Dodge Viper, 500cid V10 boulevard bully... do you luv it or .... walking hollow ghost mind disintegrating paper Mummy man?

why did they stop making them

Motortards back tonight.

Why did Ferrari stop making the f40?
Why did Ford stop making the 427 SOHC?
Why did Lamborghini stop making the Diablo
Why did Chevy stop making the ZL1 Camaro

Why?

Can we do something about the bots on this site.

Because they sucked like every other Dodge.

There’s a 1968 Charger with a viper engine out there…

Silly Mopar heads, Ford guy here, owned 2 Fastbacks, never owned the Holy Grail

They make lots of “ big boy noises “ .,,I’ll stay with MY Porsche Cayman 718 GTS It’ll run run circles around those Dodges

it's not the only one

Ok so it didn't get very far but sounded great for a 59 Plymouth right?

What happened to the deep-throaty sounds of a big V-8?

These sound like they have homemade coffee can mufflers and remind me of those Honda Civic 4-cylinder tuners.

Maybe U like this better?

Meh, my Mom-Mobile has 601HP, and I am not a speeding ticket magnet.

The Vipers were pretty cars, I will give them that. Personally, hate Chargers. Always thought them inelegant.

To each their own. That is why there are so many vehicle types to chose from, wallet permitting.

ETA: To any tard who say "Whatabout da Hellcat????". How many have you actually seen on the road? I have never seen even one, as most are purchased by much older, well heeled men who garage them as investments.

That is what I roll my eyes, and say all the time, noise does not equal speed.

I had 2 of these, sure wish I had the 440 back, this is what it did at Sacramento Raceway, got hole shot-ed by a yellow VW Baha Bug, ran out 100' on me. It had a really short gear, topped out around 75, my Charger blew past it at the finish line.

There is NO WAY to make a V10 sound good. You can tune the exhaust all you want, and you might eek out a little more power, but in the end it will always sound like a UPS truck. Vipers did pull down some great performance numbers, though.

Wheeew! For a moment I thought lt. Dan Mathews Highway Patrol was catching up with me.

Original Viper was true old school with no techie features like modern high performance cars. She was very similar to the muscle cars of old.

Yeah, didn't make much power though, around 425 I think like the Cadillac 500?

Now had they offered a supercharged option.......
