The 2008 Dodge Viper STR-10 Convertible is promising to be the highest performing Viper to date. With over 600 horsepower that’s powered by a V10 8.4 liter engine, this muscle car will be able to take you from zero to sixty in only four seconds. Never has there been a Viper that has so much power and so many technological upgrades, which is why this is one of the most highly-anticipated cars of the season. You will be able to enjoy the pristine engineering that has been put into play within this Viper, including VVT technology. This stands for Variable Valve Timing, and will give you speeds and performance accuracy unlike anything else on the market. 

Basically what the VVT system gives you is increased engine efficiency, which is controlled by carefully timing out the engine valves.  This Viper is outfitted with a six-speed transmission (manual) and an updated clutch.  With the twin-disc clutch you shifting between gears is much smoother and allows for higher-quality gear changes.  Even though this is a manual transmission, you will rarely feel any “jolting” that is associated with this type of gear.  Like a true muscle car, this Viper gives you independently controlled suspension within each tire, which will give you the ability to take even the sharpest turn.  Precision driving has never been as pure as it is within this car.  This is even made clearer with the car’s low center of gravity, which is made possible by the vehicle’s wide-stance design. 

With any sports car, you will want to make sure that the braking system can handle the amount of forward energy it will be experiencing.  This is why Dodge has implemented the Brembo brakes, which features state-of-the-art breaking technology to give you extremely accurate, and quick, stopping time.  This is made possible by the piston calipers, which are dual opposing (40/40) in the front of the car, and 42/38 in the rear.  With this type of braking power, you are able to go from one-hundred miles per hour to zero in less than one-hundred feet.  Of course, this Viper comes with a great Antilock Brake System, which comes complete with the newest technology, Brake Assist.  With the Brake Assist function, the car will not lockup when you have to brake suddenly.  This gives you optimum control and safety when driving.

The exterior of this 2008 Dodge Viper has changed quite a bit from its previous versions. This car was given a newly designed hood, which features a cool-air intake that is much larger than normal, as well as features that help to improve the extraction of hot air from within the engine. With leather bucket seats for both the driver and passenger, the interior was designed for optimum comfort.  And to really make this Viper your own, you have the ability to choose between five various color options for the interior cabin.  Since this is one of the most state-of-the-art Vipers ever built, expect to pay a MSRP of $85,895, however, with all of the advancements in this model, it is well worth the price.
