They're especially senile about the Gen 5 Viper, which they generally claim to be a piece of crap. When you point out build quality, they then open their Honda forum handbook and immediately bring up fuel economy. One guy claimed his M5 was a superior vehicle, and the general consensus was that BMW's are sh*t.
I like the Viper and have considered getting one, but it's a pretty well known fact that the ergonomics aren't great and even the newest version is difficult to warm up to. In the comparisons, it always loses to the comparable Corvette. I'm not a "Corvette guy," and I've never had one, but I'd take the Z06 over a Viper mostly because I think it's a better overall package.
