Default 2008 Viper SRT-10 Coupe

http://www.dpccars.com/car-videos/09...T-10-Coupe.htm . Also I did not post this so GM nutswingers could say dude the ZR1 will bury this yada yada. Just thought I would share. Keep in mind, Edmunds is not known for posting great test #'s either so this car def has more in it with a skilled driver.

On another note, the exhaust note sounds much better on this car than prev Vipers IMO.

Also for reference sake, they tested a C6 Z06 on the same day on the same track (Motor Trend). It ran 11.8@121.6 to the Vipers 11.7@124.4.

Wish I had 90k to throw around on an vehicle. **** you can live in a car but you cant drive a house.

I dont like the styling or sound that the Viper has. It sounds like a Subaru with headers and a catback and that is to me. I wanna Dodge for making such an annoying sounding "american" car...........

I love the look and love the power... however, I agree that they sound terrible. Adding those two extra cylinders makes it sound like you took four away.

You must have missed my post about it trapping 3mph more through the quarter than the the Z06 on the same day. Et is relative to traction. Street tires cant hold 565lbs of tq with an aggressive launch.

Lets put boost on both engines and see what one is the first to pop and and put down more numbers before popping. The vette will never be as flashy or as exotic as a viper. Nearly 2 decades would be close. The viper came out in 1992 with the RT-10 in only red I belive in 95 was the first year for the GTS.

Like VIPERS more than Vettes...I live near[3 blocks] 8 dealers..only high end..[porsche to aston martin to Ferrari to rolls to lambo's] SEE all sorts of NICE IMPORTS.. ...and I see 10 vettes a day if I venture 10 miles away...I rarely see any Vipers.... ...sound is not great.. ..but give me a blue one and I would never even debate a vette...also I Do Not like the idea of the new vette NOT being called a STINGRAY either..ZR1..BLAH.

im sorry i just have a grose taste for anything chrysler related.... i actually like the look off the vipers but it being dodge makes me hate it... IMO the LSX based engines are the best on the market for what you can do with them how they sound you cant beat it... v10 or not... 1992 would mean 4-5 years front now (depending how you look at it) it would be 2 decades... they are just trying to make it sound like that car has history like a corvette or a mustang... as for the ZR1 deal... stingray would have been cool... but its better than corvette SS (lame).... it really doesnt matter what i think anyway cause ill never be able to own one so who the hell cares just thought id rant a little stir up some conversation....

I want one in Green please!
Trying to get that car to launch with that much torque coming on so strong is hard to knock down kick butt ET's. On street tires, all you'll end up is smoke and a decent et. Awesome car, love it.

That would be an awesome race, we all know how good a LS Motor is from a roll in pure stock form let alone a LS7.
Oh yeah, let's not forget that the Viper has about 310lbs more than the Vette.
Either way...bad cars!

I love Vipers and this one is better than ever. Unlike the Vette which you see tons everyday the Viper is more of an exotic that you only see on rare ocasions. I would never even consider a Vette if I had the cash for a Viper.

The Viper trapped 2.8 mph higher than the C6 Z06 on the same day and same track. It also has a better power to weight ratio. The viper has a .58 lb per hp advantage. you do the math.
