I've driven a '92 Viper several times and loved it...one of my friends' family is incredibly wealthy and they actually just bought a Gallardo but I'll probably never have the opportunity as it's down in Florida and I'm up in Ohio.
I loved the Viper so much because it was a PURE sports car...you drive it, it doesn't do anything to help. I hadn't driven a Z until I test drove mine, and while it's not the unbridled beast that the Viper was, it has a genuine feeling of purity. It's rough and tumble compared to other recent sports cars I've driven.
I drove a Porsche Cayman S with the PDK and yeah, very nice, but it felt soulless...the Z (Lana is her name) has a personality...I consider her a pure sports car and am genuinely worried she and her kind are a dying breed.
