The Dodge Viper is one of those American icons that answers the question of just how large an engine an automaker can cram into a production car. Sporting a displacement more appropriate for a truck than a car, the Viper quickly created a fearsome reputation. Five generations of Viper have been created, spanning 1991 to 2017, with a three-year gap from 2010 to 2013. What we've got here is a fifth-generation 2014 Dodge Viper with just 19,000 miles on the clock. Read on to discover why you should be intrigued, excited, and maybe just a little scared of it.
Exterior and Interior
After a three-year hiatus, the Viper nameplate returned on the fifth and final generation in 2013 with a complete redesign. This 2014 Dodge Viper wears a very menacing black paint job with twin red stripes down the center. Glaring projector lamps stare you down at the front, the taut side profile still bears side exit exhaust pipes, and the rear view is the one that most people will see when a Viper spears by. A kicked-up deck spoiler adds to the overall impression of speed, as do the red brake calipers peeking out from behind black Y-spoke alloy wheels. Let's head inside because that's where you want to be. Open a frameless door, climb over a wide sill, and you're in a two-seat cabin. It's very well appointed, with red leather-trimmed seats, flat-bottomed, carbon-fiber trimmed steering wheel, red SRT gear knob, climate control, and touch-screen infotainment system. Beneath the rear glass hatch lies the luggage area, which is surprisingly spacious for a car of this ilk. Furthermore, the steering wheel features multifunction controls, and there's an Alpine speaker system for when you want to cruise along in peace.
Engine
We mentioned you should be intrigued, excited, and a little scared. That's because what lies beneath the hood of this 2014 Dodge Viper is a monstrous 8.4-liter V10 engine that puts out 640 horsepower and 600 lb-ft of torque. Coupled with a Tremec TR-6060 six-speed manual transmission and very few driver aids, it's a very analog device. You can't just get into a Viper, rev the engine to the upper reaches, and drop the clutch, or you will face a very different direction. It demands a certain degree of mindfulness to drive it quickly, or the Viper will bite, like its namesake. Treat the Viper with respect, and it will reward you with an amazing driving experience, putting a broad smile on your face.
The 1996 Dodge Viper RT/10 represents the beginning of Dodge’s modern supercar legacy, bringing an uncompromising American approach to high-performance sports cars during the 1990s. Developed with inspiration from classic roadsters and motorsport engineering, the Viper combined a lightweight chassis, aggressive styling, and the massive torque of an 8.0L naturally aspirated V10 to create a driving experience unlike anything else on the road. This example is finished in Stone White with a Baby Blue racing stripe and features the desirable combination of a 6-speed manual transmission, rear-wheel drive, and both a black convertible soft top and body-colored removable hard top. With just 20,141 miles, this Viper RT/10 remains a distinctive piece of American performance history, equipped with features including a limited-slip differential, performance suspension system, 17-inch cast aluminum wheels, and air conditioning.
By 2005, performance cars were beginning to rely increasingly on electronics to make speed more approachable. Dodge took a different route with the Viper: place an enormous naturally aspirated V10 ahead of the driver, send its power to the rear wheels through a 6-speed manual, and leave the experience intentionally raw. This 2005 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Convertible shows 38,913 miles and is finished in menacing Viper Black over a matching Black interior and soft top. Its factory 18-inch front and 19-inch rear wheels, red brake calipers, and low-slung roadster proportions deliver the unmistakable presence expected from a Viper, while the limited-slip differential’s upgraded 3.55 rear gearing sharpens the response of its already formidable drivetrain. For the enthusiast who values displacement, manual control, and open-air theater over refinement and restraint, few automobiles tell the story quite like this one.
The Dodge Viper GTS represents one of the purest expressions of American performance ever produced. Developed with minimal electronic intervention and powered by a massive naturally aspirated V10, the Viper was built for enthusiasts who valued raw driving engagement above all else. By 2001, the second-generation Viper had firmly established itself as a world-class performance machine, combining brutal acceleration with unmistakable styling. This 2001 Dodge Viper GTS Coupe is finished in iconic Viper Race Yellow over a Black leather interior and shows just 2,746 miles. Equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission and presenting in highly original specification, this low-mileage example embodies everything that made the Viper legendary. With its dramatic coupe bodywork, race-inspired design cues, and immense V10 power, this GTS stands as one of the most memorable American sports cars of its era.
This 2010 Dodge Charger Police UTE Custom started life as a four-door police-spec Charger, but today it presents as something far more unusual. Showing 104,875 miles, it has been transformed into a two-door ute-style pickup with a custom rear cargo bed, extensively modified rear body structure, SRT-style front-end treatment, and a custom orange paint job with exterior graphics. Underneath the custom bodywork, it retains the 5.7L HEMI V8, 5-speed automatic transmission, rear-wheel-drive layout, and several pieces of its original police equipment. The result is a one-off build that blends muscle-car character with Australian-style utility-car inspiration.
The 2016 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat represents one of the defining moments of the modern American muscle-car era, bringing supercar-level power to Dodge’s retro-styled coupe formula. Showing 24,191 miles, this example is finished in the especially desirable Plum Crazy Pearlcoat and pairs its supercharged HEMI V8 with the 8-speed TorqueFlite HP90 automatic transmission. Factory highlights include Brass Monkey forged wheels, Black Laguna Performance leather seats with SRT embossed logos, and a power sunroof. With its unmistakable styling, dramatic color combination, and 707-horsepower Hellcat powertrain, this Challenger remains one of the most charismatic high-performance cars of its generation.
The 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 was conceived as the ultimate sendoff for Dodge’s supercharged HEMI era, and this example is about as close to a new one as you are likely to find with just 23 miles on the odometer. Finished in Triple Nickel and fitted with the SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody Package, Premium Group, and the unmistakable Demon 170 hardware, it represents the most extreme factory evolution of the modern Challenger platform. Features such as the 170 Satin Black Hood/Roof/Decklid Graphic, staggered forged wheels, yellow-logo Brembo brakes, transbrake, SRT Power Chiller, and After-Run Chiller all reinforce that this is far more than a cosmetic special edition. With essentially delivery mileage, this Demon 170 offers the rare opportunity to experience one of Dodge’s most outrageous modern muscle cars in remarkably fresh form.
