C6 Vert is $38k. At $52k for the Viper that’s getting into C7 range
C6 interior is as bland and boring as it’s possible to get.

you would be better off in the C7 for all around use. Viper nice summer car though. If you are leaving it locked up most of the year

It is, Viper interior is driver focused, and way cooler taillights. C7 vs Viper sightings, 9 to 1.


Whatever you decide will be cool

Can’t put my finger in it but I hate it. Maybe because it’s not a vette.

Inferno Orange looks like its on fire in the sunlight. Atomic Orange is a bit darker. I believe that Inferno Orange was available '11-'13.

The Camero was also available in Inferno Orange.

the newer model year car you can get will have the most bells and whistles. Just the way it is. C7 wins there too. Taillights a side. It is still a great ride good luck with whatever you decide on. My C5 Z06 was my favorite ride

I loved my C5 vert, and I would have bought it back, if @87 Ragtop hadn't totaled it.

Beat me to it. I will continue to enjoy the Ferrari until I upgrade one gen to a Z. Don’t need nothing more for the street and I love the look.

We picked up his HD, Explorer and his TV and moved him in with us.

I’d see him every morning at 4AM having a cigarette in the garage and go out with him. Literally wasted away where he couldn’t manage the stairs.

53 yr’s old, not a care in the world. All he wanted to do was drive trucks and ride his Harley.

Rest in Peace Terry

Have been thinking about you all.

Too young. What an incredible gift to care for him in your home during his final days. That is a VERY hard thing to do.

As if we needed any more proof that you are a great human Mike.
