The brutish Viper is a better behaved beast now that it has antilock brakes.
Pros
Exotic-car performance, imposing looks, value-priced.
Cons
Lack of refinement, low-tech design, easy to spin.
What's New for 2001
Slightly refining the snake's venomous bite are standard four-wheel disc ABS, an ACR option group with air conditioning and a CD player, and an internal trunk. New Race Yellow or Deep Sapphire Blue exterior hues are offered.

2001 Dodge Viper Delete ACR 2dr Coupe (8.0L 10cyl 6M)
Review
I knew what I was getting when I bought it. For those of you who want a Vette don't buy a Viper. This car is fast, rude and no it doesn't get good gas mileage. I thank god for all of it. It's worth putting gas in every few miles. The looks on peoples faces are worth an academy award. The Corvettes I've owned would hide in the corner when this car goes by. I am highly pleased with this beast. The gts-r wing and ground effects makes this ACR look like a hot wheels car. So if you are man or woman enough, buy one, and don't whine about the gas mileage or ride. My wife loves it.

2001 Dodge Viper GTS 2dr Coupe (8.0L 10cyl 6M)
Review
I find my Viper to be the perfect cure for today's cookie cutter vehicles. The exterior design is as elegant as it is outrageous. More car companies should be so bold as to take such a chance on applying creative design elements. That said, the interior pays a slight price for maintaining the aggressive outer appearance. The drivers footwell is perticularly tight. A small price to pay considering a quick stab at the throttle forgives all.
Favorite Features
Did I mention the torque monster motor!
Suggested Improvements
Adjustable suspension settings, More straight line stability through adding more possitive caster angle to factory specs. Better heat protection. Longer wheelbase to smooth out expansion joints in roads.

2001 Dodge Viper RT/10 2dr Roadster (8.0L 10cyl 6M)
Review
love this vehicle,so does the rest of the world.? else compares?The most bang for the buck re; pricier sports cars and its American.I don't expect it to be a Cadillac Fleetwood 4dr as far as comfort goes.Anyone must realize that before purchasing,I hope.one should not expect it to be a Honda Accord when it comes to service or reliability issues either.I believe all citizens should be provided one through a constitutional amendment.I would never pay more for an import that has less visual impact and weak performance,just because it's made in Germany or wherever.And I'm of Bavarian descent.USA all the way baby!What a car the RT/10 is.Impress yourself!!I want a GTS/ACR too!!

Review
Bought my car 4/02. Took 3 months to wipe the grin off my face. By 9/02 it had been in the shop more than 30 days, and I've now filed for the lemon law. Build quality and comfort are atrocious, but I still love driving it every now and again. Loved owning it, can't wait to get rid of it.
Favorite Features
Engine, styling.
Suggested Improvements
Comfort level of at least a corvette.
a rush to your senses

Review
Only thing you can say is WOW! What a RUSH! and with all that power very easy to drive. Only thing to worry about is the other cars straining for a closer look (and wanting you to get on it) And the feeling of supremacy knowing only those that pass you are doing so only because you let them.
Favorite Features
Handling, but above all the Power is Awesome, and tintlizing,with a race car feel that no other production car can exert. And girls love them
