²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ car comparison: Bargain supercars

Can buying an extremely fast car be a practical decision? Maybe, because the new year brings some relative bargains. This time in the ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ Car Comparison, we have a fun pair of winners.

 

2019 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport

Price: $68,990 as driven (estimated)

Lots of excitement surrounds the 2020 Corvette — which will, for the first time, have its engine behind the front seats, in an evolutionary leap.

But lots of 2019 front-engine Corvettes remain, and getting a deal on one shouldn’t be hard.

The Grand Sport represents the sweet spot in the outgoing Corvette lineup, and features plenty of power along with upgraded brake and suspension parts, making it a terrific handler as well.

Also, this is your last chance to get a manual transmission in a Corvette, with the model making the shift to automatic-only in 2020.

2019 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye

Price: $88,410 as driven

Chrysler brands’ discounts have been the biggest in a decade, . That’s good news for those interested in a leftover 2019 Dodge Challenger – even the high-powered Hellcat.

Dodge’s website promises a discount of $7,970 on a Hellcat Redeye Widebody.

It offers otherworldly acceleration thanks to its 797 horsepower engine, but also provides plenty of room for five people and a comfortable ride.

The wide-body package allows for wider tires and much needed grip.

The Challenger’s inner headlight is actually an air intake that helps the powerful motor breathe.
