2017 Chevy Corvette vs Competition
If you're looking to treat yourself to a brand-new sports car, you've probably spent too long already reading through reviews and trying to comb through confusing spec sheets. Maybe you've narrowed your choice down to a few finalists, but aren't sure where to take it from there.
Good news: Apple Chevrolet has done the heavy lifting already. Let's see how some of the most popular models on the market stack up:
Of course, buying a luxury spo
In a contest of lowest price tags, there's one clear-cut winner. With a combined MSRP + destination fees of around $80,445, the Corvette Z06 is more affordable than the competition by a whopping 5 figures.
Of course, buying a luxury sports car is never about finding the absolute lowest price, but good value is crucial. It's important to know what you're paying for, and to never shell out extra bucks if you're not getting something more. Let's check out how things look under the hood:
Space is always at a premium in sports cars, but each of these models offers passengers more room than some competitors.

Meanwhile, the Corvette Z06 edges out the Viper in available space.

The 2017 Corvette Z06 comes blasting out of the gate thanks to a stellar 6.2L V8 engine serving up 659 horsepower, with the Dodge Viper close behind. The 911 Carrera falls behind in terms of raw power, though the innovative transmission is worth a look for those less concerned with speed. When it comes to turning power there's no beating the Corvette Z06, which delivers the most torque of any current production engine.
Nobody expects a sports car to boast an impressive fuel economy, which makes the Porsche Carrera's unusually high mileage worth consideration. That said, this figure becomes less important if you're looking more for a weekend toy rather than a daily commuter vehicle. The Corvette Z06 edges out the competition in tank size, meaning those drivers won't need to fuel up quite as often.
