My question is why would anyone drive a 94 Viper over a C5 Z06? Looks? I think its slower, and way less comfortable for street driving, worse fuel economy....

Way more exciting. To drive. And by that I mean it will try to kill you.

My question is why would anyone want to drive either of these cars over an 05 Elise :)

The Elise is a good driver's car. The Viper is a bad driver's car (but quite a novelty). The C5 Z06 is more practical than both while also being the fastest. So they all have appeal in some way I guess.

If I had to choose one of these to drive across the country in tomorrow, it would be a Z06 by a large margin. For playing around in the mountains, the Elise wins by a large margin. Not really sure what the Viper excels at...

The Viper is something we would all like to drive, with the classic UPS truck V10. On the other hand, never meet your heroes...

I think the appeal of the Viper is, it's always trying to kill you. There's a demographic that finds that hugely endearing.
