The 2015 SRT Viper is a brutally efficient performance car, but even with the latest upgrades, it still lacks the refinement and comfort of European cars like the Audi R8 and Maserati GranTurismo.
The 2015 Chevy Corvette Stingray Z06 may be the closest current analogue to the Viper, with 650 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque from a supercharged 6.2-liter V-8.
It's the most powerful Corvette to date, and easily the most track-focused.
Unlike the Viper, the Z06 will be available with an automatic transmission and either a removable roof panel or a convertible top.
We haven't driven it yet, but expect the Z06 to further fuel the Vette-Viper rivalry.

With exceptional performance, style, comfort, features, and most of all value, the 2015 Chevy Corvette Stingray is a remarkable sports car. |
