me names consumer reports queerest magazine ever

I think they are spot on, the 911 is the best sports car ever. It is what other cars should be inspired to be.

If you do not like how it looks well I guess everyone has differant taste. I happen to hate the look of both the viper and the corvette.

As far as the 650i, no thanks just give me an M5. More room, more power.

plain boring Porsche; the 911 and its relatives may look similar but they are anything but boring.
nice job porsche, lexus, mb, bmw, and… gm.

While the 911 may be the best all around sports car, I tend to give Consumer Reports not much cred in the sports car dept.

Id take the viper

I think its hilarious that the 911′s brakes are notable as one of the best ever tested by them……..and the fact these great brakes tie the Viper is an afterthought.

1952 MG TD do you masturbate over dcx at night? Because you sure have rose tinted spectacles abut their product line.

Porsche is the closest thing there is to ferrari

Porsche can only do so much with a rear-engined configuration. There are many negative inherent handeling traits, and the engineers in stuggart have done a comendable job minimizing these traits ofer the last 40 years… but those traits still exist. At the track, the viper is the winner of these three. on the streets, I can easily see how the viper fell behind the Z06 and 911.

in every test i see of these cars the 911 wins. they always say its the easiest to drive fast, or drive slow. thats why they sell so many. it can do so many diff jobs

go Porsche go

The 911 is the classiest of the bunch with history to match. The C6 Vette finally has looks that match performance; was always (C4 & C5) to soft looking. Now it is a bit edgier with a hint of Ferrari design elements. The Viper was a gimic in the 90s to help Chrysler with the Dodge brand. While impressive, it lacks the lineage of it’s competitors.

I doubt anyone here (including myself) has driven all 3 of these back to back so who cares what you think?

I wonder how many posters here even have driver’s licenses?

Pfft. I’d take a Corvette or Viper any day over that.

Your choice 1c3d0g, you can waste your money any way you want its a free country

or if i needed to show off or was on a date, then id take the vette. but if i just wanted a pure muscle machine, my pick would be the viper. the porsche, meh, its nice, but it just dosn’t have the toughness of the vette or the viper. i mean, with the quite 6cyl, the circle headlights, and the fact that its a porsche, its just not bold enough.

302k…ill ask the same thing i asked earlier. have you ever been in a 911 with a DRIVER behind the wheel?

I love Vipers, but the Porsche has the power/balance/racing pedigree. It’s the complete package.

Many posters have explained themselves in their posts. Some people just want a huge loud engine.

Some people just to not respect the more refined car and I think if you look at the majority of US made cars you notice that handling is not a major concern.

Myself when I think about a car I am going to use on the street I do not see anything over 300BHP as being all that big of a deal, but I do want better brakes, suspension and interior refinement.

You like what you like. Myself I prefer not to spend over 40k on a car it just seems like a waste of money.

Bennifer… the Viper is not a truck. It has NOTHING to do anything with trucks, possibly besides for the frame (is the frame from a truck?). The Viper can do fair when it comes to handling.
And how long do you think the Porsche 911 has been around? 1964, which it was a replacement for the 356. How long has the Viper been around for? 1993? ANd it had no predeccesor, so they designed it from the floor up. Yeah, big difference in time it took to create, and price.

ha, thats awesome. well that just proves the viper CAN turn. better than a porsche. well, with some upgrades of coarse.

1. The Viper has been tested against the Z06 at tracks and has been found to be slightly better in handling.
2. The Z06 is pretty much even with the Porsche 911 Turbo in everything, but cheaper in price and interior quality.

It all depends on what you personally prefer. The Vette and 911 are easier city-drivers than the Viper, since it’s made to be the rich man’s muscle car. The best bang-for-buck car is the Z06. And history means absolutely nothing. Your incredible racing and street history can’t change the fact that an old-fashioned pushrod engine is smacking down your state-of-the-art tubercharged flat-six.

But even then, the Subaru Impreza has the International Engine of the Year under its hood.

Z,
forget about Subaru winning International Engine of the Year. Just look what manufacturer won the most awards?
