Is this an adjective or an adverb...?
In a sentence where the descriptive word follows a form of be (is, was, are, etc.), is the description an adjective or an adverb?
I.E. Arnold is stronger than Sylvester. (stronger) or simply: Arnold is strong. (strong)
The Corvette was faster than the Porsche. (faster)
It's been a long time since I had fifth grade English! Thank you.

As mike said, it is a comparative. Adjectives are the base form for making comparatives.
