2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 Roadster Road Test

In the annals of mankind’s most pleasantly unexpected decisions, Dodge deciding to produce the Viper in 1992 ranks alongside AC/DC writing bagpipes into their 1975 hit “It’s a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock ‘n’ Roll).” Like bagpipes, the Viper is polarizing, loud, and impossible to ignore—especially in Snakeskin Green.

Yeah, they need to get rid of that car that trounced the record board at the Ring (the ACR edition to be fair)

Is it just me, or am I seeing a picture of a Nissan Versa instead of the Viper?

The Viper honestly needs to go. It can't handle being with the Corvette Z06 (no prayer vs. ZR1), even though the Viper has a 95 hp advantage, 2 more cyls, and almost a liter and a half more displacement. Plus, deboost me if I'm mistaken, the Viper has an old-school steel frame, whereas the Vette has a mostly lightweight aluminum frame.

wow another comment made on emotion and not face. The Viper has a much more advanced frame than the vette. The problem with the vet is body flex. the only reason chevy built the zo6 and zr1 is due to the fact that viper whipps its ass. THATS FACT by the way the viper frame is not steel

And by the way while were at it if the vette is so superior then answer this Why does scca factor the viper twice as much as the vette. scca has factored the viper so much it cant hardly compete anymore. The viper has always spanked the vette. Vette is a nice car but its never been better at anything to a viper PERIOD.
