Z06 - 3,132 pounds
SRT-10 (coupe) - 3,445 pounds]]>Oct 24th 2007 11:45PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/24/2008-dodge-viper-srt10-production-underway/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/24/2008-dodge-viper-srt10-production-underway/Oct 24th 2007 4:03PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/24/2008-dodge-viper-srt10-production-underway/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/24/2008-dodge-viper-srt10-production-underway/
These people should just stick to Lexus/AMG/Audi, but some don't, and then they start to complain. Look at what happened to Honda and the S2000 over its 7 year lifespan. The suspension has softened, its oversteer quality muzzled, traction control has been added, the soft top is heavier, the steering ratio is lower, it's quieter, and they added an extra cupholder. All anathema to the hardcore track enthusiast, but thumbs up for the bigger, less-hardcore sporty crowd. But that's just the way it is.

Anyway, the interior on the viper is functional, and that's all that matters in this kind of machine.]]>Oct 24th 2007 5:01PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/24/2008-dodge-viper-srt10-production-underway/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/24/2008-dodge-viper-srt10-production-underway/Oct 24th 2007 4:07PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/24/2008-dodge-viper-srt10-production-underway/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/24/2008-dodge-viper-srt10-production-underway/
The radio and AC panel is from '02 Caravan - basic edition (recognize because I had one). The rest is from the stripped down PT Cruiser.

Innovation in its best.]]>Oct 24th 2007 4:07PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/24/2008-dodge-viper-srt10-production-underway/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/24/2008-dodge-viper-srt10-production-underway/Oct 24th 2007 6:29PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/24/2008-dodge-viper-srt10-production-underway/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/24/2008-dodge-viper-srt10-production-underway/

However, considering Chrysler's current situation, beggers can't be choosers. They are not Ferrari... they might actually need those poseur to stay afloat]]>Oct 24th 2007 4:50PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/24/2008-dodge-viper-srt10-production-underway/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/24/2008-dodge-viper-srt10-production-underway/
Having also spent some time driving the SRT vehicles that have been introduced since then, since SRT became a trim level for other Dodge vehicles rather than an entirely separate vehicle, I can say that this has obviously changed. While most of the others are very powerful and even have good roadholding ability, they are not true sports cars. You can't even buy them without a slushbox. At this point calling those vehicles "sports cars" is more marketing than it is truth.

The Viper, of course, is still the exception.]]>Oct 24th 2007 4:58PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/24/2008-dodge-viper-srt10-production-underway/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/24/2008-dodge-viper-srt10-production-underway/
What is kind of interesting is that I have seen FIVE Vipers in the last week. One of them was a late model last gen. I had an 06 pull up next to me on Friday and the driver took off with the pedal to the floor and it honestly sounded like there was a war going on. The Viper V-10 sounds horrible but for some reason, at the same time, it sounds beautiful.]]>Oct 24th 2007 5:54PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/24/2008-dodge-viper-srt10-production-underway/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/24/2008-dodge-viper-srt10-production-underway/>> The "big snake" looks good in green.
