Dodge Viper

In the U.S. version exhaust will led front laterally to the outside.

We have compiled here the data of the Viper from three model lines. So you are able to detect the rapid development of this sports car. Also a few special features of the V10 power train maybe become apparent, e.g. that with 90° bank angle no uniform angular ignition spacing is possible. Unless you give each piston its own crank.

This number of cylinders is somewhat surprising but big V8 with up to 7.7 liters displacement come very close to him. Usually more cylinders rotate higher with the same capacity, but also this is not the case at this engine. So then also this drivetrain except F1 engines, remains unique for a long time. And as a ohv engine in any case.

Would be there a V8, you could consider the Viper as plagiarism of the Corvette. After all, it, too, has a body made of plastic and of course independent suspension. But it distances itself with the mighty performance and never automatic transmission, though indeed also in almost double the purchase price. However, by such a torque the gearbox gets a gear changing, not easy to handle.

Although it sounds different in the brochure, it seems with the ease to use the Viper, but not to be so far afield. Clutch and gear changing take their toll. As an unpractised driver one should also not search so ingenuous the limit range in the driving behaviour. That's what happens when you designate a sports car after a to three feet long poisonous snake. Nevertheless, the black skin suits the car much better than the green. 11/13
