I'd go with the Viper because I don't really like the look of the new GTs. And the ZR1 looks too much like a... Corvette. If I were to buy a Super Corvette it would need to look more like a Super Car. Like the C6RS.
Now if this were between a C6RS and a Viper I'd go with the Corvette.

Aw, but when you get old like me, the GT is fast enough.

Ford GT, I know it is slower in every way than either of the 2 cars but I love the way the GT looks. So much different then anything in Fords stable. Besides, I am a Ford guy. The ZR1 does look like another trim package of a Vette. The Viper is much more different than a stock Viper, but the still not enough appeal for me not grab a GT. I LOVE all 3 though. Good old American power and engineering!!!

Seriously, my Vette *only* puts down about 390 to the wheels. On the streets I can be in go to jail speed in well under 10 seconds.
I think where you get most used to speed is at the drag strip. I know there are lots of people here who in their earlier days thought 14 seconds was fast, now think 11 seconds is fairly pedestrian. But that's not driving a high performance car on the streets.

I get your point, and I agree, but 11 seconds will never be pedestrian. You'll never consider a car that can press you back in the seat to be... pedestrian. And although cars become more refined and ripe everyday, you'll never hop in an econo box that will be able to push you back in your seat. That's just not the sort of thing that will ever be unleashed on the general public.

GT for me. All three are on my list, but the GT is first.
