Specifications & Summary

Summary

As a performance car designed strictly for performance driving, the 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 is almost without equal. Its slingshot acceleration, barnacle grip and dropped-anchor braking abilities put it in a rarefied realm that only a handful of performance cars can match. Yet as a day-to-day vehicle the Dodge Viper fails utterly. Die-hard fans may like the rawness of a Dodge Viper SRT10, but there is a long list of cars we'd rather drive on a daily basis, even if it meant giving up some of the performance of the Viper.
