The Chevrolet Corvette, First built in 1952, was the ultimate american sports car. The Dodge (SRT) Viper, originally created in 1991, as the ultimate competitor for the corvette, and decades later, they are still part of a head to head battle to become the best, fastest sports car in the world. and today im going to review these two american monsters in an unbiased, unhindered test. (
)
First we have the C7 corvette. nicknamed the stingray, this machine has become an icon for america's motoring industry. its sleek design, light weight and high precision also help it to compete as a world class supercar. maxing out at 454 BHP (around 50 less than the previous installment), and with a weight of 1490 KG, this car is a real track rocket. Unfortunately, compared to the Viper, the handling on this car is quite stiff, giving it less speed in the corners. This car comes in at $51,000 (GT6 pricing)
Apricot Hill lap time: 1:32.961 (SH tires)
GT6 PP rating: 526 (stock)
Fully tuned PP: 634
Now for the much more powerfull, much more aggressive, SRT Viper. With a huge 640 BHP, and a reasonably light 1556 KG, this car is and absolute monster. however, with this much power, its quite easy to loose traction when exiting corners, so be careful. Because of this, the Apricot hill lap time was lacking, considering the big 40PP difference in the two cars. this car comes in at $123,000 (GT6 pricing)
Apricot Hill lap time: 1:31.376 (SH tires)
GT6 PP rating: 566 (stock)
Fully tuned PP: 639
Overall, i would take the Corvette, despite its lower performance. the reason being its less than half the price, and once fully tuned, becomes more or less equal to the viper. What would YOU take?
If anyone is wondering, the reason i decided to make this review is because i wasnt sure which of the two i should buy in GT6, so i thought 'Why not ask GTP?". in making a poll saying which i should buy, i decided to do a review on the two, which in turn helped me decide which to buy, so i decided to see what you think. if i have any statistics wrong, i apologize as i am NOT and american muscle fan, and today was the first time ive ever looked into any of these cars really!
Please reply and tell me why you like what you like!
