The year 2013 marked the return of the Dodge--excuse us, the SRT--Viper. Whatever its brand name may be, we're happy to live in a world in which a car can head to market with an 8.4-liter V-10 engine that produces 640 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque. The Viper has already earned its place...

If you're in the market for a 2014 Dodge SRT Viper, be prepared to dig a little deeper. Prices for the V-10-powered supercar are on the rise. The 2014 SRT Viper’s base price is now $101,309, including destination, which equates to a rise of $1,919 on last year’s model. Both prices...

SRT’s ultimate Dodge Challenger has been spotted for the first time, testing in prototype form in the harsh conditions of California’s Death Valley. The car is believed to be packing a new supercharged version of Chrysler’s HEMI V-8, code-named the Hellcat, and has been billed by...

Here's what the drivers learned from this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans race.

Rumors of the Dodge brand's death are greatly exaggerated, according to SRT boss Ralph Gilles--but that doesn't mean the brand won't undergo some "focusing." That's what we can extract from Gilles' Instagram posting (via Autoblog) last week. Responding to questions about the rumors of the Dodge...

You can now order a special race-ready version of the 2013 SRT Viper.

Another day, another hugely powerful car is presented on the Internet. We've seen plenty of dyno shenanigans as of late, including a Camaro blowing its tires and a Shelby GT500 blowing up a dyno. Those were powerful cars for sure. The Camaro owner states that the car has about 1,800 horsepower and...

The SRT brand is yet to announce sales of its Viper in Europe but fans of the iconic American supercar on the other side of the pond will soon be able to start ordering the cars. German tuner and importer of American muscle Geiger Cars has confirmed it will start selling the Viper as a gray import...

Having dominated the GTS class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans for three consecutive years between 1998 and 2000, the Dodge Viper has been noticeably absent from the event for the past decade. That’s all about to change, as the Viper in its latest iteration, now badged an SRT, will be returning to...

A couple of years ago, we brought you news that Chrysler was planning a supercharged HEMI V-8 engine to lift the performance of its SRT models closer in line with rivals from Chevrolet and Ford. While we’re yet to see such an engine from Chrysler, news of the supercharged HEMI’s...

The Dodge Viper (current SRT Viper preliminarily excluded) is a wild beast of a machine that demands serious attention from the person driving it. It's a high-strung super sports car that enjoys running on the ragged edge. For the 2005-2006 model, that ragged edge might come at a lower limit than...

A 2013 SRT Viper recently covered the quarter mile in 11.1 seconds at 127.4 mph.

SRT’s latest track weapon, the 2014 Viper TA, made its world debut last month at the 2013 New York Auto Show. Since then the car has continued to be fine-tuned at race tracks all across the country, including at Laguna Seca Raceway in California where this video was filmed. The video comes to...

A new season of the Global RallyCross Championship starts this month, and returning for another year of competition is Dodge, together with star driver Travis Pastrana. Pastrana will once again be piloting a specially prepared Dodge Dart rally car built by SRT Motorsports, of which two examples...

All proceeds from the sale of Sergio Marchionne’s Dodge Challenger SRT8 will be donated to the United Way of America charity.

Right now, the most hardcore Challenger is the SRT8 392, which puts out 470 horsepower and happily runs the quarter mile in the mid-twelves--figures comparable with rivals from Ford and Chevrolet. Take it out on the track, however, and its approximate 4,100-pound curb weight means the Challenger...

Chevrolet’s Corvette won the first battle of a war that we’re sure will ensue for many years to come, and that’s the track lap time feud between the bowtie-badged sports car and the new Viper from the SRT camp. SRT has since retaliated with its 2014 Viper TA, where the TA stands...

In the old days, SUVs were crude, truck-derived vehicles, purchased by those with a need to go where the busses don’t run, or a need to get from point A to point B regardless of weather. Families bought station wagons, or later, minivans. Then the SUV and crossover craze hit, and suddenly...
