The 2017 model year is the last for the Dodge Viper but it still represents a good choice if you’re looking for something wild.

5 reasons to buy the 2017 Dodge Viper SRT
1. Sports car performance
With a zero-to-60 time around the mid-three-second mark, the 2017 Dodge Viper SRT is bound to put a smile on your face. With stiff suspension, this car isn’t just good in a straight line, either. The exceptional handling means you’ll enjoy carving up country lanes or heading to the race track. All 645 horsepower from the V10 is routed through the back wheels, making for a very enjoyable driving experience.
2. Simple pleasures
While the interior of the 2017 Viper SRT isn’t completely spartan, there’s a distinct minimalist feel to it. This helps keep the weight down and improve performance but you’ll still get keyless ignition, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and Dodge’s fantastic Uconnect® infotainment system. If you don’t fancy the roar of the V10 to soundtrack your drive, you can take advantage of Bluetooth® connectivity and the 12-speaker Harmon Karon® sound system.
3. Fearsome engine
The 8.4L V10 engine really makes the Viper SRT sing with 645 horsepower and 600 lb-ft of torque. You get a six-speed manual transmission, which gives you control over all that power. This level of performance is what makes the 2017 Dodge Viper so appealing and you’ll love how it sounds each time you put your foot down.
4. Engaging driving experience
The 2017 Dodge Viper SRT isn’t just fast. Many sports cars boast big numbers and are fantastic in a straight line but the Dodge wins all around with impeccable handling. It’s not the easiest car to drive as you have to wrangle all that power, putting it down and easing off just the right amount for maximum grip through every corner. But this is what makes it such a wonderful thing to drive. It’s not a computer-controlled hypercar, it takes things back to basics with pure power.
5. Weekend thrills
While the stiff suspension might start to get a little uncomfortable for long drives, the 2017 Dodge Viper SRT makes up for it in driving enjoyment. If you want weekend thrills, you’ll enjoy the sound system and standard navigation. You also have plenty of room in the cabin so if you or your passenger are over six feet, you can still enjoy the ride.
