I bought a '99 RT/10 Silver/ Black with 13,000 original miles. Awesome car! I plan on modding it too, just waiting for the funds to become available.
The vette and the viper are both wonderful cars, they have their strong points and weaknesses. The vette is the superior handling car, it is smoother and better made. The viper is a more powerful car, also a rougher ride, but certainly gets 10 times the looks the vette ever got even with the all the mods my vette had.
If I could describe it one sentence, the Corvette is a refined sports car, and the Viper is a street legal race car...
