Best Answer

The Corvette is much, much older, first being sold in 1953, with a 6 cylinder motor and no V8 engine option interestingly enough, whereas the first Dodge Viper was released in 1992.

The Viper boasts a truck derrived V10 motor, whereas the Corvette had a Inline-6 motor for a short period and a V8 motor most of its life which was used in a wide range of GM products.

The Corvette's smallest motor was a 3.9 litre Inline-6 and the largest was a 7.4 litre V8, but the Viper engine has rised from 8.0 litre to 8.4 keeping the same V10.

The Corvette's highest ever power output was in the 2010 ZR1 with 638hp from a 6.2 litre Supercharged V8 whereas the most powerful Viper has 600hp from the 4th generation SRT10 with its 8.4 litre V10.

The cars have always been close rivals, but the Corvette has always been more popular, due to is being priced lower than the Viper, but making the Viper more exclusive.

There are a lot of differences, I could go on for quite a while, but these are what I feel are the mains ones.
