Raw!
2 decades later and this car is still a rock star! Without a doubt, one of the most underrated and underpriced supercars out there. Edmunds value calculator estimates at $25k. LOL. Going rate for a 20k mile Blue and White GTS is almost double that which is less than 50% depreciation rate in all these years. Great resale value! Forget about the overpriced GTRs, Lambos, etc which will not be as timeless of a design as this Viper. Would you really think a GTR was cool if it wasn't as fast as it is. Lambos would still be cool even if they were slow but one would think it was way faster than it was for the money. With the forged internals, in this particular model Viper, there's endless amounts of horsepower available with adding turbos and superchargers while costing tens and thousands dollars less. I purchased this vehicle to enjoy for myself then realized how much attention and admirers it still gets whereever it's driven. Dodge essentially put a race car on the road and included it with only the essentials. The A/C and power windows were just an added bonus. I rated the survey as well as I did because when you purchase a car like this, gas mileage, luxury, spa comfort is not a concern. The icing is, values will only continue to increase while expressing being proud to be an American!

Faster than I expected
The car will rip the road out from under you if you don't respect it. It is so responsive it is hard to drive at first. It is hard not to push down on the pedal and let it rip. You do not have to race anyone to prove anything, the car is fast and they all know it. After owing my Viper for five years it is still a thrill to drive. It feels good to even wax it and see the body lines and stripes glisten in the garage lighting.

LETS GET IT ON!ooofa,ooofa,KABLAM!
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!!
a rush to your senses
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.
The good, bad, and ugly.
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.
One of the best cars out there!
This car is the ipitimy of the cars on the road, short of modern Ferrari's and Lamborghini of course. But how many of these cars are on the road though. The Viper is the same, with only roughly 1500 units a year. But this car is a blast to drive. And you can leave for a short trip in it without someone yelling or almost breaking their necks to get another look. Contrary to magazine reviews, this car is quite confortable as a daily driver and a very easy car to drive.
Still the most desired car I've ever wanted.
I've been dreaming of owning this car since it came out when I was in high school. Back then I had a Dodge Stealth RT/TT. This is truly a timeless classic car that did not disappoint. After a few hundred miles it's an absolute monster. Its brutal clutch pedal, brakes, runs hot, hates going slow, traffic or around stop and go town/city driving. It's a lot to handle on the street but its everything i expected it to be. Buying a 22 year old Dodge will have its problems. rubbers are worn. Plastics will fail and some maintenance will be required. But fear not the Viper community knows how to keep these snakes in top running order and most maintenance can be done yourself with some DIY videos. Highly recommend owning this timeliness piece of American automotive history. I plan on keeping this car for a long time. Yes its dangerous and my advice is to get new tires and stickier the better. I went with Nitto NT555r2 drag radials on rears. They hook like crazy when warm.
