I would definitely get a Viper ACR over a ZR1... not only because it's pure awesomeness, but it has no electronic nannies whatsoever. Both of these cars really need to start offering sequential gearboxes, if not only to compete with similarly priced cars which do offer such a transmission.

Zr-1
FisForFast you really have a HATE ON for chev's don't you . I mean really , a ZR-1 is overpriced ? There isn't a supercar on this planet that gives you this kind of performance and backs it up with the kind of "powertrain warranty" as chevy does . The dodge viper ACR is an awesome car no doubt but is hardly a civilized machine to drive day to day like the ZR-1 . If I could afford a ZR-1 and get a good trade in on my 09 CTS-V cadillac , I would pick up a vette ZR-1 in a heart beat ! Just my 2 cents !

I have a hate on for GM in general, mainly because my hard-earned tax dollars are contributing to the development of cars like the ZR1 and the CTS-V. I cannot deny that they are definitely an awesome bang for the buck... but a $150,000 Chevy is out of the question. I'd rather buy a car from our friends in Newport Pagnell or Coventry, England, for less. It will be more reliable than the Corvette and have basically the same warranty coverage.
To suggest supporting Dodge over GM is beyond hypocritical.
Dodge builds nothing of any quality or reliability. At least GM has some great products. That $150K Chevy will own 99% of the cars on the road, while the $100K Z06 will take care of 95%.

You slag GM but sing the praises of Dodge?

Those that do usually find themselves wrapped around telephone poles because they are unforgiving machines. But you will certainly not realize this until you own a car of this caliber; these kinds of cars cannot be driven to their full potential, safely, on public roads, under any kinds of circumstances. Lamborghinis are not meant to be driven daily, or driven hard. They are precious, fragile cars.

Also keep in mind that the part of the reason that there are more "older" owners is that young people typically can't afford them....not because they aren't great cars or don't have appeal. Not everyone has parents that set them up.

FisforFast if you could even afford a Corvette then you would know how reliable they are. GM might have a lot of piece of **** cars for reliability etc but not the Vette. I've owned two and never had 1 single thing go wrong. I will take my ZR-1 when it comes in and race any stupid stock GTR rice burning piece of dung and sell it cheap when I win it.
