[chrcowan]

[phantom5573]

@chrcowan

That's very gracious of you.

Take care of your Viper...

[monky1456]

A 16 Year old kid dirves of one these to school, crashed it the first week and had a 12,000 repair and not to mention the insuerence for a 16 year old with a red Dodge Viper... F That.

[FlightX101]

@monky1456 Lol the monthly insurance payment must be a nightmare

[1mckayj]

corvette>viper

[Bduke1000]

@1mckayj Tell that to the 7:12 on nurburgring.

[MrDaBassMan]

I just wish Dodge had just used a 6.1 or 6.4L Hemi engine with a supercharger I bet it would be a lot faster...it'll be interesting to see what they build next though!

[cardude1992]

i hate way he says "daaaaaaaaadge" viper lol

[jeebzPB]

Did they just say the Viper is a super car?

[TitanSubZero15]

@jeebzPB I know it's 5 months old but technically the Viper is an American supercar. The term "Modern Muscle" is simply a stand alone name based on looks, when clearly it's not powered by one of Dodge's signature Hemi V8 engines. The engine itself was also developed with engineers from McClaren, so in terms of performance and status, despite it's cheap ass interior, it is a supercar. The ACR and ACR-X are also identified as "Exotics."

[maxthehulk]

@jeebzPB yes dodge viper is a supercar because it is :

8.4 l v10 600 hp 560 flb

acceleration 0 to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds

top speed 202 mph =325 km/h

[TheLPETF]

Quelle voiture de merde franchement ...

[GTASAmovies1]

I'd do unforgivable things for this car

[ShareYourEye]

:D :D @ 0:20 "Hello and welcome to our comprehensive KBB review of the Duh-odge Vypr. :D :D Sounds so silly, trying to sound convincing :D :D

[CrisWelps]

he said HIV headlights O_O

[harris3693]

@CrisWelps of course, it is too sexy for the dweebs test driving and reviewing the car!!!!!LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

[YourPowerStation]

Thumbs up if you like the viper sliding in the newer review videos

[ViperSRTnACR]

Additional options including send the car to UR or ART racing for a completely blu printed tubo system and engine build pushing the cars HP levels to 1200+. And with AEM or MOTEC tuning the car drives ike stock until you put your foot into it... :)

UR too there 2008 Twin Turbo Viper to the TX mile event and reached over 200mph at the 1/2 mile mark.

[johnkimble2007]

I have a 2000 rt/10 i got for 43 grand a few years ago and i love the body style compared to the new one and it doesnt even have ABS thats what i love the most no stupid gadgets that just get in the way what a car

[RICH123nick]

haha im 17 and i have a 2008 SRT10 Viper ... i just love to rev the engine in front of all the ladies

[64bitgfx]

i would rather drive a maserati granturismo

[omgsplace]

My daddy owns 7 of these things!  He also owns a mazarati, lamborgihni, and 4 porshes!!

[ultraphoennix]

is he own a showroom or something

[Sherwin930]

then tell you dad to give me one =]

[janmaomuriano]

@omgsplace too bad your dad got so busy driving those imaginary cars that he forgot to teach you how to spell correctly

[maheshcx]

@omgsplace lol bs

[StevoElsupremo]

that car looks sooooo awsome

[coolcat350z]

I own a 94 and love the car. There isn't nothing like it. So RAW. It teaches you to respect it for to be forgiving. And I love giving people a ride.

[cbrownstead]

Me, I didnt buy a viper as a daily driver, this thing is a put a smile on my face toy that I use on weekends to have a little fun . . fits in with my other sports cars, different is good in super car and sports car world . . .its not a honda accord people . . .hello

[Sherwin930]

yea it aggravates me when everyone drives around in a malibu, camry, or accord

[maheshcx]

why?

[Sherwin930]

@maheshcx i hate when everyone has to be practical whenever i see a man in a unpractical insane car i wanna walk over to him and be like good job your not like the rest of them

[maheshcx]

well most ppl just dont have lifestyles to accommodate for those kinds of things and i agree i envy those who do

[buttnut1080]

People would get so aggrivated with this car so quickly. Think about it, no comfort, no traction control and lets face it with that kind of power and torque, you need it, and burning door panels? Come on. Be realistic. It would be much more rewarding to buy a zr1

[MarshallTK]

@buttnut1080 Like he said it depends on the person.

EX: Some people are calm and not as energetic as others. So a ZR1/Z06 would be more of a car for you.

Some people are always up and running, alert. This wouldnt mind them.

I have a modified car, the loud exhaust note pleases me where as for others it does not.

Depends on person to person.

[vipermoon64]

the viper is amazing. i cant explain it. no matter how much better people say a corvette is. trust me: you will be much happier with this dodge. wow! its great

[dayfisher1]

I have owned two vettes but last month I had a chance to drive a 2005 viper and I have to say you are 100 percent right. It's a magical car and I am going to buy one in the spring. Used, I can't really afford new right now.

[vipermoon64]

ya but you have to get 2008+. the previous viper has engine heating problems, less performance, slightly worse interior, and worse gas milage

[dayfisher1]

Less performance???

If that is the case the 2008 plus must be insanely fast because the 2005 was a beast!

[vipermoon64]

ya, from 1992-1995 it had 400hp, 1996-2002 it has 450. 2003-2007 it had 500 or 510 horsepower. 2008 and plus it has 600!

[turbotomasz13]

if anyone knows a city with a video

[monkeycheese7979]

My buddy just bought one.  Awesome car.

[Vipercrazy1]

im with you all the way buddy i been saying that since i was eleven and now im 20 never lose love for the viper

[deeeznuts00]

dope ride

[photonarbiter]

im 16 now and since i was 4 i wanted the viper. i want to be a game designer and im gunna save all the money i dont need to spend and one day... ill get one :D i love it

[gtrevs]

you do that !! fulfill your dream !!

[mazdahardcore]

same here

[alvin41789]

yeah i wanted a viper too when i was younger but now it just seem inposible to save up 90-100,000 dollars ima just go with the nissan z 370

[xarnoldx10]

@photonarbiter you can actually get a used one pretty cheap now

[YourPowerStation]

@photonarbiter the 2010 dodge viper is the last dodge viper available

[photonarbiter]

@YourPowerStation u mean the latest? .... or the FINAL....

[photonarbiter]

@photonarbiter lol 17 and getting my license now. 1 step closer!!

[887Bingo]

@photonarbiter same here. Viper is fucking awesome

[BigD1767]

@photonarbiter you sound just like me, i plan on getting one before im 19, i started saving from jobs and stuff, if you can save up at least 30 gran by the time you get into college or whatever then you can get one

[GTSRBOY]

amazing.

[Setpblock]

Audi Rules

[injen2000]

Randon question, but is a Dodge Viper's hood longer than the 05+ Mustang's, and by how much? I'm thinking it is...I know its wider though.

Thanks

[68LPC]

well its got a V10 lol so YEAH its a lot bigger

[corvettefan96]

it doesn't have technology like the Nissan Gtr

It doesnt have the quality of a toyota,

yet this is possibly the most fun supercaron the planet

[tneper]

The lack of technology is one of the things that MAKE it fun. The Viper is intentionally built to be low-tech, it's a pure car with no driver aids to cover your mistakes.

[corvettefan96]

ur right on!!

[youmils03]

Standard features include air conditioning, tilt leather-wrapped steering wheel, leather/faux-suede upholstery, and 6-disc CD changer.

The only option is a navigation system.

The Corvette ZR1 is more upscale. For $85,000, you'd think the Viper would have more standard features.

[jacknocf]

well u dont understand the essence of a viper. now in all actuality the viper cant be compared to a Vett, the vett is about being sensibly comfortable and classy while being fast. the viper is the modern Shelby Cobra. so the viper is all about balls out power. nothing more. the viper doesn't apologize about it either and thats its appeal. no G sensor no computer aids or fancy electronics . the point of a viper is just about being bad ass, there is no car more bad ass than a viper

[youmils03]

very true

the only reasons for buying a viper are cause it's fast and cause it's powerful

the corvette zr1 is a good car not only because it's very fast and poewrful, but also because it's comfortable and it has standard features (more than the viper): air conditioning w/dual-zone climate controls, interior air filter, leather upholstery, 8-way power front seats, tilt/telescopic leather-wrapped steering wheel w/radio controls, 6-disc CD changer, and memory system.

[jacknocf]

well to give the viper that stuff would be selling out its like put the engine in the middle of the vet its not a true vet then same thing with the viper its appeal is its lack of funny as it sounds its about being hard core and raw while the vet is about fast and usable the viper is the modern shelby king of testosterone the viper lets u know ur still that bad ass kid yes vet is usable and what not but it could never make u feel bad ass and thats what the viper is about badassness to the max

[youmils03]

essentially what you're saying is that the corvette zr1 can actually be considered useful, while the viper is just flat out impressive

am i correct?

[jacknocf]

what im saying is that the zr1 is the everyday sports car, something u could actually use for going to work picking up some milk and small trips to the store, the viper is not that useful. i admit the viper is not for everyday use i dont think u could use it too much, but that's its charm. its something u use on special occasions. like that one leather jacket u only bring it out for a party or to give that extra feel good thing, the zr1 looses in this aspect while the viper looses on the other

[youmils03]

well you might be forgetting the fact that the zr1 isn't much more useful than the viper

if you have to cars at home, a corvette zr1 and an audi q7, you'd probably take the audi q7 shopping just because it's very roomy and quite luxurious

[jacknocf]

actually the Zr1 is allot more useful, as u said before the Zr1 has all these options, the options r there for making the car more friendly on commutes, the viper has nothing to make it more comfortable besides a radio and decent seats. of course owning these cars ur gonna need another for realistic every day use but a Zr1 doesnt have an issue being used thru towns everyday but if u do that with a viper u could come across a few problems.

[youmils03]

actually those amenities i listed are standard on the zr1 but whatever

the viper is less expensive (by about $20,000, give or take $2,000) but the corvette zr1 is more luxurious.. and you're right.. the zr1 is a little more reliable. so which is the better car? if you had $120,000 and you had to buy one of those two cars, which would you pick?

i'd take a viper and then spend $35,000 on luxury options - keyless start, massaging seats, rearview camera, night vision, navigation system, everything

[jacknocf]

im a viper person my self, something about 600hp and a v10 makes my leg shake and makes me think im gonna be rapped around a tree, but thats just me lol

[youmils03]

explain your obscure reasoning lol

[jacknocf]

this world is all about being tame calm never letting u true self out, half to be nice to the boss, half to be nice to the family, and our cars show that too. all these econo boxes most of our cars today have too much restraint with governors and what not. But the viper doesn't have any of this, no driver aids, or sacrificing style for comfort. the viper is a big middle finger to all the car companies and green people out there, it doesn't care if u don't like it, the basic viper never changes

[youmils03]

hey the corvette zr1 has better engineering but don't assume that the zr1 has significantly better fuel economy.. i bet it's pretty close

the viper has better handling but the zr1 has more standard features... done

[jacknocf]

ur missing the big picture. the Viper is raw. its raw steak with raw bacon and eggs next to it. its over the top style with over the top engine and no safety besides a belt and a ballon. the zr1 is not as raw. the zr1 is not really over the top it has a nice engine but its not ridiculous and the viper is just too crazy for its own good, like a shelby cobra

[youmils03]

yea you have a good point

[TheNewMrCool]

It doesn't really matter which is more capable every day. Only an idiot would use either every day.

The ZR1 is more about grand touring with almost unrivaled performance. The SRT10 is more of a track car.

[VETTEFREAK101]

The Viper is pathetic compared to the Corvette ZR1... although it's a nice car, it is made up of cheap materials, lacks many options and loses to the corvette instantaneously in the exterior and interior department also the engine department of the ZR1 destroys the viper. The viper is all hype, the corvette is where it's at!

[wrathguard]

The srt/10 is not meant to go against the ZR-1... It is meant to go against the Z06. The ACR is meant to go against the ZR-1. As far as "pathetic" You clearly has not seen the ACR... It now holds the record for the fastest lap for stock cars on the nuburing!

It beats the ZR-1... by very little however. But none the less it still beats it.

[MarshallTK]

@wrathguard How does the Normal SRT10 not go against the ZR1?

The SRT10 Blows the ZR1 out of the water up to 180 mph. It even beats it in the mile.

[wrathguard]

@MarshallTK  I was not talking about straight line performance, I am talking about all around.

[MarshallTK]

@wrathguard Oh, yea then the ZR1 edges off.

I just dont understand Dodges motives with the Viper sometimes.

[spartenkiller456]

@wrathguard dude it beat it by 4 hole seconds in a time trial that crazy, formula one teams say it usually takes 2 million quid to shave 2 seconds of your lap time thats the equalivent of 4.8 million us dollers worth of engineering more then the corvette and you can buy one for less money and for the record that means that the nurdburgrings top 2 fastest lap times belong to american cars so fuck you everybody else, we may not be the best but we are the fastest 5 percent of the world

[thevettedude66]

@spartenkiller456 it also had alot better tires the zr1 run 7.22 with shitty run flats

[MrDaBassMan]

@spartenkiller456 Don't forget the Ford GT too which hold the fastest standing mile record at 253MPH I believe.

[jacknocf]

well actual funny thing about the engine

ZR1 is recorded to have 549hp at the wheels

while 08 SRT10 has been recorded at 546hp at the wheels.

exterior is all in taste of who likes what, and every professional car review company have said both viper and vett have cheap flimsy interior. im just going by facts and the viper as i say above is not about options its about raw power something a vett just doesnt have. something old school about it, thats its appeal. but both cars r good for its purpose

[shadowracer18]

shit all that power,, v-10 engine 600 ponies under the hood what else can i esk for. i love the viper srt 10

[12valvepower1]

audi r8 v12 tdi

[12valvepower1]

i want the audi r8 v12 tdi.

[youmils03]

me too. it's gonna be $300,000, but it'll sure as hell be worth it
