Vehicle Description
Without even knowing you or what you drive, I'm going to tell you
that this 2008 Dodge Viper SRT-10 is the fastest car you'll ever
drive. Unless you're John Force, this awesome limited-edition Viper
delivers a lot more power than two tires should be asked to
handle.
Before we get to the hardware, however, let's take a look at this
beautiful Viper. Sure, the roadster is fun, but if you're serious
about going fast, this stunning Venom Red coupe is the only way to
do it. Obviously reminiscent of the Daytona Cobras, it puts
aggression in a whole new category and only 40 of the 300 Venom Red
Vipers had the silver stripes, making it a rare find indeed. And
like so many of its siblings, this one has seen only fair-weather
usage and exemplary care, so it's in outstanding condition
throughout. It's fitted with the optional aero package that
includes the carbon-fiber front splitter and towering rear wing to
provide a little added excitement, but with the Viper's already
outrageous looks, it only seems fitting. With only a few very minor
signs of use, it's obvious that this car has been someone's special
toy and there aren't many other cars that can generate this much
eyeball appeal on the road. And that's before you lean on the
throttle!
The redesigned Viper's interior got a much-needed makeover that
transformed it from "uncomfortable as hell but at least its fast"
to a world-class performance machine. Body-hugging leather bucket
seats with built-in provisions for shoulder harnesses, plenty of
real sound-deadening materials, and a full package of comfort and
convenience features mean that Dodge's Snake is no longer a
primitive beast. Those features include ice cold A/C, power
adjustable foot pedals, power windows and locks, a tilt steering
wheel, two-tone leather upholstery, and an attractive center stack
with a full array of instruments. This one also benefits from an
AM/FM/CD stereo, the sounds of which can easily compete with the
thundering stereo from the side pipes. There are virtually zero
signs of use or wear and thanks to reliable Chrysler OEM
engineering, everything works like it should.
The 8.4-liter V10 makes 600 horsepower, which is a big number for
an emissions-legal street car. Unlike, say, the Challenger Hellcat,
this Viper can use almost all of it and it catapults itself forward
like it's on the big end of a giant recoiling rubber band. The big
red valve covers and twin-plenum intake look imposing, and that
gaping air intake looks like it could swallow a Volkswagen. These
cars have a long list of available modifications from the
aftermarket, but this one remains completely stock, which is a good
sign. The heavy-duty 6-speed manual gearbox doesn't even blink at
the massive torque churning through it and the bellowing side-exit
exhaust system gives it a magnificent exhaust note that has to be
heard to be believed. The suspension is still ready for the track,
the brakes are the size of trash can lids and use bright red
calipers, and polished wheels carry brand new staggered 295/30ZR18
front and 355/30ZR19 rear Pirelli performance radials.
Every bit as outrageous today as it was when it was introduced, but
now with a lot more civility, driving a Viper is always an event.
