Nah..besides the Viper will be discontinued next year or I think this is the last year. And the z06 has much more, carbon ceramic brembo brakes, carbon fiber roof and hood and a cool 7speed manual. Carbon ceramic brakes are like a 10k+ option on some cars. So the z06 is the best bang for your buck supercar.

So?.. That has no bearing on the car itself, whether that's true or not. It's still a better looking, better thought out car than any Vette.

It's not a better car when you factor in ALL of the constant issues that GM still haven't resolved.

Any Dodge doesn't? lol

He would get bored of a z06 because it will become his normal. It happens. There will be better and faster factory corvettes.

Of course, all you focus on is straight line performance. You know, the kind of stuff that DOESN'T matter because I'm pretty sure the OP doesn't drag race.

And I'm not going to waste my time sitting here arguing with you.

Yeah that's the viper T/A acr which is a 100k the z06 is 79k

Not sure if they improved longevity in the new zo6, but the passing conversations i've had with vette guys over the years makes me shy away from them. They talk about needing new piston rings and other engine component replacements between 50K and 100K miles. I hope it's not at common as they made it sound.

Roll your eyes all you want. It's still the same exact drivetrain. It's reliable. It doesn't burn up, blow up or leak. And it's still the better looking car.

At my gym, the car that I see the most up front in handicapped parking spots are corvettes. Take that however you will..

To you maybe it sounds like crap.

And who cares if it's a truck engine. So was the 5.4L in the Ford GT, and look how that car performs. What's your point?

In the head to head same driver same track the Viper out ran the Z06. There is a lot of driver when it comes to speeds on a track so random youtube videos to me doesn't prove one is faster than the other. I've seen plenty of youtube videos of TT Z's eating up GTR's. Does that make all TT Z's faster, not always. **** I out ran a couple of 1st gen Z06's in my '67 mustang back in the day at the track. Not because it was faster, but because the driver hadn't gotten used to launching the car yet or when to shift for the best times.
