Man, and here we thought that the 600-horse Bentley Continental GT Speed was a bargain at $199K. Dragtimes.com has reportedly obtained the pricing info for the revamped, more powerful 2008 Dodge Viper. The news is good, as The New Chrysler's flagship tire-melter will start at just $83,145 for the Viper SRT10 Roadster. Want the coupe? Pony up a little more: $83,895. Bang-for-the-buck, thy name is Viper.

WOW! Thats impressive. They are stepping up to do work on the z06 and gt500 now.

 

Yoiks. Now that's one angry cheese grater.

Hmm.... to upgrade or not to upgrade...

 

resale values on 06's are plummetting as we speak.....the increase from 06-08 was 300 bucks or so....now who is going to want an underpowered 03,04,05 or 06 with the 08 putting up these numbers....

glad i sold my last vipe last oct

 

they featured it in motortrend a month or two back.. seems very cool im waiting to see more reviews.. I still LOVE the design of them

 

I think I still like the old body style better, but 600 factory HP is OK in my book!

 

I would say the Z06 and Ford GT, the gt500 is a piece of .....

 

It certainly is a great time to be a car enthusiast! So many great choices.

 

I would honestly take a GTS over the nwer vipers anyday.

 

One of my autocrossing buddies tried a protoytpe of that car at the Chrysler proving grounds and it was FAST and he was amazed it could put down all that power even in 1st gear. What a deal. But I just got my viper 3 days ago so I'm set for a while

 

I wonder if this will influence Chevy's decision on the price of the new Z07/Blue Devil

 

I owned 2 previous gen Vipers and one thing I wish they will improve on this one is the handlings.

 

Could you elaborate on this?

I was under the impression that the viper was an extremely good handling car when on the track, however, it has a steep learning curve. Is this somewhat in line with what you have experienced?

 

I am so over this vehicle. I don't even give them a 2nd glance anymore when I see them on the road. 500, 600hp... 1000hp twinturbo.... blah. Same with the corvette.

 

Why the hell are you even in the American Muscle section Ms. Prius/Saab driver?
