Overview

The 2015 Dodge Viper Coupe makes for an excellent contender in the compact coupe. With 4 trims on offer, the Dodge Viper has a base MSRP of $84,995, with prices going all the way up to MSRP $107,995, competing directly with the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Coupe and the Jaguar F-Type R. Only an 8.4L V10 engine is offered, mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. Together, they produce 645 horsepower and 600 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 3.3 seconds, the Viper maintains a combined fuel economy of 15 MPG. Dodge offers the Viper in 8 stunning colors, with the Venom Black Clearcoat being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

The 2015 Dodge Viper Coupe is an overwhelmingly powerful car in its segment. There are multiple trims on offer and we recommend getting the GT trim that offers stronger brakes and an upgraded suspension for an even more engaging driving experience.
