If you are referring to the three-way testing between the Viper, Z06, and
the 2000 Mustang SVT Cobra, the Viper had it beaten almost every category.
I have seen the 2003 Z06 performance already and still no comparison against
the 2003 Roadster Viper. Yes! You may pay around 25000 dollars more, but
look on what you are paying for. With a 500 (HP) - 500 (lbs) - 500 (CI),
show me a Chevy product or Ford that is manufactured production for 2003.
Not to forget, the car will weigh-in less than 3200lbs. Allot of power for
lightweight vehicle, yet still runs a detuned motor that has plenty room for
additional power.
Sorry, not to over illustrate the amount of Vipers on the road compared to
the Chevy brand and the Ford. Ask yourself this question, which one will
turn heads?

Sorry but what makes you think the Viper is worth $130,000 or even $80,000.
Because other over priced cars cost that much? I would be much more inclined
to purchase a $50,000 ZO6 Corvette that according to Car and Driver is a
faster(yes faster) better sports car. I also disagree, the Prowler IS
assumed to be a retro performance car, retro yes(looks very cool)
performance NO and again is over priced. Sorry just my .02.
