Battle Of Detroit Supercars: 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray vs. 2014 SRT Viper

We love German and Italian supercars. They are considered the pinnacle of engineering and design in every aspect. However, there is a sense of pride we feel when our hometown based automakers from Detroit release new supercars with massive engines and very aggressive styling. Two of the latest masterpieces coming out of Detroit are the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray from GM and the 2014 SRT Viper from Chrysler.

Which is better and offers the most bang for your buck? Well, let’s get something straight. For some time now, the Viper has always gone head-to-head with the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. however, the ZR1 version of the new Corvette Stingray is still a year or two away but the new ‘base’ Corvette Stingray is known as the most powerful ‘base’ ‘Vette ever.

TL;DR -- Stingray costs half as much as the Viper and is only .4 seconds slower to 60 so it wins.

No seriously that's all the actualy article says.

I am far, far more interested in comparisons of cars that cost within $10k of each other. That will tell you what you should buy over something else if you're doing any cross-shopping. Corvette Z51 vs Porsche Cayman (not the S) for example. Or vs the highest end Mustang which is pushing past $50k. The Cayman S with any sorts of options is going to run you into next-gen Z06 territory so that's where that comparison will have to be made. Etc.

Viper is expensive. When the next ZR1 comes out it can be compared to it. Or to a Carrera S or something.
