in what world? lol
yeah when you compare a loaded Viper GTS vs the bottom of the barrel stingray then yeah, the vette is half the price
compare the cars on near equal trim levels and the vette is as much,and more often more expensive then the viper.
When you buy a viper, you buy the world records that go with it, cant say that for the vette really. The vette hasnt done anything substantial other then let you know who has genital issues.
The viper will punish you for being a bad driver. The viper has no remorse and will not assist you when you fuck up. Its a hardcore and raw car, period.\\
Which is why most people buy a vette over a viper because most vette owners dont know how to drive and they buy the car as a city cruising status symbol and nothing more.
What the fuck are you talking about? What does a "loaded" viper even mean, and why in the world would you want one? You aren't going to be daily driving it. And what is a bottom of the barrel stingray? When you pick out options for a Vette, it's things like chrome wheels instead of polished. It's not like you're opting for ac and power windows. There aren't that many options. And there isn't a Z06 made yet for the stingray. So what would you like to compare? A quick look at an article from 2013? Here's the match up between the 2013 ZR1, and the 2013 Viper GTS.

Of course, numbers do tell part of the story. These two are within 2 horsepower of each other and 4 lb-ft of torque, and the Viper weighs just 13 pounds more than the Corvette. The ZR1’s R-compound Michelins are rated at 80 treadwear. The Viper’s Pirelli P Zero Corsas are an equally yet somehow even more ludicrous 60 treadwear. As for performance, both cars hit 60 mph in 3.4 seconds and run the quarter-mile in 11.4 seconds. The Corvette’s trap speed was fractionally faster than the Viper’s --128.8 mph versus 128.7 mph -- but talk about splitting hairs. Both pull a maximum of 1.08 g laterally, though the ZR1 knocked off the Viper on our figure eight by two-tenths of a second, 23.0 compared to 23.2. The Viper stopped from 60 mph in 93 feet, one foot behind our former record holder, the Z06 on cup tires. I say former because hey, look at this, the ZR1 with the sticky Michelins managed to do the deed in 91 feet, the best stopping distance we’ve ever recorded for a production car. Anyhow, these two are basically dead even, dynamically speaking.
So performance wise they are almost dead even, with the Corvette barely edging out the viper. Price wise, the Viper was 20 thousand more than the Vette. The Vette crushed the viper in terms of comfort and driveability. So, if you want to spend an extra 20 grand on a car that gets beat out on performance, economy, and comfort then you go right ahead. I'll stick with the vehicle I can daily drive and get good gas mileage out of.
Do your research next time before making yourself look like an idiot.
