Now the Corvette is less $$$ appox. $10,000 to $20,000 depending on new or used. I'm talking about a fairly new car on both sides.
The Corvette rides better, sounds better, its cooler inside and its cheaper to fix or work on. The Corvette is also made out of better materials. The Vipers are cheap inside, its a Dodge thats just what you expect.
You can make anything fast so don't worry about modding something, I'm talking about stock for stock.
You really need to drive both and make your choice. The Viper is not a every day driver or something you want to spend a lot time compared to a Vette. They just don't have the creature comforts of a Corvette.
Again drive both and you will see.

being 100% honest.....I love the viper for its looks, performance, and it's not seen everyday so it has a more exotic presence. please don't make me pull out Zilla's flamesuit.

I've never driven a Viper myself, but have sat in one and found it short on space. I'm (only) 6'3"...
My neighbor had one for a weekend and said it drove as rough as a '50's pickup truck and no way was he going to buy it.

I gotta be completely honest. The Viper is undoubtedly......A DODGE for cryin' out loud.
No matter what. It's a stinkin' DODGE with a goat on its nose.
(But the GT 40 is pretty cool, though for $200,000+)

Vipers are sweet, but I do not know about that handling comment. I think we have them beat 
The guy who sold me my C5 purchased a Viper and has told me he made a big mistake. The Viper rides like a truck and since purchasing he has spent $6k to keep her running.
