Other Choices:

While it may have several formidable rivals, the Corvette’s prime nemesis remains the Dodge Viper. The Dodge now boasts an 8.4-liter V-10 engine pumping out an even 600 horsepower as its sole powertrain option and is humbled only by the ZR1. Nissan’s GT-R also shows that it has what it takes to topple the Corvette, even approaching the ZR1 in performance. Combined with its all-wheel-drive system and sophisticated electronics, the 480-horsepower Nissan proves itself worthy on more than one count. The next closest competitor to the Corvette would have to be the Porsche 911. With its range of models (rear- and all-wheel drive, naturally aspirated, and turbo powered), the German icon offers more choice and arguably more refinement than the American, though at a significant cost. While the Porsche Boxster lines up nicely against the base Corvette, its six-cylinder engine is no match for the Chevy’s muscular V-8. The same goes for Nissan’s 370Z, although the sound from the Z’s tailpipes may persuade even the most loyal of ‘Vette fans.

    I've owned a 99 Vette convertible and I'd take it over the Viper for a car you can really drive. The seats are comfortable and it's just more civilized. The Viper is the kind of car most people don't put many miles on because there's so many compromises unless you just want a track weekend car and really know how to drive it. The Viper looks better though, it's much less common to see on the road as well. I think it boils down to the compromises you're willing to make with the Viper as well as the comfort situation.
