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.

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.

2001 Dodge Viper RT/10 2dr Roadster (8.0L 10cyl 6M)

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.
