Because im im the market, but can't do both.

Fun, handling and speed are a must. Car will see track use as well as street.

is C6 ZR1 an option? of those 2 i'd say viper since they're so much rarer and more exciting to see on the street

Easily the viper for me. Its exclusivity and uniqueness of its engine. Not knocking the corvette because its a great car.

I'd choose the 'Vette, Josh........probably fewer ownership headaches, although neither one is known for reliability.

I like them both, kinda depending on if the track is a tight technical or a big long track.....I'd say have chit chat w/ the guys at the track(s)......I'd go w/ a '14-'15 Z/28 thou.......

Definitely Viper is the cooler car and will retain value much better.

Im building a house and my budget for that is what one of those costs.

Although, one CAN live in a car. But you can't race a house.
