bah, it's just a viper, they've been doing that to them for quite some time:D

vettes are much cheaper to mod.

good thing the bolt ons weren't a couple of turbos and bigger pistons:D

a blue 98 GTS with black leather interior.

customer let me take it for a ride after i waqs done changing the oil.

the cars interior panels rattle, the car has a bad exhaust note, the steering is poor for a car of that price, and the brake is very hard to modulate.

for a car of that price the build quality is horrible. at least the seats are supportive.

just saw one of those in a parking lot did ya like those calipers they must be a foot long, but those cost more than a viper right, they are not known for their luxury styling or comfort, but for raw american muscle.

i turned the ESP off, that thing LIT the tires up like you wouldnt believe!!!

so smooth, if your driving it easy, you cant even feel it shift. and the motor is quiet and composed. drop the pedal, and it just growls with this deep throaty roar. no raspiness, just amazing feel, steering and braking. has to be the best car ive ever driven.

What it seems that most people seem to forget is that the viper is faster than the vette stock. Though for the price, the Vette is hands down the best sports car out there. Notice how I said sports car.....Both in stock form are the two nicest, fastest american sports cars. Hell the Z06 beats the NSX Type R in 1/4 mile and around Nurburgring at a fraction of the price. So respect to both cars.

There is a shop here in indiana that performs voodoo on Corvettes. The owner just passed away in December. Use to throw twin turbos in to Vetts. Now they supercharge them from what I hear.
