Auto reviewers are enamored by the 2010 Viper STR10's explosive 8.4-liter V10 engine. It generates 600-horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 560 pound-feet of torque at 5,100 rpm. A six-speed manual transmission is standard. According to Dodge, it can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just four seconds.
A Viper American Club Racer (ACR) trim is even wilder. Automobile Magazine reports: "Last year, the car was able to snag the Corvette ZR1's Nurburgring record. This year, the Dodge crew took the 2010 Viper ACR back to Laguna Seca Raceway in California to recapture the (unsanctioned) production car lap record. With a time of 1:33.915, the team drove away with the mission accomplished."
Though the EPA has not yet rated the 2010 Viper’s fuel economy, the highly-similar 2009 model nets a city/highway fuel economy of 13/22 mpg.
Test drivers report that the 2010 Viper handles marvelously for a high-performance speed machine; however it’s not easy to live with as a daily driver. The new American Club Racer (ACR) trim, which is specially tuned for track performance, is even more aggressive.
