2006 Dodge Viper

2006 Dodge Viper Overview

Introduction

The Dodge Viper is Dodge's top end, two door, performance sports car. Originally debuted in 1992 as a production vehicle, the Dodge Viper is known as very serious, quick, traditional, and sleek street performance car.

The Viper is produced with seating for only two, as performance and speed take priority over the possibility of more passengers. It includes wrap-around tail lamps and voluptuous body styling. A wrap around window and an optional convertible top allow it to be one of the most noticed cars on the road. The Viper comes with a 510-hp 8.3-liter aluminum-intensive V10, mated to a Tremec T56 six-speed manual transmission, anti-lock brakes, and a viscous limited-slip differential. Unlike many competitors, the Viper is only available with a manual transmission, with little in the way of electronic driving aids.

For 2006, the Viper has only minor changes. Since production is low, changes occur when the car is totally redesigned, which last occurred in 2003.
