I'd say most Vette owners would do an even swap for an equal year Viper any day, and not for resell gain, but because they would be moving up in true sport car class.
It would have made more sense if they were doing a comparison on a Z28 and a Mustang Cobra. Or a Cadilac, and Lincoln sedan, even though they have little knowledge about these cars.
No one is in doubt about the technolagy GM has put into the Z06, but we know that. We know a Vette gets better fuel mileage. We know it's a good car for the money, due to the high volume sales, and we know it's confy on a long trip, but we choose the Viper over it. They haven't the slightest idea of why we choose these cars.
That little show they were doing would be like me going up to a guy that has $25,000.00 in his 65 Mustang and telling him how much better an 05 Mustang is than what he has, as if he didn't know that.
And why are they doing a comparision with two american cars, that they have no real knowledge about.
Kinda like Carrol Shelby going over there and doing a comparison test on a Jag, and a Lotus Esprit twin turbo, and saying how much better the Jags rides, or bragging how much faster the Lotus is. They would find that very funny.

ps, they think the Viper trans. is notchy, they should drive it with a MGW short shifter on it, and one that has had the rubber isolater shaft removed. Now that's notchy.
