2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 VS. 2015 Dodge SRT Viper

Updated on November 5, 2014

Corvette Z06 & Viper SRT Overview

The new Chevy Corvette & Dodge Viper supercars are here! Last year everybody was in love with the Corvette Stingray, but now Chevy has made the new 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06, which is better than the stingray! The Z06 looks very similar to the stingray with some minor differences. The Dodge Viper has also stepped up this year’s model.

The 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 & the 2015 Dodge Viper SRT both have an incredible design. They are two of the coolest looking cars that you can get for under $100k. The most important thing for me is that they are both American cars, and there are no other American cars that look as cool as these two do. The new Corvette is the closest street legal Corvette ever to match the racing version of the C7.R. The Dodge Viper SRT starts at $84,995 & the Corvette Z06 starts a price of $78,995. Now, let's talk about the power of these supercars next.
