SRT Viper vs the Chevy Corvette Stingray!

2014-SRT-Viper-TA-front-three-quarters-in-motion-3

SRT represents the power enthusiasts in the drivers market. That is clear by looking at their catalog of the powerful machines they churn out including the Viper. The rebirth of an old favorite, the Viper is the antithesis of what drivers look for in rugged power. It’s a vehicle that many a driver had a series of complaints about but put them all aside when considering the sheer joy of being behind the wheel of such a monstrous car. The SRT Viper isn’t the only major player in high power speed, so is the Chevy Corvette Stingray and The Car Connection decided to make a comparison.

It’s a fairly even head-to-head with each vehicle taking a win where the other falls behind. The Viper boosts much more horsepower, 640 hp to be precise, versus the Stingray’s 455 hp. However, that does cause the price of the Viper to be greater than that of the Stingray’s.

Another aspect they look at is that the SRT Viper, especially the latest TA breed, is designed more for track performance than for a leisurely drive to work. That doesn’t mean that SRT didn’t make the new Viper more accommodating for the every-day consumer that doesn’t spend a weekend on a track. The interior cockpit for the driver is much more friendly with quality materials put into the design. Even with all that, its clear that the Viper is still about displaying that power and no amount of comfort can hold back feeling that tremendous power.

The article goes into much more detail but makes it clear that the Stingray is more for drivers looking for a super car with more refined ride but the Viper is for the person who doesn’t want to hide their SRT power.

SRT Viper: Best Sports Car Ever Built!

Scott Burgess over at Aol Autos got his hands on the new SRT Viper and had some thoughts to share on the newly re-introduced super car.

Before you move forward, one must look back at the road traveled.  This is very true with the Viper.  It had earned renowned as a monster of raw energy back in its prime.  This allows the writer to vent on his gripes with the original.  Even though the classic was a fantastic drive, it was a pain to control.  That doesn’t happen to be the case any longer.

Burgess heaps the praise on for the new Viper, going as far as not to only call it the best car that Chrysler has put together, but also one of the best sports car ever built.

The picture painted on the whole of the Viper is quite clear, that raw power is no longer a power thanks to the engineers over at SRT.  Improvements were made with purpose and never forget the pedigree that made Viper such a name to begin with.

As many other reviewers have made mention of, the interior seems to be the place of highest upgrade.  No longer does a drive have to fear burn marks on their legs while in cramped quarters.  The leather surfaces give a “smell like money when you sit down.”

Read the full review and see just why Burgess was so thoroughly impressed.  If you’re fired up to take the SRT Viper for a spin, contact us at Bayside Chrysler Jeep Dodge.  Like us on Facebook, and follow us on Twitter as well, for more news on the Viper and other SRT products.
