, there is probably a much bigger price gap between them now...

Wrong

2001 Z06 58% value retention

2001 Viper GTS 57% value retention

Try again.
You're truly unbelievable! This is the same thread, where after I had provided the evo lap times, showing that the C6 Z06 posted the 14th fastest time at Bedford, someone said that any time within 3s/lap can be considered an equivalent time...

Now, you're trying to make an argument that the depreciation rate is within 1%?? Please, provide your source, so it can be verified. This sounds like the argument kids have, where they say: "Oh yeah, my dad is 120 years old, so he can beat your dad up...

But man, did they ever look better!

Subjective - both cars look great.
The GTS is a unique car. The C5 Z06 looks just like the gold chain gang's standard C5!
