I voted for the Viper. You really can't beat the value there, and the previous generation has prooved itself as a GREAT track car again and again. See SCC Ultimate Street Car Championship. See this year's One Lap of America. Viper + well thought out mods + capable driver = Ferrari's in the rearview. Oh, and they look sweet too.

I was looking at spending upto 100k for a new car, got the evo. Call me dumb but it is a lot of fun and I don't want a F or a P car. I had a NSX and loved it and if they would give it 400HP I think I would of went with the NSX but I got the evo. I am telling you now that there are very few cars even close to 100k that are as good as a evo. The viper is huge and looks like a clown shoe. Also the P car looks like a Frog. lol and F cars are under rated. A friend has a 360F1 and a 360 challange car, a 996TT etc. He will be getting a EVO soon lol.

i don't know if you are talking used prices, but it's actually 80k more than gt3. but 80k better of a car than gt3 as well.

I have been in and driven them all, like I said my friend has the 360's and the P car. I tell you what. Get in a F360 and go somewhere and when people start driving by asking you stuff and then they key it because of who knows why and they you are a rich ***** and then talk bad about you. I had a NSX for 5 years and you get about the same thing. If you are looking for looks YES they are the PERFECT car for you, but like AL if you want to CRUSH your friends 996TT with under 10k in mods the evo is for you. Hell I have a friend who sold his F355 to get a mustang because he got tired of getting trashed by hondas and other cars. So don't talk smack unless you have a clue

i don't think you are dumb for buying an evo over other cars but for putting down other cars.

i think they are all great cars, and i suspect that you've never driven a p or f car or even viper. if you did, you'd take it in a hearbeat. then again, if the looks don't do it for you, i guess not.

i think putting down car is like racial jokes. you can only put down what you own.(like chinese are the only ones allowed to make fun of chinese) otherwise, you just end up looking ignorant and start flame war.


so please no put down on any of those cars above.(i personally like them all) if you got an evo just say how great it is, not how stupid others are.

I'd say the Z06 is a better value, and a much more livable car. The Viper really is quite the machine too, and the perception that it's a bloated pig is completely wrong... Either way, if value is your primary consideration the Z06 and Viper are tough to beat.

if anybody remembers the scc shoot-out a few months back, the stock viper won overall with a slim lead over a heavily modified supra. the viper is just a sick car all the way around, and its kinda hard to argue with 8.0L and 500/500 power.
