2013 SRT Viper GTS

Sorry I haven't posted in about a week. I have been really tied up with a bunch of stuff and just realized I haven't posted in a while, so here I am. Since I'm not sure when I'll be able to post again expect posts around once a week at least. Well I got a new R & T and there is this really great article about the 2013 SRT Viper GTS Vs. the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT 9(the latter I will bring in the next article). Anyway down to business. The Viper has a massive 8.4 liter V-10 pumping out 600 lb ft of torque and 640 hp. The Viper has a really fast top speed at 206 mph. This car will take you to 60 in 3.5 seconds, plus you don't have to change gears(yep it goes up to 62 mph in first gear). The Viper has a six-speed manual and has an almost perfect front to rear weight distribution at 49.6/50.4. One of the only bad things is it has a relatively low redline at 6400 rpm. The Viper has a steel chassis and a carbon fiber and aluminum body and weighs 3380 lb. It has good roadholding at 1.02g's. The base Viper only has a $124,990 base price and you will get your money's worth. Its 12/19 mpg is just like a true Viper. With all the controls on it's surprisingly civilized, but the instant you turn them off it will bite.
