TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray sets a new benchmark for value among well-equipped, comfortable, high-performance sports cars.

The 2014 SRT Viper trades many of its rough edges for refined capability, but it's still a gruff, focused supercar.

TCC Likes

Sharp new style still honors the lineage
Powerful engines
Good gas mileage for a high-performance sports car

Dramatic styling
Breathtaking acceleration
Confident handling

TCC Dislikes

Still not a green machine
Where's the turbo V-6 option?
Numerous body vents only available in black

Jurassic thirst for fuel
Interior is nice, but still underwhelms
Expensive for an ex-Dodge
