2017 Chevrolet Corvette vs. 2017 Dodge Viper SRT: Compare Cars

Nelson Ireson Nelson Ireson Senior Editor

The Chevy Corvette Stingray and the Dodge Viper SRT are two standout options if you're looking for American muscle wrapped in a voluptuous sports-car shape.

Yes, there are plenty of very fast muscle cars that would like to contend with these two, but when it comes to track-carving capability and sheer on-road prowess, the heavier, lazier muscle cars—even the Dodge Challenger Hellcat, which comes close, we'll admit—can't compete with these purpose-built super sports cars.

TCC’s Bottom Line
The 2017 Chevrolet Corvette antes up stunning performance and great features; we're mixed on its boy-racer looks. The 2017 Dodge Viper is blessed with a stunning, seductive shape. Its big-engine, rear-drive formula remains appealing, even as the Viper drives off into the sunset.
