I am a Dodge Viper fan, owner, and retailer. I own a motorsports corporation based out of Chadds Ford Pennsylvania. I visited your website when my friends son asked me about the Corvette C5-R. (which has become his favorite car ever built) So me and my friends son visited your site looking for pictures. I was very, very displeased with your "7 Reasons To Buy A Corvette Over A Viper" headline. Upon further investigation I discovered that you are a total idiot. I have been selling, building, and racing both Vipers and Corvettes for almost 8 years now and never have I experienced, or seen any of that bull shit you were shoveling on your web site. you stated, and I quote...
1. Corvette is Americas Sports car.
2. The Corvette gets 27 MPG and the Viper gets 18.
3. Corvettes don't fall apart at their top speed .
4. The same speed but 40K less.
5. A Corvettes will last way longer then a Viper.
6. The average person could actually afford a Corvette.
7. Because I said so!
I will now address each of your bull shit statements and explain to you how stupid you have been. 1. Corvette may have been Americas first sports car but now, the Viper has been proclaimed the a)fastest American produced sports car. B)the true American sports car. Why the Corvette Stingrays may still be Americas classic sports car. The newer models are by no chance "Americas sports car" 2. The 2000 Corvette gets 18 to 28 mpg. The Dodge Viper GTS and RT-10 get 17 to 25. BUT the 2003 Dodge Viper RT-10 and GTS/R get 21 to 30 mpg. 3. I don't know where you got your information from but Vipers do not fall apart at there top speed. The Dodge Viper GTS coupe has a top speed of 192mph. The Corvette's top speed is 175. The Dodge Viper GTS-R has a top speed of 235 mph. The Corvette C5-R has a top speed of around 210-220. Now the Fastest viper ever built is the Viper GTS R/T which has a top speed of over 245. Never has the R/T model fallen apart in any race, qualifying run, or practice. 4. The statement that the corvette gets the same speed but 40k less is your biggest bull shit statement on your list. Vipers run around 80k and vettes around 40k. But the Corvette models that cost 40k can in no way compete with Vipers. The 40k model of Corvette goes 0-60 in 4.8 seconds. The Viper goes 0-60 in 3.9 seconds. That is hardly the same speed. 5. Another highly Bull shit statement. Dodge Vipers last around the same amount of time as corvettes. The only reason a Viper wouldn't last as long would be because since vipers have more power they are easier to wreck. 6. I sell Dodge Vipers. As well I sell Corvettes. In 1999 I sold a little over 130 Dodge Vipers world wide but only sold 100 Corvettes. So in one year more people could afford the Viper than the Corvette. 7. Ok this merely shows that you are a just a kid who knows absolutely nothing about cars. And I am also guessing that you have never driven a Corvette OR a Viper. I will be placing a Link to your web site from my web page with the caption that everyone who visits my site should also visit yours just to see how misinformed you are about your information. I recommend you update your site soon before you get more publicity than you would want.
Hello, Nice to meet you, Your friend has good taste in cars! I must say very original. I have never gotten hate mail like this before! yes I am a kid (16) and you guessed wrong, I have driven a Corvette (Z06) and a Viper (RT/10) (1998).
1) The reason I Say Corvette is "Americas Sports Car" Is because it is when the Viper has been around for nearly 50 years and survived harsh emission laws (70's-80's) and still dominate then MAYBE (probably not) you can call it America's sports car.
2) I did I say 2003 viper? no. and I highly doubt it will get 30 MPG...
3) Look at my crashed vipers page there is a picture of a Hennessey that caught on fire while doing a top speed run.
4) Your right maybe I should change that to 30,000 less, ya know what's funny spend 80,000 on a 2001 corvette you will be running laps on vipers.
5) Was I not right?
6) Wow that's amazing you sold that much but look at the over all numbers corvette 34,000 viper-5,000?
PS) give me the link to your site so I can show everyone yours as well to return the favor!
