    What year is ther viper? I am going to buy a Vette by June of next year. To clarify your statement about seeing the vehicle everyday was meant that you just see vettes everywhere right? I hear you on that but why not just make your vette run like no other..... Lingenfelter supercharge it.... etc,etc. I am trying to get a Lingenfelter supercharged vette 2005 to 2013.
    On the same hand I know that the Vipers are much better built as far as handling and performance and looks then they were in the past. The guys at the shop were working on a 2013 and for stock that was the most impressive sounding vehicles I ever heard........ really nice.

    Idk what that has to do with anything. I would prefer a stick over an auto but I would also pic a GTR over almost any other car given the chance.

    2005 and yes you see vettes everywhere here but i have only seen 1 viper here ever. dont get me wrong I loved my vette but its time for something different.

    my son wants me to get a GTR but there are already 2 of them in town. and im a convertible car guy so whatever I buy needs to be convertible, if not i would prefer to drive the truck.

    I have been having a mid-life crisis since I was 12 then cuz Ive always loved cool fast convertible cars. and A crisis is having terminal cancer or being thrown into a Turkish prison on trumped-up charges. Buying an awesome car is not a crisis.
