The Viper is on another level from all of those cars. I currently have one, and to me, no car available can replace it (especially not the the soon to be mass-produced, F/I'd, heavy Z06).

That said, I am considering getting the new GT350, but definitely not as a Viper replacement (LOL at that thought), but more as a middle car between my DD Macan Turbo and my Viper. I think a GT350 will slot itself perfectly between those two cars.

As they say, different strokes....

Around 8 tracks in the US, it is indeed. (holds the production car record).

ooops. I meant in a straight line.

In a straight line, a Viper TA recently trapped 132mph, bone stock, in 900' D/A. The only other regular production bone stock car that has gone faster in a 1/4 mile was a record run by a ZR1 in -1,000' D/A (considering the D/A advantage, if both cars were at the same track, same day, I think the Viper would have been faster).

The next fastest American car in a 1/4 mile ('regular production' - Hennessy Venoms aren't part of this discussion), is a 662 hp 2013 GT500 that trapped than 128.

Modified cars are another discussion, since anything can be modified.

Point is, Vipers are not only the fastest around tracks, but also essentially tied for 1st with C6 ZR1s as the fastest American cars in a straight line.

Viper is an american exotic and deserves a premium. Not as much as they used to be priced but I think current pricing is fair enough.

Stingray can bve had for ~$60k brand new. Viper has no such entry level. Its either all or nothing which is what makes it more unique. Same argument about how audi shares similar platforms with vw, bmw has no such sharing...

I think the current gen viper hit it out fo the park. Performance, quality interior, exterior design, it hits all the right notes with me. For now however, just a dream...

It's awesome to hear from a Viper owner; it looks like I need to drive one and experience it. Also, you have a great collection of cars! I am looking at the GT350 as an addition as well

I'm selling my rare Gen IV 2008 Viper. I have too many Vipers and need to make room for another one. It is in showroom condition. Let me know if you're interested.

I much prefer this hood. Hot car

FYI, I've posted my Gen IV in the classifieds. While the Gen V is great, there really is no car like the Gen IV and will never be one again (the law won't allow it).

Keep watching. By the 6th run it's getting spanked due to heat soak which is quickly becoming a notorious problem of these Z06's.

The pics of the viper in that grey color look awesome! The viper is a great car and a true beast.

Viper is on another level? Heavy z06? Looks like you are happy about that video where vipers beat new z06 in grag racing.
Just wait a little till that lean tune is fixed, then see your viper raped everywere, especially on the road course where it counts the most..

With the same tires I highly doubt the Z06 will crush the Viper. The Viper is the one on street tires, not PSC2s which are on a totally other level.

Lol. Stock to stock, the Viper is faster, so now let's devolve into comparing modified cars. Okay. What do you think happens when Vipers also get tunes and bolt-ons? That's right, significantly more power in a lighter car.

I think the cars will be extremely close around a road course, with the advantage going to the Vipers on similar tires as the Z07 package gets. But the Z06 needs to stop overheating after 4 laps before it can be considered a legitimate road course car. The Viper doesn't have that problem. It's a world-class track car from the factory, unlike like the Z06.

So which one is your friend? The cars are owned by two different people.
