Is the 2006 Dodge Viper SRT10 a BETTER sports car than a Corvette Z06?
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The Viper is an automotive icon from Dodge. 2006 was a big year because it was the return of the coupe since 2002. On the outside you will fin staggered wheels, a functional hood scoop w/ heat extractors, and painted on racing strips. On the inside there is a special two-tone color scheme with all analog gauges. Powering the the Viper is an 8.3L V10 pumping out 510HP & mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox. Is the 2006 Dodge Viper SRT10 a BETTER sports car than a Corvette Z06?

This car is a rolling trash can. Sounds like a stupid boat and for a 8 liter v10, 500hp is a laugh. That thing should be putting out 800hp stock, but dodge is afraid.

The Viper was probably the one car in particular that got me liking muscle cars the first place. As a 10 yr old, it looked very sharp and cool. It still is!

Awesome car, every single gen was epic and this one absolutely looks the part!!! Catching up on the weekend videos here.

We all can pick these vipers up for 50-65k. This dealership is ridiculous. These cars are all low mileage. No one drove or drives these type of cars more than 2-3,000 miles a year on average. Especially if they are owned outside of Texas, California and Florida. My neighbor has a RT10 from 1996. It has 68,000 miles. We’re in NY so he doesn’t take it out of the garage 7 months out of the year. Tell your friends at the dealership they’re lucky there’s still pandemic pricing for cars. ie a 2023 civic type R that sells for 70K. Nice video as always

He’s right about your frontal cortex melting. Bought a gen 1, 1993 after a red eye flight back from Vegas probably still drunk on a whim. Amazing experience but not very functional with no door handles, windows or a roof. I regret selling it though.
That statement you made is so true. Any car show that I have been to with exotics the Viper always seems to get the most attention. When you see it you know it's a Viper.

I just got rid of my 21' Supra a few months ago too buy a 2006 Viper vert. Yes it told a story of when cars didn't feel like rolling computers. It just felt sooo good to drive.
One of the poster cars from my childhood. Hopefully someday I can have to this to go alongside my 78 Lil Red.
Would be real nice to own both the Viper and Z06. But if I had to choose one it would be the Z06. Weighs less, faster quarter, faster 0-60, better interior
