  • Car of my dreams - 2005 Dodge Viper
    By -

    The most fun car Ive ever owned. I had a 2000 Corvette coupe and a 2002 Zo6 Vette.Both were great cars but felt like any normal car. The Viper give me the excitment and fun I was looking for! To drive this car makes you feel alive.This is a car that you have to drive and control. The power and acceleration reminds me of taking off on a jet airliner!

    This is an affordable exotic car. More power than you will ever know what to do with. So far, Ive had no troubles with the vehicle. It is truly a pleasure to drive, and will get you noticed everywhere you go.

    This is my second Viper. I had a 2002, the older body style convertible RT/10. Although I loved the 2002, the new Viper SRT/10 has some significant improvements, particularly in the exterior design and the interior. Performance, as with the 2002, is spine tingling.

  • Itll knock your socks off! - 2005 Dodge Viper
    By -

    Being a former Vette owner let me tell you there is NO comparison. This is a street legal race-car, period. Whether youre hunting TT Porsches, 360s or whatever, this car will easily even out the playing field. You want comfort? Buy a Caddy. If you want to make old ladies dive for the emergency lane as you pass at 65mph still in 1st gear, buy the Viper. This car may not be the fastest, quickest or slickest but it sure does rank high in all of those categories! How many other bone- stock American made cars will hit 160mph in 4th -- in less than a half- mile? I love my Bright Silver Metallic Viper SRT-10! (my wife hates it...jealousy!)

    Driving the Viper is an absolutely incomparable inxperience. Nothing close to this price range is even remotely as gorgeous or as much fun to drive. Power and performance are unmatched. The amount of attention you get everywhere you take this car is unbelievable. Short of dropping a quarter million dollars on Lamborghini, Ferrari or some other hyper-exotic, there is nothing at all like this. The $80,000 price tag is a steal considering the power, performance and looks of this car. Plus the Viper name is legendary. Mustangs and Corvettes are ubiquitous, nobody cares when they see those. The cars touchy handling and huge noisy engine arent for everyone, but I love everything about it.

  • Americas Supercar - 2005 Dodge Viper
    By -

    Say what you wish but this is the second Viper Roadster I have owned and I cannot wait to drive the car whenever I can (which is never often enough). It has astounding adrenalin dripping acceleration, with much improved handling over previous models. Seat to wheel to pedal reach is now so much better and much more comfortable also. Biggest problem I find is that you cannot take it anywhere (i.e. when you go to a nice restaurant etc.) as it atttacts so many people and unfortunately there are very few people today who have respect for others property so they tend to climb all over it with greasy hands and zippered clothing etc. Enough said, save what you can and go buy one, new or used. Enjoy.

  • SRT-10 Review - 2005 Dodge Viper
    By -

    Purchased used at a local Ferrari Dealership. It is a very fast car but with the gas prices continuing to go up and that I can only use premium gas, Im not sure how long I will have this car. The SRT-10 really drinks the gas up. But nevertheless it is a fast car. Comfort is ok but not very during long rides. Handling needs improvement.

  • Fast Fun - 2005 Dodge Viper

    This car from the factory is quite fast. If you can get ahold of John Hennessey itll become one of the fastest street cars around. Take a look at the optional Venom 1000 package he offers for even more excitement.

  • The Truth - 2005 Dodge Viper
    By -

    The car is very fun to drive,very beautiful to look at,but it is scary to drive in higher speeds because it is very jumpy and not smooth.It has virtually no electronic items in the car,not even cruise control or any other modern electronic options. It is truly an american muscle car and nothing else
