    The Shelby isn't even going to be produced...

    I'll take the Viper. I'm not a Chevy guy.

    edit: Thought about the shiny Shelby concept for a second there. Sorry!

    I would take the Viper. I always read that its more of a track car than people think. Also I don't care much for the Corvette and how people go on that its the best sports car value. I kind of view as the American Skyline in that sense.

    To be honest, I wouldn't buy any of them. Of of those three I think the Viper is the best, but I really don't think it is drastically better than a 'vette. If you want a good mustang, you're going to need a Roush. Not a big fan of any of them though.

    So far the pictues I've seen don't really impress me. I need to see it for myself. I bet its nice, but in pictures its just another mustang.

    Oh, I was thinking of the shiny Ford GR-1 Shelby thingy for a second there. My bad. Didn't realize that.
