Vehicle Description
2008 Dodge Viper SRT 10
Want an affordable way to get your hands on a top-notch super car
which has serious collector pedigree and can handily smoke pretty
much anything on the road? Then step right up and take a look at
this well cared for 2008 SRT-1. 10 cylinders power this 600hp mill,
and a 40% decrease in overall weight from the original version.
This car is definitely a neck snapper. If you're looking for the
best version of one of the best super cars ever built, this third
edition Viper is your ticket!
A paltry 3,571, (yes that is Three Thousand Five Hundred and
Seventy One Kids!), miles shows on the clock. This classic snake
owner/consignor never raced it, or tracked it, never smoked in.
When it was not being enjoyed it was kept in the garage. Kinda like
a well-tended toy. All in a rare Viper Violet Pearlcoat with a mere
28 examples built this year.
Exterior
From the very front tip where the integrated aerodynamic HID
headlights are housed, to the rear spoiler which stands high and
proud this wide white striped snake dressed in Viper Violet
Pearlcoat (say that three times real fast!) is a designer's lesson
on the use of a french curve, and integration of various parts and
functions. Of the many fascinating aspects of this exterior design,
the two highlights for this writer are definitely the Viper
fang-esque, shades of the Corvair, Vette Stinger gracefully carved
from the sensuous curve of the hood, and serve an actual purpose
that is to feed precious air to the engine. The second is the
integrated exhaust exits which run along the rockers, but do not
show themselves until the bitter end in front of the rear wheel
well. Just genius, side pipes without side pipes. And borrowed from
the Mustang are the hockey stick reversed induction cowls on each
front quarter, bordered by the VIPER badge. Even the hood line is
reminiscent of the DODGE Daytona prototype cars that drivers of
yore would stuff themselves into for hours on end racing against
the clock... a tight fit! Forged polished H spoke wheels, 18x10's
on front and 19x13's on the rear add some bling to the bottom, and
this car runs on rails.
Interior
A swing of the airplane inspired roof wrap around doors and we see
2 black molded vinyl, playing with a curved line to form the door
panels. For the 2 occupants Viper offers up smooth black leather
bolsters in bucket form. Suede inserts are seen as well as some
molded in headrests with Viper badging. These seats are much like
racing seats, as they sport the curvaceous side extra large form
fitting bolsters. A large center console races toward the dash, and
at the dash is all the original instrumentation in the form of deep
set circular white faced trio of gauges with a digital ODO readout
in the speedo. Right out of racing tradition, the tachometer and
not the speedometer remains the largest central gauge. In the
center are more white-faced gauges which cascade vertically
downward and frame stage left of a radio and temp control large
industrial looking knobs. Nice black carpeting covers the floors,
and those are topped by purple embroidered Viper badged carpet
floor mats. Utilitarian meets functionality, with just a smidge of
luxury would best describe this interior.
Drivetrain
"Line up for the money shot!" the director shouts as we lift the
hood. Underneath an 8.4 liter 600hp V10 fed by EFI, and backed by a
6-speed Tremec TR6060 that sends power to the rear axle with 3.07
gears. This rear is a Dana M44-4 Carrier GNKvisco differential
unit. A skip shift eliminator is installed.
Undercarriage
With only 3,571 original miles you would not expect to see anything
out of the ordinary, and we do not! Just clean ground effects
panels, 4 wheel independent suspension and power Brembo disc
brakes.
Drive-Ability
Just a pure pleasure to drive this baby with the low miles I can
still smell the showroom, or was that my new penny loafers?!
Anyway, a quick starter, that has monster acceleration, and a
smooth cruise without even breathing. No fluff needed here, just
pure unadulterated excitement, kinda like driving a piece of road
art that was cut from a masterful design cloth of heritage road
racers.
You will not go wrong with this sports car, as it has factory
everything and it all works! All buttoned up and ready to roll and
throw some miles on this slot car. "When the snake bites..."
