a race between the two are all on a driver, the m5 has a stronger top end, due to more power and a bigger engine. M5's motor has more mod potential too.

They definitely move, driven them as well. I had a 99 Vette, so I'm on good terms with the local dealer.
ferizzo.....had an Evo, but traded it for the STi

Anyway, if I wanted a Z06.....I would have bought a Z06. But in that regard, I would have just picked up the SRT-10 I ordered if I wanted another crazy fast sports car (but opted not to take it though).

1. I had a Vette, if I wanted another would have bought one.
2. A Z06 should only look half as good as a Viper GTS....funny nobody wanted to take pictures in front of the Vette when I had it. Yet, I had numerous people wanting to take photos in front of the Viper. People used to follow me into parking lots in the Viper, never the Vette......list goes on.
3. Actually, I beat 02 Z06s without an issue....03s were tough as they had 405hp vs. 385.

I'd take a Z06 because its a CORVETTE. It's the original American sports car (as sporty as an I-6 can be in 1956, it didn't turn FAST until 1960 when they put the 4.6 liter V8 in it). The Corvette has a rich heritage. It symbolizes the rise of the muscle car. Contrary to popular belief, the Gran Turismo Omologato (GTO) WASN'T the original muscle car. It was just the first dirt cheap muscle car.
Corvette: "Let's make a sporty car that will be able to compete with such foreign car makers as BMW and Mercedes, and bring the sports car industry into America for the first time. WOW! What is this, FIBERGLASS?!? This congflounded new lightweight material is perfect!"
My
: (innovative and orignal)
Viper: "We haven't made a decent muscle car in over 10 years so let's make a really expensive piece of crap car that turns heads with outrageous styling and has a 10 cylinder engine! Since we can't engineer for shit, it'll HAVE to be fast with 10 cylinders!"

The Gen II Vipers are great machines, the Gen III SRT-10 is even better (although I don't think they look quite as good as a GTS).
Just so you know, the new M5 will have a V10, the Lambo Gallardo has a V10, and the Carrera GT has a V10....what were you saying?

what? i was saying that in 1991 Dodge realized that they wouldnt make a V8 to compare to the current C4 Vette, so they threw 2 more cylinders in order to compensate. the new M5, Gallardo, and Carrera are all badass cars. that goes without saying.just so i dont come off as a dick, i want people to realize id drive a viper in a heartbeat. im not a moron. if i have beltfeds funds, id drive a Z06 AND id probably blow money on a Viper for shits and giggles. but ill never be able to own multiple expensive cars like that the way i see it, so with my hard earned money, id much rather buy a Z06 and save 30k over the Viper when i could put out the same times roughly and look better too. (C5 Corvette styling is perfect in my opinion)

Ok, well that's getting into preference and value.....a Z06 does pretty much everything better or equal to a Ferrari 360.
Guess what, I would rather have the 360 (as would most people I would think).
Vettes are nice, but they are extremely common.....GM builds over 30k of them a year. That was the main reason I dumped mine, not exclusive enough.
