Thanks

The easiest way to compare them is torque vs high rpm.

The Viper is putting out 120 more ft lbs torque ... and you can really feel it down low. The engine tops out at 6k rpm and with 3.73's that seems quick.

The ZR-1 is a blast to keep revving to the moon ... especially with the 3.45's

The ZR-1 seats are WAY better , because I am a thin guy ... they hold my sides better.

The ZR-1 actually rides smoother in performance mode vs the Viper.

The Viper and ZR-1 both shifted around the same until I put a short throw in the Viper ... and now I prefer the notchiness of the Viper , they use T-56's ... so installing the short throw setup includes an improved gate setup, not a shorter shift rod.

The Viper actually has angled pedals for the heel - toe , which felt weird to me at first, but I am getting used to it. I prefer the pedals on the ZR-1 for sure.

Driving the ZR-1 is a lot more comfortable ... the Viper seems to demand a lot more respect.

They both feel confident in the twisties. Both should be high 11 second capable cars.

Honestly ... seems like they are almost as opposite as you can get when comparing two domestic "supercars". I prefer the v8 rumble ... but the v10 high lift crackle is growing on me ---
