Stock numbers
curb weight 3100 lbs
505 hp @ 6300 rpm
470 ft-lbs @ 4800 rpm
gas mileage 16/city 26/highway
stock numbers
curb weight 3380 lbs
510 hp @ 5600 rpm
535 ft-lbs @ 4100 rpm
gas mileage 12/city 20/highway
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.

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 *** 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.
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.
