Which would you rather have? Viper/gn or C6z06?
Man Ive been very blessed as of late(really my whole life). Looking forward to maybe a big promotion soon and my business is really starting to take off recently, so if things all fall in place i might be ready for a super car late next summer. I know this is very premature and this thread is just for fun but, My question is what would you rather have for 40k a used c6z06(i have seen a few with higher miles for 37k+) or maybe a older 94-98 rt10 for high twenties and and a decent grandnational for 8-12k. I have been seeing some vipers under thirty in good condition.
So which would you rather have a older viper and a grand national or a c6z06 for 40k?

I know the C6z06 is the best performance stock out of them.
But due to childhood memories, in my mind it's hard to beat a 1996 GTS, blue with white stripes.
It would come down to what you want/need on many different levels. Any C6z06 will be very recent, whereas a Viper will be over a decade older, and a GN two decades older. The older the car, the more you'll be sacrificing modern options and safety.
Why do you want one of these cars? Purely performance? Purely the "look at me" factor while driving around town? Nostalgia (the reason I would always choose the Viper)? Something to drive daily, or to cruise around in one weekend a month? Something still under warranty, or something that might need some fixing up?
Answer those questions for yourself and it will be easier to decide between the three.

Considering your comparing a car thats a few years old to cars that are more then a few years old should tell you something. Have I driven a new Z06 or Viper, no but seen how the viper is not forgiving and rough around the edges. I have driven a GN, I liked it but would never take one over a C6Z06 IMHO

This. I haven't driven a car close to the caliber of the ones being discussed, but the Viper is a very bare-bones performance oriented car. I don't think it even had cup holders until a few years ago. And apparently if you're not careful you can burn your legs on the door sills because of the exhaust.

True, but for me it was how the car looked and the impression it had on me at the time.
I couldn't if I wanted to say the C6z06 had nostalgic value to me from when I was a child, because... they didn't exist. The model name did, but not the visual identity of the car in my mind. Same with the Viper, the newest incarnation is nothing special to me, but I might consider performing terrible acts if it would grant me a first gen Viper
