I bought a Z06 last weekend. I'll post the story and pics soon. I'm waiting for my track pics to come in the mail.

Congratulations on the purchase.

As for the Viper versus the 'Vette, I'll happily take the Z06.

when you have time let us know what you think about Z06 vs 997 GT3 on the track.

Man, I sure can't wait to have enough disposable income to be able to purchase a hard-core sports car on what basically sounds like a whim.

Congrats on the car, man! Enjoy the wicked horsepower.

Re: 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 v 2007 Chevrolet Corvette Z06

I'll start a new thread once I get some good pics, but basically the engine in the 914 blew on the first lap, I got some guys to help me push it in the trailer, I started driving back to my hometown, got on the cell and made a deal to buy the Z06, dropped off the trailer, got in the Z06 and drove back to the track. I got back late in the day, so I missed the track sessions Saturday, but I drove it all day Sunday, including one one hour session.
