Corvettes are like Ivan Drago, over engineered, over refined, chiseled features, and expected to be the pinnacle of sports cars. The Viper is like Rocky Balboa. Raw, tough as nails, trains by punching sides of beef and lifting oxen yokes, and not nearly as glamorous, but the better of the two. Even the manufacturers, GM is like the Soviet Government, corrupt, all about power and dominance, and Dodge is like Mickey, old school, gritty, and unorthodox.

I’ve owned two Vipers - a gen 1 RT/10 and a gen 2 GTS. The stock catalytic converters get so hot and they’re right by your feet. On my gen 1, I eliminated the cats. On the Gen 2, I switched to high flow cats and relocated them. This was the best thing I ever did as it significantly reduced the heat in the cabin in both cases.

The 1st-gen Viper could quite possibly be the most gorgeous non-hypercar ever made. The 3rd gen's cute and all, but there's something about the way the first Viper looks like an actual viper. Will I ever own one of these things? God, I hope not. I'm a child of the 80s and my first cars were a 1989 Chrysler New Yorker and a 1991 Plymouth Grand Voyager. I know, right? It's a miracle I'm still alive. The gen-1 Viper (particularly the blue GTS with white hugger stripes) will remain the poster-girl of my dreams. And just like Giselle or any of the Victoria's Secret models, I'm certain the reality has no hopes of living up to the dream. Yet another fantastic video.

Either that or Dodge had a limited budget and/or tight timeline and made the decision to focus only on the driving experience!

I see a Corvette and I think eh, fast boomer car. I always do a double take when I see a Viper.

Pretty much. My friend has a new mid engine Vette. Yeah it's really fast and everything, but seriously anytime we go cruising in it, most of the interest comes from the 60+ crowd. For roughly the same money, I'd gray market import an R34 Skyline, or late gen Supra or RX-7 that was only sold in Japan, because nobody else would have one. Corvettes are everywhere. Vipers are actually pretty rare.

Mans is so lucky to be able to hop between a C6 and a viper in the same day. Living my dream

I listen to a lot of ska and can confirm the best part is when the lead singer says pick it up. The horns go off and the scatting starts.
