2005 Dodge Viper Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
The 2005 Dodge Viper SRT Roadster is a monster on the road, and completely worthy of its namesake. Speed, power, and aggressive beauty come together primally in the 2005 Dodge Viper for the ultimate driving experience. The 8.3-liter V10 harnesses the power of 500 horses, allowing for a 0-60 mph of under 4 seconds, and a top speed above 190 mph. The 2005 Dodge Viper SRT-10 was built for nothing but fun.
With all that power, the 2005 Dodge Viper SRT-10 isn't completely bare in the comfort department. Air conditioning, power windows, power seats, adjustable pedals, and a 6-CD changer keep passenger and driver (only one of each allowed) happy. Not that they wouldn't be, going any speed they want in a convertible with a top that is easy to operate. But Dodge also didn't go overboard with the 2005 Dodge Viper. Nothing frivolous like cupholders or cruise control clutter up the interior of the 2005 SRT-10.
Owners of the 2005 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Roadster have one major request for Dodge: more power. As if 500 hp wasn't enough. There is also a slight problem of the engine causing the passenger compartment to heat up a bit, but owners seem to overlook that single flaw in the grand scheme of going faster and looking better than they can in just about any other production car on the market.

Great model if you want a no frill technological driving experience. Decent value according to Carfax. You could buy a Corvette for 1/2 the money and get more features.Aug 17, 2021

Great looking, fun driving-hard driving sports car compared to the ZR1. But if you know how to race and drive the car for how/why it's built you can have a lot of fun. Just don't let your friends test drive it! Jun 15, 2013

What's not to like? It has 700 rwhp and will spin the tires through third. There's nothing like going 170mph with the top down. And then when you want to just cruise, it's as docile as any daily driver. And it gets looks everywhere I go. It is just what I wanted!Nov 17, 2009

what else can I say about the dodge viper? Besides that it's a pro car for anyone who wants a sporty car that works great. The Viper is an enjoyable way to get from point to point and the cost of ownership is nice to boot except its a gas guzzler from time to time but preforms well and requires ver little mateninceNov 09, 2009

Verry goog piece of car but 8,0 L engine is far from economic. So it is not for everyone. I guess I will have to look for more economic cars but still wiht lot HP because it is crutial when it comes to buying one.Sep 20, 2009

Well what can say about a 500 bhp monster that can cruise all day at high 20's mpg, is so comfortable on a long drive with great seats and a super radio and stereo which includes a six disc dash mounted CD changer. Costs only a couple of hundred pounds to service once a year and gives Ferrari performance.Nov 10, 2008

I've owned six vipers now and God willing will never be without one! This one has a fully built custom motor w/a paxton supercharger making just over 1,000hp! It's unbelievable to drive! I've been looking to build a car like this for years and finally found this one. Love it!Nov 03, 2008

This viper is a salvage car. The guy it was bought from wrecked the whole body and some of the frame. After fixing the frame, my dad ordered a 1 of 5 Street Serpent body kit by Jeff Lemke of AP Engineering Inc. All the body panels are fiberglass, the body is two inches wider, the hood is modeled after the 2008 Viper, and all around the body really makes the look killer and aggressive. Engine mods include a Mopar cat-back exhaust, retuned computer, X-metal billet aluminum throttle body, and a K&N smooth tube intake with filters. Feb 06, 2008

Ahh, the Dodge Viper. Not a very common racing car, but one heck of an awesome car! This car had a lot of speed in just one gear. You would basically go from 0 to 70 only in 2nd gear. It also was a great car to maneuver, hence the wide racing tires. The paint job was great - the metallic silver-blue paint was shiny and glossy. Not only is the beauty and wonder on the outside, but just flip the hood and start the engine!Jan 26, 2008
