Default Re: 2008 Viper vs. 2008 C6 Z06: October Issue of Car And Driver

There is no doubt that a Vette is easier to drive than a Viper, I have owned both. I suspect that the 'ultimate' performance will go to the Viper if a guy can drive it well. The Viper has lost a lot of its uniqueness in the Gen 3 model, and with that gone, it is just an overweight beast to most people. The heat in the cockpit issue is a deal breaker for many, esp if you are buying the car for something besides 1/4 mile runs. The dealbreaker for me is the commonness of the Vette. Car and Driver is geared more toward the yuppy crowd and not the track crowd. I bet that Road & Track editors favor the Viper. You watch.
