Dodge Viper SRT10 GEN IV
Bold. Innovative. Powerful. Brash. The Dodge Viper symbolizes the pinnacle of performance and style—the point where lavish good-looks meet unabashed American muscle. The ultimate combination of engineering prowess, aesthetic vision and courageous design. The Viper is equal parts beauty and beast, muscular, untamed, a predator in its natural habitat. The Dodge Viper is truly an American icon.
Viper SRT10 Technologies
Awe-Inspiring Powertrain
An 8.4-liter V-10 engine with an awe-inspiring 600 horsepower and 560 lb.-ft. of torque generates enough power to light up a small city—or one hellacious sports car. To control that massive output, Viper channels everything through a ZF Sachs® twin-disc clutch that reduces clutch-pedal effort and improves engagement. And to unleash all that force, a Tremec® heavy-duty, six-speed, manual transmission drives 345/30x19-inch rear tires, propelling the Viper past the competition.

I skipped my high school graduation to attend the inaugural Detroit Grand Prix in 1982!
My passion lies with racing, but more specifically pace cars.
From the very first concept I saw of the Dodge Viper, I was determined to own one. When we built our house, I insisted upon making sure there was a parking space specifically for a Viper.
