2009 Z06 or 2009 Viper Roadster

Well?

**jknelms** · 11-09-2008, 06:43 AM

viper is rumored to be discontinued in 2011, so i'll probably go with the viper. i see more Z06's on the road.

**Sarge** · 11-09-2008, 06:48 AM

Mama sez if I get rid of the GTO I can have either one. I'm perplexed.

**B34M3R** · 11-09-2008, 06:54 AM

Why not a ZR1? They are the closer price match to the viper.

But, between Z06 and Viper, I'd have to go with the viper.

about $7k difference between Vette Z06 3LZ and the Viper Roadster. i wonder if the vette includes employee discount.

Vette does get better milage...13/22 compared to 15/24

Viper is just more exotic. less of them on the roads. especially since a corvette can some in base model and Z06.

I guess you have to add shipping cost in for you though.

Viper for sure

What do you mean when saying get rid of GTO, trade in or selling her?

dodge says viper roadster is 88,xxx. chevy says ZR1 is 104,xxx

not sure if that's the squirrel cage model for the viper though.

i compared the Z06 3LZ to the base viper roadster. which i think came around to 81K. but yeah, you can pick up a base Z06 for probably around 66K, GM Employee Discounting

Yeah, saw that and fixed it. I would take the ZR1 over the Viper in a heartbeat!

z06 hands down.

**zero_proto** · 11-09-2008, 07:32 AM

zr1 for sure...

zo6 against viper, viper......like they said not many of'em around, or at least you don't see them much. I would still go for a zr1 though

**Blitzed** · 11-09-2008, 07:34 AM

I would take the Viper, Its no contest. The Viper is a drivers car.....

**grouch0jr** · 11-09-2008, 07:46 AM

viper.

**86 IROC-Z** · 11-09-2008, 08:56 AM

Viper.

**squee** · 11-09-2008, 09:00 AM

ZR1>Viper>Z06

**310stanger** · 11-09-2008, 09:03 AM

test drive the cars and pick. factor in what you really want out of them too. I'm willing to bet that most of the guys on this site have never driven/ridden in either car.

**chuckie669** · 11-09-2008, 09:04 AM

Go test drive both and pass us some pics. I think you'd enjoy the viper.

**Mr. Luos** · 11-09-2008, 09:08 AM

It'd be Z06 for me.

Ha ha ha! Yep, I've never driven a Viper

But, have test driven a 08 Z06. A real purty blue one
