Very nice, SW. Looks fast sitting there.

What is your best time in the new vette. It will be cool to here your personal comparison of the vette and viper.

Keep us posted.

Seriously man that's amazing you have so many awesome cars! Congrats on the purchase and enjoy it. I looked and saw the 06 Z06 in your sig and was like, omg i cant believe he keeps up with the amazing cars. You ever think about bringing that to TWS in College Station? There is a viper event early next year. I'll be there working corners...

First off, thanks for the comments guys. Mike, I have had the ZO6 for about 6weeks. Both cars are nice, no question the ZO6 is faster. I took it to the track with 18 miles on it and ran a [email protected] on the second pass. I haven't taken the Viper to the track yet. If someone was looking for a true performance "stock car", the ZO6 would be the choice. It's faster, bigger inside, more "toys" to play with and less expensive. The Viper is smaller inside, but I think the motor will be easier to modify. I'm a Viper guy and really like it. I plan on leaving this one stock, for the most part atleast for a while. I like being able to hear the radio and have a conversation in the car. I want my wife to be able to drive it also since she always says that she can't "drive" any of my other cars, which might be a good thing. ;) I'm really not a fan of the body style of the ZO6 or the Viper, but for me I like the style of the Viper better. I still like my "old" ZO6 better than both of them, maybe because I'm used to it. I'm going to a track event this weekend with it and going to show some Porsche guys what the rear end of a Corvette looks like. :D

Very nice to be able to get one of each of the top performing American cars and do a personal head-to-head comparison.

If you add any more cars, there will have to be a new magazine:

Street King's
Road & Track & Driveway

Were you missing two cars from your driveway recently ? These two look pretty suspicious. LOL

Yes, I will be in my "old" '01 red ZO6. White F350 dually and my "open" trailer..

TA219, the Viper rides alot better than stock. The stock set up is way too stiff, K&Ws are smoother..

Boy, do you have it bad! Having money or not, you must be single. No American wife would ever allow that many cars. However, if I was married and my wife said "its me or the cars." I may have to go with the automobiles. LOL

I like the coupe much better then the Roadster, and it should handle much better. It looks to me that the wheels are one stock ones that come with it same ones that are on the Copperhead and limited edition.

Steve, I sold my '97 Blue/white Viper.
Roger, I'm happily married for 16years, she is great. Everytime I get something new, she says "when are going to lower it?". Fortunantely, she loves cars too. Since I'm in the business, she get's something new to drive every 6 to 7 months. I just got her a E55 AMG, the fastest car she has ever had, thank God for traction control!!
customcam, they are the FE edition wheels from Dodge. I am getting some CCW wheels built, 19 front, 20" rear.
Ryan, thanks, I do work hard but fortunately, I love what I do.

The silver vette is not a keeper, it is just to hold him over until the black one comes in, you know SW likes black too. LOL
As always, looks great SW. :thumbsup: Now if you can just get a GT Ford, we can really do a comparision........
