The feud between the Corvette and the Viper isn't new. Owners and fans have gotten into enough forum flame wars to burn down half the galaxy. But it's rare that the manufacturers get so directly involved as in the case of the 2014 SRT Viper TA. As you may know, the Viper TA was essentially built as...

The last Dodge Viper ACR (for American Club Racing) rolled off the assembly line in 2010, boasting the same 600 horsepower and 560 pound-feet of torque from its V-10 engine as standard Viper models.

For three consecutive years, from 1998 through 2000, Dodge Vipers took both first and second place in the GTS class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. It’s fitting, then, that the new SRT Viper GTS-R will compete in this year’s running of the famed endurance race. SRT Motorsports has been...

Production of the 2013 SRT Viper can be seen taking place at Chrysler’s Conner Avenue Assembly plant.

The 2013 SRT Viper has officially entered production. The rest of the supercar world is on notice--at least when it comes to lap times.

If you needed more proof that Ralph Gilles, head of Chrysler’s SRT division, is a car-guy’s car guy, the above picture should go a long way towards settling the argument. Last Tuesday, Gilles joined the crew at the Conner Avenue Assembly Plant to help build a 2013 Dodge Viper. While...

The Corvette ZR1 was introduced for the 2009 model year as a take-no-prisoners attempt to build the fastest production Corvette in Chevrolet’s history. As the C6 Corvette approaches its extinction, time is running out for the ZR1, but that doesn’t mean the car is going quietly into that...

The 2013 SRT Viper is up for our Best Car To Buy award, but can its on-track performance outweigh its slightly crude road manners?

Today we tell you what it’s like to drive the all-new 2013 Dodge SRT Viper on the street and on the track. Though equipped with modern concessions to safety like electronic stability control, the new Viper is hardly what we’d call de-fanged. The list of Best Car To Buy candidates is...

Bobbing and weaving through the vineyard-dotted hill country around Napa, windows down on a perfect fall day, the sun settling just behind the nearest ridge, a massive 8.4-liter, 640-horsepower V-10 growling out an atonal bass note to complement the music flooding out of the stereo, it's easy to...

Production of the new 2013 SRT Viper begins next month, but Mopar isn't holding back as it's already announced performance parts and accessories for the new snake. The new parts range from performance enhancing upgrades to pure customization accessories. Want to make your new Viper sound even...

John Hennessey is returning to the performance package and car that helped put his name on the map, albeit some of that fame came for not entirely positive reasons. The car, of course, is the Viper, which is now branded an SRT, while the performance package is Hennessey’s Venom 1000 upgrade...

SRT released pricing and build configuration information for the 2013 Viper, and there's no question that most of these snakes will be unique. There are nearly 150,000 different ways to configure the new Viper, from wheels to interior, everything is an option. In the end, you won't get your new...

GM’s OnStar may have been the first to offer drivers a panic button and a help button for on-the-road emergencies or questions, but in the years since OnStar’s launch the technology has become widespread. Today, help buttons are offered in telematics systems from Hyundai (Blue Link)...

The 2013 SRT Viper (nee Dodge Viper) has been priced, and it runs from just under $100,000 to about $123,000. Is that a fair price range for a 640-horsepower American supercar? Some guy crashed a Lamborghini Aventador in the Czech Republic. It doesn't look like it will recover. The 2014 Nissan GT-R...

The 2013 SRT Viper isn't hitting dealers showrooms or customer driveways just yet, and only a handful of people outside of Chrysler have even driven it, but SRT has just released official pricing information: the new Viper starts from $97,395.

If you want to race an SRT Viper GTS-R in competition, your options are somewhat limited. One way is to prove that you’re significantly faster around a race track than Jonathan Bomarito, Ryan Hunter-Reay, Dominik Farnbacher, Marc Goosens, Tommy Kendall and Kuno Wittmer, then show up in the...
