2013 SRT Viper in ABSOLUTE PERFECT CONDITION!!!!!!!!!!!
LOW MILES 2, 600
Vipers of old didn’t give you a lot of options, short of the race-ready ACR model. For the fifth generation,
though, SRT has decided to do a significant two-model split. For the racer, the base model gives you all the
thrills and few of the frills. If you like leather seats and contrast stitching, get the fancier GTS model.
Until now, all our testing has been done on the GTS. This isn’t unusual, as automakers like to get their fanciest
model out to the press first to dazzle us with all the features. In truth, the extra weight of some leather and
do-dads shouldn’t meaningfully affect performance on a 640-horsepower car. Nevertheless, we felt it our duty to
test the base SRT model as well, just to make sure.
SRT is pitching this car as the highest-performing car under $100, 000. At $99, 390 to start, it’s an optional
paint color away from breaking the C-note mark, and there are only three no-cost colors. Unfortunately, there’s
the small matter of the gas guzzler tax, which pushes the price to $101, 990 out the door. Our tester also sported a
$500 set of polished wheels, but other than that, it was as base as it could get. So technically, it’s only an
under-$100, 000 car before tax, but never mind that. Is it the best?
