Why should I also consider these? X

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.
