2006 Dodge Viper Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
2006 gave the Dodge Viper SRT-10 Roadster Convertible a brother: the 2006 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Coupe. This new hardtop model rounded out the new generation of Vipers nicely. Other than the top, very little is different between the 2006 Dodge Viper Roadster and the Coupe. Both have answered the continual call from Viper owners for more power from the V10. The 8.3-liter engine now churns out 510 hp. Is there no limit to the amount of horsepower Dodge can cram into the Viper?
The 2006 Dodge Viper SRT-10s were not built for comfort, but engineers kept it in mind and did think to include air conditioning, power windows and locks, and a 6-CD changer, all of which were missing in some early models of the Viper. The bucket seats in the 2006 Dodge Viper seem to be more comfortable than the first generation seats, meaning you can comfortably drive farther, if you can afford the 12/20 mpg that the 2006 Dodge Viper gets. But no matter where you go, whether in the SRT-10 convertible or the coupe, you're bound to catch a lot of stares.
Or so say the owners of the 2006 Dodge Viper SRT-10s. Not that its any surprise, not with the reputation the Viper has gained, or its unique shape and sound. The 2006 Dodge Viper SRT-10 is not a car for a timid or mediocre driver, but if you can handle the power, few cars can match the fun of the Viper.

Loaded with power.
Quite possibly one of the worse handling cars that I've ever driven.
Great looking car.
Sounds throaty and loaded with HP.
I understand that the newest model Vipers handle much better. I'd consider only if this was going to be the third family (lol) car.Oct 15, 2014

I just bought this car used last week with only 16,000 miles and have to say it's more than I ever hoped for. Everyone knows about the horsepower and torque, but the car is unbelievably comfortable to drive! I've driven it here in Dallas during 100+ days and have no issues with heat in the cabin. While the ride is stiff, it won't rattle your teeth loose and the looks are to die for. Men, women, kids... all love the car, give me thumbs up and want to ride in it. The only downside is every kid in a mustang or camaro wants to race. All I need to do is step on the gas and watch them disappear.
**** 1 YEAR UPDATE ****
I've now owned this car for one year. I still have no regrets. The Viper is reliable, comfortable, and still an awesome car to drive. I've driven it from DFW to Little Rock, AR and was comfortable the whole way. I've tracked it and can say it has greater capabilities than I do. I'm actually looking to buy another one shortly.Aug 10, 2011

Overall I liked the car. Could use a little more
insulation from the heat off the engine. Better have
$2500 every 15,000 miles for tires. Expect to have
your picture taken a least a 3 or 4 times a week. LOLFeb 18, 2010

This is a quintessential supercar. I have always wanted one since I saw the first prototype at the Auto show in 1992. These cars are highly underated as most people think Ferrari or some other exotic is superior. This is a myth. This cars acceleration and handling is unbelievable. Its looks are second to none and I just get this awesome feeling whenever I see it or drive it. It gets lots of attn. and some people just cant believe it when they see it. They only make a limited production per year and the Viper name is well revered. I just love this car. This has been my dream come true.Oct 17, 2008

I had an opportunity to drive one on a motor-cross and the acceleration was incredible.
Handling was impressive as well. People criticize Viper for being a straight line car, but I
thought it handled perfectly. Mar 18, 2008
