    The Vette also cost 40-50k MORE than the Viper. The cost difference you could use to upgrade the brakes/tires and add power.

    The Viper wins on cool factor alone... Although the digital viper graphic in the tach during start up is rather queer! I'm with Joe on the Vette demographic point!

    Where did you see that?

    On the official Chevy and Dodge websites respectively, they show the starting MSRP for a ZR1 at $112K, while the Viper GTS model starts at $120K. The regular Viper is listed at $97K, but that's still not $40-50K cheaper than the ZR1...

    The Viper does what it was "originally" intended to do. Be a straight up no holds barred beast. None of those "girly" refinements.
