Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Neck-straining acceleration, race car caliber brakes, track-ready suspension, decent ergonomics for a supercar, exclusivity of limited production.
Cons
- No traction control or side airbags, too extreme for a daily driver, awkward shifter, exploiting its capabilities requires elevated driver skills.
What’s new
After last year's complete redesign, the Viper sees only detail changes for '04 that include a new color called "Viper White," racy red brake calipers, carpeting for the trunk and a folding tonneau cover.
Edmunds says
Still the king of speed, the Viper has softened some of its rough edges but lost none of its unique character in the process.

Nothing but smiles every time I drive it
Wayne, 01/01/2009
2004 Dodge Viper SRT-10 2dr Roadster (8.3L 10cyl 6M)
The car is raw and does what it is designed for and that is go fast, turn fast, and stop fast. You must add Corsa catless track exhaust to get ride of the horrible UPS truck sound the factory exhaust makes and it frees up 40hp and get rid of all the drivers compartment and side sill heat problems. I have already modded mine to 600bhp 650tq and not ready to quit yet. Be forewarned once … you buy a Viper the spending has just begun, The performance bug will hit and the viper tax is high when it come to viper performance parts, but worth it trust me. I could easily use mine as daily driver if I wanted to but its not a benz. Oh, best mod is MGW shorty shifter with low profile bezel.

HAS500HP

2004 Dodge Viper SRT-10 2dr Roadster (8.3L 10cyl 6M)
I have to say that I was a little
apprehensive about the new design. The
original Viper design was a classic
that will last forever. But after
owning the new SRT-10 for about 8
months now, the design has grown on me
and I like it more and more each day.
Now for the good stuff. 500hp. What
else can be said?? This car is a rocket
on wheels. Big wheels. The performance …
is simply astonishing. The full
potential of this car can only be
reached on the racetrack. The handling
is much better than the original. The
interior is finally worthy of the
price. All in all, Dodge has done a
great job.

2004 Dodge Viper SRT-10 2dr Roadster (8.3L 10cyl 6M)
I've had my all black Viper for almost a year now--just about at 10K miles. Performance is as expected-- unbelievable. I find it very comfortable as an everyday car but superb out on the road. My only complaints are how hot it gets once the engine is warm, particularly in traffic, and the poor gas mileage (but I expected that with this engine). It's not easy to fit in a tall … passenger either, but at my height I'm very comfortable, and the driver's seat just hugs one. Acceleration is far and away the best I've driven, better than BMWs, Porsches, Vettes. I test drove everything except Ferraris and Lamborghinis and chose the Viper, and I'm still happy with it.

One test drive in this car, and I was
sold. Love it.
