Numbers wise it's pretty much neck n' neck.. It's up to the driver. I think the Corvette would be a funner car just because of the better handling and it's not as "gauddy" looking than the Viper. Theres more leg and head room in the Corvette. I'd turbo a Z06 anyday over a Viper.

the displacement on demand systems are the sex.

Re: viper with tiny single turbo.
 

???

neither the viper nor the vette have any of that technology in their motors.

and the viper handles just as well as the corvette

Re: viper with tiny single turbo.
 

So perty :o

Re: viper with tiny single turbo.
 

No it doesn't. Car and driver just did a comparion a few months ago and the vette beat the viper in just about every test. It won the handling tests by quite a decent margin. ---- vipers

Re: viper with tiny single turbo.
 

which viper? i know the srt10 handles just as well in any test ive seen, but i hadnt seen all of them so maybe i guess

Re: viper with tiny single turbo.
 

I think they were more referring to how it handles not neccesarily the grip it has.I would rather have a Viper because every jack ass has a Vette and they lost the appeal when you see tons of them around.488 Cubes to boost just gets me excited vs a motor you better not ---- as it is pretty exotic in construction.

Re: viper with tiny single turbo.
 

as far as i know they are 500cid exactly

Re: viper with tiny single turbo.
 

The vid said 488, does that mean the vid is right? No. But that's what it said.

I was expecting to see like a KKK volkswagen turbo or like a 42/48. That ---- would probably be out of it's effeciency range blowing hot air, while just putting around town, lol.

Re: viper with tiny single turbo.
 

ah i didnt notice that, they probably de-stroked it a little bit when they built the motor. all viper motors are 500cid from the factory
