C&D: '08 Viper vs. '07 Z06

[JYODER240]

I haven't driven one but I have ridden in one and it's not as bad you make it out to be.? I always love how the haters always exagerate.

How am I hating on the Viper? I said it is a good car for setting fast times on the track, which it is. As far as a road car it isn't good. It has a cheap interior, is uncomfortable, bad shifter, rough ride, it's cabin is very hot, isn't very good on back roads, etc.? That's just the truth and you can find it in just about any review ever written on it. I'm not a hater, you're just a troll. I could say the same about a GT3 RS and you wouldn't have a problem with it because it's not a Mustang/Viper/Muscle car/etc.

Trep - Minpin is a real man and has 3 pedals in his tC.

Hemi - Yoder's telling the truth and he's not badmouthing it in any way. You just don't want to admit that the viper (and your truck) are unrefined and ride roughly.

Fine.  The Viper drives just like a truck.  Sometimes you (and NACar and a few others) can be so childish.  Saying it drives like a truck is a gross exageration and you can't even admit it.  Fine, I'll be the bigger man here and say that I give up because I obviously don't know what I'm talking about.  I can't wait for the day when you realize you don't know everything.

You're right.  Yoder knows all.

BTW, I never said my truck didn't have a rough ride.  Which is why I can truthfully say the Viper and Mustang don't drive like trucks.  My truck which has a very smooth ride for a truck bounces all over the fucking place.  But what do I know?

Wait a second. We're the ones who act childish and think we know it all?

It's like watching two dogs attack each other, but they're chained to their respective houses, so they can't bite each other, but just barely.

In summary, the Z06 is the more comfortable vehicle in which to watch the Viper's taillights relentlessly pull away.  Different strokes for different folks...

I'm sure the Viper has trucklike characteristics.

A stiff ride, lots of noise, stiff clutch, and a clunky shifter are all things that I've felt before on trucks. My dad's '63 Corvette drives like a truck too, I guess, but it was never meant to be nice and quiet either.

I don't see why you're so offended by the whole "truck" thing. Nobody thinks it handles like one around a racetrack, it's just uncomfortable around town (similar to an old truck).
