There’s just one Viper engine, a massive 8.4-liter V10 making 645 horsepower and an earth-shaking 600 pound-feet of torque, more than any non-turbocharged sports car alive. A Tremec six-speed gearbox moves the power to the rear wheels.
It can accelerate from zero to sixty miles per hour in three seconds, after which brief time your eyeballs will be deep in their sockets. The quarter mile can be finished off in a bit more than 11 seconds, at which time the speed will be nearly 100 miles per hour. With the full aero package, the top speed will double that, plus six miles per hour.
But the Viper isn’t a one-trick pony. It can turn as well as sprint forward. The stability control isn’t so sensitive that it takes the fun out. Even in its full track mode, it allows enough sliding for spirited driving on the track. Totally turned off, you can feel the Viper’s good balance, with massive grip from the tires and surprisingly solid feel through the steering wheel and driver’s seat.
The ride is fair in the SRT, and a bit better in the models with the adjustable dampers. It’s never really objectionable for a sports car.
The Viper’s low-slung body isn’t just muscular, it fairly bulges and ripples. Its details are downright threatening, with vents and intakes like scars along its side.
The menacing exterior is contrasted by the nicest cabin ever put in a Viper, with ladylike touchscreen interfaces and fragrant Ferrari-esque leather seats. The cabin is surprisingly roomy for being so close to the ground. There’s excellent head room and leg room (Dodge says a 6-foot-7-inch tall person will fit nicely inside), the seats are comfortable and broadly adjustable, and the steering wheel and pedals also adjust.
This comfort is welcome because it’s so noisy in the cabin, even at low rpm on a smooth road.
The cargo space is decent, 14.65 cubic feet, about the size of an average trunk; but an odd shape under the hatch effectively restricts luggage to soft bags like duffels.
Last chance. You can’t get any of the commemorative models, but no matter. Buy a base SRT, keep it until you die, and will it to your children.
With the rest of the 2017 lineup, there are no changes, in the base Viper SRT, GTC, GTS, and the track-ready ACR. The SRT starts at about $90,000, including a $2100 gas guzzler tax and $2495 destination, while the ACR pushes it to about $120,000.
The different models don’t just change trim, they change the handling. The SRT is basic, and firm for the track. The GTC and GTS get adaptive dampers and upgraded electronics to make them gentler for daily driving, plus a backup camera. The ACR features Bilstein coil-over racing shocks, carbon-ceramic brakes, and Kumho Ecsta tires. Available on the ACR is an aero package with carbon-fiber wing, diffuser, louvered hood, and extendable front splitter.
