Dodge Viper SRT-10
Specifications
The story behind this collectible...
- 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 that 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. Even the driving experience 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 neighbor!
Ours is from the third generation. Suspension technically not much changed, but it got some more venom in its thunder. They also figured out 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 cared for by the previous owner that the side pipes have been grown back and tighter black rims have been given for it. With its relatively low mileage, dealer maintained history and warm enthusiasts nest past, this is one to cherish. Sadly after 27 years 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?
