I agree with preyash, Z4 any day of the week.

i'd def. take the viper!!


sell it and get to mz4s

[Teh Prof]

Viper for me, definitely.

If someone can afford the new Viper coupe they can probably also get the Z4 M too. If I had to pick one I'd take the viper. The feeling you get from that car when leaving a stop at WOT is insane, it makes your stomach feel weird like being on a roller coaster, a feeling I have never gotten from any BMW including the AA S/C E46 M3 my shop put together last fall. Out of the box it my not handle as well as the Z4 but it wouldn't take much to get it there.

size matters
no replacement for displacement

i'd get the new z06 though

The new Z06 is sweet but that new Dodge Viper coupe looks more agressive, it would look even better if you could get the competition package aero package on it.

z4m for me.. ive driven a 2005 viper vert and it was insane, accel like no bmw ive ever been in, but at the end of the day i know th ebmw wont let me down, plus it has a more comfortable and natural feeling driving position (try driving a viper with your shoes on.. ha.. good luck if you have anything more then probably a size 10) ... plus the cabin temp doesnt increase by 50 degrees from ambient just from the exhaust like in a viper.

Considering my head touches the ceiling in a viper, Ill take the Bimmer

[triggrhaapi]

I'd take the corvette, I really don't like the position in the Z4 it kind of wierds me out. It feels like driving a shopping cart because you're sitting over the rear wheels.

How tall are you? I seem to have issues with this in most cars anyway, regardless...and i'm 6'1".

OMG, I can't believe I agreed with preyash on something, but that is certainly common ground. I still say BMW over the Viper any day of the week, but I would sell my left testicle for a brand new ZO6.

i love the new vipers. side exhuast FTMFW.


why dont they put the c6 z06 up on that track against the z4? same price as the viper...oh i know, because it would kill the bmw.

buddy the zo6 is a different class so i wouldnt be surprised. It already almost beat the viper which is a different class already..

[Ivan]

the z06 is closer to being in the same class as the z4 than the viper is.



buddy...
