Of course, the Viper is constructed a little more robustly, and has a few more added safety features that are actually worthwhile in case of accident: like side door beams and a crumble zone up front...
Depends on your viewpoint; if minimum size/weight for racing is important, than Cobra with largest engine that allows for best weight allocation is the way to go; if cruising amongst the increasly oblivious masses on today's roads is your dream, then a little more weight and a little more safety-emphasis in the design/structure may be the deciding factor.
It really, always, comes down to what's your goal/desire/wants.
Just an opinion
