ProsConsWhat's New

Naturally aspirated V10 is just glorious to hear

No automatic transmission is available for the people gunning for lap times

Completely redesigned for the 2013 model year after a 2-year hiatus

Refined yet a monstrosity of a V10 engine in terms of comfort and sheer performance respectively

Plenty of essential safety features are missing

A muscle car that can handle itself effortlessly well

Overview

The 2013 Dodge Viper coupe makes for an excellent contender in the midsize coupe class. With two trims on offer, it has a base MSRP of $97,395, with prices going all the way up to MSRP $120,395, competing directly with the Porsche 911 Carrera 4S, the Nissan GT-R, and the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 with a V8. Only an 8.4L V10  engine is offered, mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. Together, they produce 640 horsepower and 600 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 3.6 seconds, the Dodge Viper maintains a combined fuel economy of 15 MPG. Dodge offers the Viper in 8 stunning colors, with the Adrenaline Red being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

Inspired by the 2013 Dodge Viper “go big or go home!” vibe we recommend the SRT Viper base coupe trim, it has cruise control, smart device integration, power mirrors, and much more. Not to mention the Advanced aerodynamics package($4,800) which brings a carbon front splitter and carbon spoilers to give it an even more menacing look.
