I'm struggling to make a decision between this and the C2 corvette, friends and family saying the viper is in need of too much and could be risky, didn't sleep at all last night, going to spend the next couple of days mulling it over as I'm really struggling to make a decision, didn't really want a project as I have my C3 waiting to be done which is why I wanted the C2 to just get in and go, but the viper want runs deep, only time will tell biggrin
Just to be devils advocate it doesn't sound like either is the right car for you? Do you still have the Challenger?

Well I think you said it yourself, you have other projects to work on wink

Personally I think if you got the viper you would want to spend time doing this and that and other projects would again be put on the back burner.

I dont think its about the car, its about where you are placed at this moment in time.


The current owner clearly wants to sell fast and someone is going to get a hell of a lot of car for the money, If I had the cash I would add it to my stable.

Yes your quite right buddy, I had put the thought of a viper on the back burner at the moment and was just going to get the C2 as a finished car I can just enjoy while getting other things ticked off the list, it's just typically bad timing that a viper comes up at this kind of money that has really made me stop and think, I'm still not decided and going to give it a week to mull over and if it's gone then it wasn't meant to be.

You could also think of the car's this way, now it depends on your driving skills and how fast you like to drive

A C2 Corvette, well lets be honest, great as a Show car and a pose down the shops, would you want to put your foot down in it and push it round corners or do charity track events? Doubtful. Wife will probably like it.

Viper a super fast great handling, easy to work on Supercar on and off track. (As long as you respect the rubber between you and the road) wink A great European Touring car in top gear, then drop it into 3rd for Grin factor whistle Wife will hit you and tell you to slow down.

One is old tech, the other New tech.

I like to drive lol ask my bro, he used to get somewhat frustrated that in his carrera 4 he would struggle to get close enough to take me in my 75 corvette when we were doing runs through Bracknell Industrial estate with lots of roundabouts and short straights, best driven sideways :-) I gzve come down with man flu today so feeling pretty rough which has put a halt on returning on Saturday for another look, so in a weeks time if it's still there I will be returning for a second look.
