South Chicago Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram

Yep, that's all it takes. And no, we're not kidding. The 8.4-liter V10 engine delivers 0-60 mph acceleration in less than four seconds. Or, just about the same time it'll take you to catch your breath.

Viper's six-speed manual transmission features 10-percent wider gears that increase shift quality and torque capacity to handle a whopping 560 lb-ft of torque. A sleek leather-wrapped ball shifter makes the connection while the twin-disc clutch brings reduced clutch-pedal effort and an improved engagement feel.

Own the road at every turn. Both the coupe and roadster have been designed with stability in mind. Viper's race-bred, fully independent, four-wheel suspension features:

• Lightweight, high-performance aluminum control arms and knuckles
• Lightweight coil-over shock absorbers
• Strong GKN Visco-Lok® limited-slip rear differentials for exceptional power and torque balance.

Viper's wide stance and low center of gravity offer solid footing for a tighter drive. The roadster's sturdy structure is designed to deliver coupe-like rigidity without a top, and the coupe offers unrivaled stability with the double-bubble roof. Either way, you get 1.05g of taut handling on the road or on the track.
