600 horsepower for $83,145: '08 Dodge Viper gets priced
AutoBlog.com



Man, and here we thought that the 600-horse Bentley Continental GT Speed was a bargain at $199K. Dragtimes.com has reportedly obtained the pricing info for the revamped, more powerful 2008 Dodge Viper. The news is good, as The New Chrysler's flagship tire-melter will start at just $83,145 for the Viper SRT10 Roadster. Want the coupe? Pony up a little more: $83,895. Bang-for-the-buck, thy name is Viper.

Interesting, prices dropped slightly.

Gut feeling is hardcore 3rd gen owners will be fast to get the new model and you may see a slight dealer markup with very fewsitting inshowrooms until the 09 model. This also means a flood of 3rd Gens in the used market, driving those prices down a little.

As for 1st and 2nd Gen owners, most will stay with what they have or buy a second. Most of those owners are not overly thrilled with the 3rd Gen, however the boost in HPcould be tempting enough to move to the new coupe for some of them.

 

I fully agree with you 94rt, absolutely. It's going to be a good time to buy a used Viper soon.

 

Sorry for my ignorance, but what is stopping dodge from putting turbos, even a single turbo on these vipers? I've seen some twin turbo vipers pushing 2000+HP. I think it would be a very powerful edition to an already very powerful engine.

 

I think one thing we all love about the Viper is the raw natural power. I'll leave turbos and superchargers to aftermarket owners and companies like Hennessey.

 

+1.

 

I agree with that a bit to, less of a chance of something to break, fail ,etc..I'm just not one to let so much power be left un tapped :-P

 

Wow, thats a bargain, since Porsches are squeezing into the 6 figure range...

 

N/A + displacement FTW!!

 

As sexii as that Viper is, there is no way in hell my *** could afford one of those.
