I re-posted a discussion on “Would You Take A Viper Over A ZR1?” (http://wp.me/pKHNM-1nH). To me there is really no discussion to be had. There is absolutely no way I’d select a Dodge Viper for a ZR1. Heck, there’s no way I’d select a Viper over any Corvette (even the ugly, big butted C5’s). Yup, even over the horse power difference.
It is mainly the design. The Viper looks like the it’s either broken in the middle or was two cars shoved together. Check this out?
So here ya go – the curve of the hood and rake of the windshield make he look “bent” at the vertical line drawn on the fender. The bump where the side exhaust starts the bent look. The door is hinged inside what would normally be a fender brake cooling vent. Then notice the back-end – it looks familiar, yes like a Mazda. It really looks like a sports car got been by shoving a Mazda Miata in its trunk.
Now take a look at a 1992 Corvette ZR1.
Let rake in the windshield and the brake vents are as they should be!!! Great lines!!!
Collector for a 1992 Viper vs. the 1992 ZR1 is a little one sided with the Viper about $15k more than the Vette, so for investment purposes the Vipers the one to own.
Your thoughts?

Chrome Fox Body is More Than a Pretty Face – MustangForums.com.

Most of the attention was on the newer Mustangs this year, but that doesn’t mean that the venerable fox body was overlooked completely. We saw this one customized by Creations in Chrome at SEMA right next to the grave digger monster truck
. And, from the look of that wide body kit and matching tires, we’d say that it fits right in.
The thing about Creations in Chrome is that their name would lead you to believe that all they do is make things pretty. When in fact, their show cars are genuinely built to race. A few months back they brought their 2011 Mustang Show car to the Mojave Mile and ran it at 182 mph. From the looks of it they’re not messing around with this fox body either. I mean check out the size of that intercooler! And the size of the supercharger, geez.
So yeah, you’d be forgiven for assuming this shiny Mustang is just another SEMA showcar. But in reality, everything about this thing screams race car. I’d be curious to see how it runs down the quarter mile. Hopefully Creations in Chrome will oblige us with video like they did last year.

This is one of the best car shows in southern AZ. Lots to do, tons of cars and it all held on ‘grass’. No dirt or black top parking lots!!! Come and find me. I’ll have my 70 Mustang in where all the Mustangs are.

I don’t have a 60’s vintage Mustang but I know some of the readers here do. This is a voice over slide show video, it’s done by a company that sells conversion kits for your 64-66 Mustangs. It’s a bit dry, but it’s pretty straight forward process.
Thanks for reading.

Here is another compare between the cars.
Breaking seems to be the main issue.
Funny they differ on which car would be better on the street.
Quarter mile was a blow out.
Thanks for reading.

Some great info on these two cars. Not sure they should be compared together.
Thanks for reading.

I’m seem to be on a Mustang kick lately. Here is great video on upgrading the brakes on your late (relatively) Mustang.
Good luck. Chase down the notes on MotorZ site. http://www.motorz.tv/

These guys work on some newer ‘Stangs. But there are some good hints and tips for working on your Mustang.
They have given permission for me to share the videos on Average Guy’s Car Restoration, Mods and Racing.
