Then that would make him a gay man with a fast car.:bored:
look wise I say the viper, driving wise I drove neither of them so I would have to drive them back to back and decide at that point. If you have big plans down the line the viper has a better motor to handle more boost.
No kidding? I'd run rotella in it anyways. :rolling:
If you're spending your entire budget on purchase price, you should probably go for reliability. In my mind that excludes the Porsche and the blown Vette.
If comfort is important, bye-bye Viper.
As for price, I sold my C6 Z06 (stock, 30K miles, great shape and never beaten) for 41K 1.5 years back. They're out there.

viper hands down.
Porsche or Viper.
Porsche is in a class all its own, but prepare to pucker up for that maintenance. As stated earlier.
Viper on the other hand, you could build in your driveway.

Z06
Viper for looks- they just have no creature comforts and ride horrible.
C6 z06. A long time ago I'd say Viper. But higher maintenance cost, less reliable, less aftermarket, more expensive aftermarket, no ABS till 2000, lack of traction controls, more body panel fit and finish and ugly idle exhaust note.
The sad news and good advise is, if $35,000 is your budget, you can not afford a Porsche. The upkeep would make it a very unpleasant time in your life.
You can't deny the power potential of an LS3 C6 either. LS7s won't handle the boost like an LS3 does. But, I guess it all depends what set up you want. If someone prefers a nice heads/cam car with a sweet LS cam chop, then yeah maybe go with the Z06. If you want to spank everyone, then think about the supercharged C6.
Lemme know when you find a C6Z in decent shape and mileage for $35k.
I haven't price checked recently, but you may be able to grab an 09 CTS-V for that price. ~$600 got me +70 rwhp, up to 549...
You would imagine incorrectly, but that's not terribly surprising.

My buddy just bought a built 06 srt8 300. Built by rdp motorsports. He paid $27000. for it. It is insane, over 600 rwhp. 10.9 and 10.6 with nitrous. I'll see if I can find the specs on it.
Z06 they are just badass cars
That link is dead, but the cheapest C6 Z06 I can find on ebay right now has 80k miles for $37k. He's right, you won't be able to find a C6 Z06 for $35k without either an assload of miles on it or a salvage title. Well cared for, low mileage examples are still in the mid to high $40ks.
If you want something that's been beaten to hell for 100k miles, sure, have at it.
I'd stick with an LS3 'vette if you're the typical SVTP $30k millionaire. You won't go into quite as much credit card debt when it breaks on you vs the Porsche or the Viper.
