Default Re: VETTE VS VIPER

a.) I don't understand why Ukunt keeps jumping in these arguments. It seems he doesn't know alot about cars in general let alone U.S. brands.

b.) Why do people still insist that the viper is better than the corvette. time and time again these disputes have arisen and time and time again it seems someone like BOTLFEDLT1 or 01mmmz28 or Memphis, among others list the key elements that actually matter to make a car better than another. BUT then someone else brings up some minor detail that wouldn't otherwise matter, but they blow it out of proportion, and using that as their rebuttle against the vette. i.e. "this other car won a famous race, so its better." "this car is made of gold and not cheap plastic".. . or "this car has 50 more hp and 2 more cylinders etc. etc. etc." Why don't you gather ALL your positive information First and then present it, and I might believe you.

c.) which leads me to my last point. At one point in time I was neither a vette or viper fan, (a long time ago), but I too compared the positives and negatives and found which car actually IS the better of the two... Vette> Viper.

and in conclusion, the viper started out as an oversized go-kart fitted with an oversized engine, made from leftovers by Dodge. No attention was paid to refinement, performance, handling in many respects. Basically they put big breasts on an HIV infected Hooker and gave her a new dress. Beautiful on the outside, horrible when you get down to it. And the new Viper didn't learn from its predecessor, instead it upgraded the goods again, made it prettier and left the guts of it alone.

Corvette, however has also had its bad days for example, the late C3s, and mostly the entire C4 generation, god knows what they were thinking there. (even tho I love my '87.) but they moved on to the C5 and from thence the C6 and finally the Z. They're only moving up. They went from another cheesy american sports car to something that is gaining more respect in Europe than any other american sports car, and not only that but competing with the best of the exotics. Until Dodge steps up and makes a car that can do that, corvette will remain on top...

well that was fun. Later fellas i'm goin to go drink my ****ing face off! I-L-L.. I-N-I!
