My girlfriend said, "The Viper is the perfect car for picking up ********!".

I thought that was pretty funny.

SlowCreamPuff,

NOw that it has been a while, what are your feelings towards the C-5 vs the Viper now? I'm just curious...

Yes, it has been over a year now.

I still have both the C5 and the Viper.
The comparison is not typical because the C5 has 2 turbos.

Attention: Viper wins hands down. Absolutely no contest.
Feel: Viper wins. The steering has better feedback.
Comfort: C5. Easier to get in & out of. More room. Real A/C.
Speed: Not a fair comparison.

Quality: C5. My Viper has many tiny issues.

Not that the C5 is all that great in quality.

Now, just wait until I get 2 turbos on the Viper.

I love driving my 2001 GTS.

It's all Bill Pemberton's fault for selling it to me.
