I have owned the following Corvette's 1960,1974,1986. I also owned a 1995 Viper. I liked them all and still do. I now own a Everett Morrison 427 Cobra,
I am 55 years old and given the choice to buy the Vette or GT-40. My money is on the GT-40. My opinion is the Corvette and Viper now look too much alike and that destroyed my passion for new Vipers and Corvette's. With the Vette, you will be one of the many VS one of the few. When you sell, you will have one of the many VS one of the few. You will have pride in ownership with both cars but you will most likly get more public thumbs up with the GT-40 and all us car guys appreciate those. I am now buying a 1997 Viper. I go to car meets and see rows of corvettes but I have only seen 4 or five GT-40's.
I dont like to get lost in a see of look alikes. When you pull into the local gathering place on a summer night you will get Oohs and ahas with both but the croud will stop what they are doing and come to the GT-40 first.
Now if it is the croud is all women you dont stand a chance against the vette. It's even worse if the vette is red!
