America's Most Muscular Muscle Car Goes Back To The Gym

Performance
American muscle cars have a long history of popularity and dependability. When we think muscle car, we thing big powerful and thirsty, but here we will approach these cars differently through the new Viper. None is more outlandish, more visible or more muscular than the Dodge Viper. Thanks to its 10 cylinder engine, the car has ample power for every situation. The engine displaces 8.4 litres and gets 13 miles to each gallon in the city, but 22 miles per gallon on the highway. Clearly not for the faint of heart, the Viper is at home on the open road and will eat up the scenery fast. All that gas does get you going though and 60 miles per hour shows up in less than 4 seconds as the car will hit a top speed of 198 miles per hour.
Comfort and Driveability
In every sense, the Dodge Viper is not a comfortable car. The huge truck-based engine is loud and throaty. When the top is down, there is enough noise entering the car. The seats, however, are quite comfortable and the car itself has a good and solid feel. There are two seats and trunk space is ample for a weekend worth of luggage and even a couple of golf bags. Power goes to the rear wheels through a double clutch manual transmission. The double clutch ensures that the shifts are precise and easy on the foot. The car is very easy to drive thanks to this modification. However, with 600 horsepower on tap, it is very easy to spin those rear tyres and get out of control.
Some owners have accidents and used parts are available easily. A used Viper engine is very expensive so be careful with this magnificent V10. Thankfully, traction control is there as well as anti-lock brakes. These will sucessfully help keep you on the road in most situations. The pedal has a firm enough feel without being tough. The overall size of the car is pretty large. It is 76 inches wide and 176 inches long. the overall height is 48 inches. These specifications will have the car fit neatly inside any garage.
Ownership
Sports cars are still popular. The Viper and its amazing engine and chassis are a thrill to own and reward the driver with every turn and every stab at the throttle. The rear glass on the soft top is made of glass and the whole roof is tight and well put together keeping out all the elements. The base model is now $91,000 and there is quite a bit included for the money as all the stability mods are there. The car wears 335/40/19 tyres and the grip is amazing.
Final Words
The muscle car lives in the bloodline of the Dodge Viper and consistently makes it known that America's favourite car is still loved and cherished. Because it continues in the lineage, the Viper succeeds with little effort as the stallion of the muscle car heap.
