TCC’s Bottom Line

German precision and handling combines with Italian power to create a superb supercar that's also fit for daily use.

The 2013 Dodge SRT Viper is undeniably a supercar, fearsome in its aspect and performance, but it still has some rough edges--and might not command the respect an Italian or German marque would.

TCC Likes

Gorgeous from almost every angle
The practical supercar
Thriling V-10

Dramatic styling
Incredible performance
Gentler manners than previous-generation Vipers

TCC Dislikes

Rearward visibility is poor
Entry and exit are tough
Cargo space is minimal

Jurassic thirst for fuel
Somewhat unimpressive interior
Expensive for a Dodge
