Rank: 9
0-to-60 MPH acceleration time: 3.8 seconds
Power-to-weight ratio: 6.9 lb/HP
Engine specs: 8.3-litre V10; 500 HP
Price: $86,995
This new companion to the SRT 10 Convertible has an 8.3-litre V10 engine that hisses out 500 HP and 525 pound-feet of torque. This hardtop version of the Viper has double bubbles for added headroom and carves a menacing profile.
Although the current-generation models are much improved in terms of ride and handling from the roadster that debuted in 1992, the Viper is still a lot to handle - especially at high speeds. Fortunately, the car's massive brake rotors (14 inches in diameter) with anti-lock capability do their part to scrub speed and add a measure of safety.
