– The streets could be your playground. Be the bully. – Dodge Viper –
It is a car that is extreme in every sense of the word and absolutely does not deny it itself. The SRT 8.3 V10 unfortunately makes you think first of the latest Dyson model these days, but no, this is still a real car. The wide hips, enormously long nose and short ass immediately reveal that this is no average American. The driving experience, too, cannot be described as anything other than brutal. Thanks to the clutch, you can skip leg day from now on and feel like a winner every time you arrive somewhere. Because how unforgiving this thing can be; when mis-clutching, it doesn’t stall, it re-axes the street. Sorry neighbour!
Ours is from the third generation. Suspension technically didn’t change a whole lot, but it got a bit more venom in its thunder. They also realised that it got pretty scary at higher speeds without thinking about aerodynamics, so thanks to the redesigned bottom diffuser, you got an average American at high speed; 122 kilos! And sure, the dashboard and buttons are made of the kind of plastic we wouldn’t make our breadbox out of. But is that what it’s all about? And more importantly; Does it detract from the experience? Absolutely not. The essence is there and that’s what matters!
Ours is an officially EU-delivered version, however, so well looked after by the previous owner that the sidepipes have grown back and got tighter black rims in front. With its relatively low mileage, dealer maintained history and warm enthusiast nest past, this is one to cherish. Sadly, after 27 years, it is now history thanks to Greta. We think it’s an absolute Cool Classic that’s living the Hemi dream! Grab life by the horns, will we see you soon?
