Wow, that was painful to read. You certainly did not do any of the writing at that magazine.
Remember this before you post further:
"It is better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."
Back on topic...
This is a classic comment on the Viper:
"at lower rpm, the exhaust sounds like a tuba having sex with a vacuum cleaner." At least it doesn't sound like a UPS truck anymore, right? C&D still rated the '07 Z06 above the '08 Viper not because of speed but ease of daily driving. If someone is looking for all out speed and squeezing that last 0.2 sec from 0-60 or bragging rights... the Viper is the car to get. If you're looking for something with similar performance but easier to live with, there are several other options out there.

please come to my desk and see for yourself. yes it was probably incorrect but you can understand what i am saying. I could care less about being perfect right now on a forum- its not paying my bills to review and correct myself.
and those new viper colors wth.... purple? orange? baby blue? wow

I'm not a fan of the easter egg colors but I do like the orange color because it reminds me of a Viper I saw at SEMA 2 years ago with a House of Colors Orange paint job.

The real deal....
I owned 2 997tt’s; tests drove 4 C6 Z06’s and now own a 05 SRT-10 Viper. There is no doubt that the 997tt is the shiat on the track and road. The new Z06 is not as refined as the 997tt however it is much easier to drive then the Viper. I took the Viper to a track this past weekend and the back end was all over. The Viper is so shaky, loud, and uncomfortable and has the worst gear box ever however the fun factor is awesome!! If I wanted a serious drivers car to fully compete on a track I would have to go with something else, If I wanted to brag about the best factory American Muscle car in this price class it would be the Z06. Why do I have a Viper instead of the Z06 or 997tt????
Get one drive it around and you will understand. Mechanically there are far better cars out there however the Viper has that exotic following by people and they just go nuts over it. They follow you down the highway, stop dead in their tracks when you roll up at public places, kids drool on the windows at stoplights. Taking the Viper out on the weekends to dinner or social events is much more fun because how much people love the Viper. It is what it is, a RAW car that gets people’s attention.... Love it even though it’s a rolling brick

I really do not care im going to voice my opinion whether wrong or indifferent, it is what i think from my experiences and nothing is going to change that... if you have a viper that handles great let me whip it around big willow and may be that will change the handling but quality control still is not there PERIOD. Whether u agree or dont... i will still voice what i think

You're an immature little ****, that's why you get blasted. Pull your head out of your ****, all you do is spout bull**** - as if you have tracked every car to the limit and have such vast experience.
You talk a big game and IMO it's absolute crap, your comments are asinine and provide no insight nor benefit to the thread, the cars referenced in this topic have all proved themselves where it counts - on the track, for you to talk absolute crap about them because you prefer European cars shows your utter ignorance.
When you grow up you'll learn to appreciate things for what they are and not criticize them for what they aren't, until then just STFU and try not to make an absolute ******* out of yourself as however much i hate to admit it, you are the same literal (evidently not mental) age as some of us young guns.

You my friend run off at the mouth as bad as I do except I will say what i believe. I can really care less if you find it pointless and or amazing. I stated my opinion what I think, stop crying like a 2 year old for her bottle and move on. Yes I prefer European Cars because for the most they are built Better. In materials, Quality, performance, and handling- basically the whole package. I talk crap on them because they are not as refined as they could be and definately should be.
The potential of the car could be but will never be. For the reason of Chrysler cutting corners to save a penny. with a slightly stiffer dampening rates and more feedback in steering, closer gearing, and quality of materials I think it would be an overall better car. I do not feel it is there fore I cannot agree with most of you. So all in all drop it move on and get over it.

Great post... +1... ever since this ***** came on here, he has been spouting at the mouth like he is God's personal car critic. While we all have an opinion, I'm officially sick of his. Personally, I don't care what STATUS does for a living or if he really is the end all be all of car knowledge... its called "class" and "respect" and this guy has neither.
I stated my opinion not in a rude fashion or like i know so much. Most of you got so upset and started ripping me on it. I say what I feel and think you agree or disagree you to could do it in a proper fashion. SO we could agree to disagree. If your so upset about it Stop reading.
