I was going to do the same engine package....Darton 427 for my Trans Am. But I thought since I was blowing that much money I might was well go for a C5R block and be much more at peace with the engine reliability. Yes the 427 vette is going to be faster than a stock viper. Possibly more enjoyable depending on the owner. But if given the choice, I'd take my Viper any day over a modded C5. It's just an all around better car.

Get the viper, and maybe later down the road, you can start modding that thing up. When you do that, the 427 vette will only be a distant spec in your mirror. Plus, people will go nuts over a viper all day long....they see vettes at every street corner. Exclusivity is a large factor in Viper ownership.
