The 2008 Dodge Viper SRT-10 certainly ups the ante in the brute strength quotient, but it’s anything but awkward. Even the most ham-fisted hero drivers among us can now wield it.

The Viper ACR is raw. It’s wired. And it’s probably the best weekend racer yet from Detroit. A road car you can drive to the track, hot lap all day, and drive back home, tires, brakes, and ego intact.

The Viper ACR is fast. Damn fast. It’s also remarkably controllable and the single most cost-effective way to shred racetrack asphalt this side of a six-man crew and a bulldozer.

As a performance car designed strictly for performance driving, the 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 is almost without equal.

Joe Wiesenfelder Joe Wiesenfelder 8.7 out of 10 2009 Dodge Viper Coupe

With 600 hp, a 0-60 time less than 4 seconds and a top speed of 200 mph is “overkill,” you’re starting to understand what the Viper is about.

Staff Review Automobile.com 6.5 out of 10 2008 Dodge Viper Coupe

It is compliant and competent; impressive without being edgy. It is not scary and the attitude is nearer disdain than debauchery. And it no longer sounds like a supercharged UPS truck.

Staff Review Cars.com 7.0 out of 10 2009 Dodge Viper Convertible

The Viper SRT10 is the least driver-friendly car we’ve evaluated in the sense that a racecar set loose on a city street can be very unfriendly if you don’t leave the Big Gulp and cell phone behind, know what you’re doing.
