@Dillon I disagree, ZR1 looks meaner. But you're also comparing different generations, wait until the C7 ZR1 before you comment, but this car would look amazing in yellow with black wheels.(: I respect the viper, it's the only car similar to Corvette
I think it's absolutely gorgeous .. I just hope American cars grow out of chrome and go for brushed stainless steel or aluminium .. Never the less .. 10/10 on madness :)
@Matt, I agree about the headlights. I was expecting them to be more like the BRZ/fr-s style, cutting sharply towards the center of the front bumper. Still a beautiful car, can't wait to see it in person.
It's not bad... But idk, there's something odd about the angle that the lights are on, I think they should b angrier if ya know what I mean
Description: Set to retail for about $135,000, the $300,000 bid was quite generous. For the first model, however, it could be seen as a win-win for both the new owner and the Austin Hatcher Foundation for Pediatri...

This thing has 355's in the back, a practically mid-mounted engine, and good weight distribution. It should have plenty of grip if you drive it correctly.
That's a good thing tho, at least for Chrysler it is from a buisness stand point, and those thing were gonna be mandatory anyway
its not refined they just added electronic aids, turn them off and its still the exact same car that tries to kill u at every turn
I think I can finally say that I really want this Viper, others were to crude and hard to live with, but this is so refined and well done. I really hope the Corvette C7 can combat this, but until then...
@Extremes This ain't your ordinary Muscle Car it's a full blown Super Car!
I must say it's growing on me, as when I saw it at first, I hated it... I. Still cant get over tha they ripped off the agera r's headlights but it's still growing on me
That is what I love most about this new viper. It hasn't really changed. It's evolved into a 21st century car without sacrificing fun.
The carbon fibre gives it that much more of a rugged look to the rear, which adds character and I love it.
I like that they stuck with the badge being a taillight. Gives it just that much more character
@Jordan I was thinking the exact same. It looks very similar to the old ones, just evolved
Even tho it's been evolved, from behind, there's no mistaking it, that's a Viper
Haha yeah because you need that when you remember you are sitting in a 640hp viper
Yeah. The UConnect system is freakin awesome too. It's so easy to use and the SRT models come with a lot of extra performance stuff in the system. It's amazing.
love this interior lay out and i wanna hear that radio, harrmon&karrdon in a car gotta sound amazing
Best thing about this car is sitting right in the middle of this picture....the stick!!! Happy to know they still make cars the "old fashion way" lol
*cody Mathews: you do realize the GT500 is supercharged right? Only turbos have lag, SC give instant power since they're belt driven
Oops I mad a mistake GT500 has a little bit more torque, but still throw a huge supercharger on it and I bet you push a lot bigger numbers
If you want the new Viper faster throw a supercharger and turbocharger on it and shut up. Yeah the new 2013 GT500 has more HP but it is supercharged but has less torque. The Viper throws down the most naturally aspirated torque in production today. The new Viper is also lighter and has better handling. Plus you can also tweak the engine to pull out more HP and torque. The Viper would more than lik...
Shane was right tho it was faster to 60 faster around the track and had the same top Speed. The new viper should be even faster!
Didn't state any facts yourself so you I would be quiet if I was you.
@Tin The last gen Viper weighed 400lbs less than the new GT500, it's no slouch when it comes to HP it made 600hp and 560lb/ft of torque, and the suspension isn't from the 60's. It faster to at the 1/4 mile and around the track. I'm sorry Sr. But you
Shane, this you just make that up? Back up what you say with facts. Do not use your opinion as a fact.
Tin the last viper could destroy the new gt500 in every way, and this one is better
300k for a dodge?.... Uhm no
@Tin I understand the money part but reliability? Huh?
I would still take the new gt500 over this because of reliability and the gt500 is at least $40k less than this viper.
@patrick I'm not sure if I can agree with you. I would love to see this against the 2013 gt500.
@Joe the ZR1 laps the nurburgring @ 7:19 and the ZO6 laps it @ 7:24 both without a big wing, but I agree the Enzo was light years ahead of most supercars at the time.
@Shane this is getting all this horse power with out any sort of charging. Means a perfect torque curve. No lagging while waiting for the charger to kick in.
@dustin labit- actually, if it weren't for fiat there would be no new viper. chrysler killed it off and when fiat took the reigns, decided they needed a flagship.
Shane this Viper will still stomp the GT500 in every way.
It "only" runs a 7:24? Lol funny man over here
Surprised they were comfortable with that little horsepower, you would think they don't want this compared to the 2013 Shelby, a mustang, with a lot more horsepower... I know that's just a small factor but on paper it's weird.
If you look at the hypercars of 2002-2004, nothing except maybe a Zonda (which was even more expensive than an Enzo), or the MC12 (basically an Enzo with a different body, smaller top speed but faster in the corners) could beat it around the Ring !
And Ferrari selected the buyers personally. Anybody can buy a vette or a Viper.
@Joe, I like your defense of the Enzo, but they only made 399 of them.
Why "only" 7:25 ? It's not what you can call a bad performance, especially for a car which wasn't equipped with huge spoilers to generate a lot of downforce as the Viper ACR, the Apollo or the LFA Nur Package.
but an enzo still only runs a 7:24 at the 'ring. and yeah its a ferrari, and exclusivity and bragging rights and what not, to me thats an ugly car... now an F40.... thats the real masterpiece...
-> Ashen : of course it did. The Enzo isn't an ordinary Ferrari, just like the F40 or the F50. Only 700 where made, and even if it was released 10 years ago, it's still much quicker than a lot of supercars made nowadays.
@Ashen: It's not THAT amazing that they pulled 600+hp without using FI. They did have over 8 liters of displacement at their disposal after all.
Carbuzz made a funny! It was funny actually...
From my point of view 300k is fair because you have the FIRST viper and all the money goes to a good cause so its a win win.
Enzo gained value
Every thimg loses value after a couple years if you pick up a DuPont registry you can but a aston martin, ferrari, or newer porsche for under 90,000 dollars
The zr1 cost around 120,000 brand new(at least in the USA) which is about what the viper will cost
I dno about u but the viper sold for a 100 000 while the zr1 sold for 180 000 u still have to pay around 70 000 for a 4 year old viper ... And 70 000 for a 4 year old zr1 chevy loses value out of the factory
Naturally aspirated its amazing 600+ bhp
They made srt so fiat couldn't have a say in the viper.
Has dodge basically split up? I have noticed SRT makes their own cars now
Whoever bought this car never thought of it as an investment. If you look at all the vipers from the past they all depreciate (rather quickly) than appreciate. If you buy a zr1 and park it in the garage for 10 yrs I'm sure true value will go up but
Investing $300,000 on Catrinel Menghia is more proper business than a Dodge Viper.
