Is the 2006 Dodge Viper SRT10 a BETTER sports car than a Corvette Z06?

The Viper is an automotive icon from Dodge. 2006 was a big year because it was the return of the coupe since 2002. On the outside you will fin staggered wheels, a functional hood scoop w/ heat extractors, and painted on racing strips. On the inside there is a special two-tone color scheme with all analog gauges. Powering the the Viper is an 8.3L V10 pumping out 510HP & mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox. Is the 2006 Dodge Viper SRT10 a BETTER sports car than a Corvette Z06?

LOL, I love how happy Joe is On-Throttle in this thing! Brings a smile to all of our faces.

[@RaitisRides]

I really appreciate you letting me share it with you!

[@sinclairlewis6162]

On Throttle is Joe's Therapy 😂 And I don't blame him.

[@reintgenrc]

For those who love cars this car can't help but put a smile on your face. It's exhilarating but also something that needs to be respected. If you make a mistake in this car, it will sure let you know it.

[@RaitisRides]

You hit the nail on the head Robert!

[@stavroslask1292]

We all can pick these vipers up for 50-65k. This dealership is ridiculous. These cars are all low mileage. No one drove or drives these type of cars more than 2-3,000 miles a year on average. Especially if they are owned outside of Texas, California and Florida. My neighbor has a RT10 from 1996. It has 68,000 miles. We’re in NY so he doesn’t take it out of the garage 7 months out of the year. Tell your friends at the dealership they’re lucky there’s still pandemic pricing for cars. ie a 2023 civic type R that sells for 70K. Nice video as always

[@RaitisRides]

Thanks for sharing your input.

[@Youcallthesebagels_]

You clearly don’t know anything about the Viper market… you are delusional lol. Find me a 3rd or 4th gen with under 5k miles for under 80k. Most are going for 90-100k with more miles than this one. And yes people put miles on vipers. (2 time viper owner) this isn’t news, vipers have been rising since summer of 2019. And they’ll stay there!

[@stavroslask1292]

@@Youcallthesebagels_ you are in a class by yourself bro. You and your circle of friends are not the entire USA Population. Remember that. There are plenty of vipers at 50-65K pre covid. Don’t compare todays and yesterdays numbers. A fukn Civic Type R 2023 is selling for 70K.

[@cosme271988]

The convertible not the coupe, coupes are keeping their value

[@j757G]

Completely disagree... Its basically selling for a discount considering the low miles and inflation! Just the 10% from this year would put the car @ 100k.

[@ricekick]

The Viper was probably the one car in particular that got me liking muscle cars the first place. As a 10 yr old, it looked very sharp and cool. It still is!

[@ericmurphy7541]

No replacement for displacement!! Great video great car Joe and Lori!

[@RaitisRides]

You better believe it Eric!

[@1laimmiss]

It's called forced induction. That is the replacement

[@bigmooseplays]

This is by far my favourite generation of viper. The early-mid 2000s feel is just something else

[@RaitisRides]

Trust me I totally get it!

[@bigmooseplays]

@hey it's pete *my* favourite. Also, this generation actually felt more like muscle than the others did

[@mariowhyte2816]

I don't even need to finish this video to know that I'm gonna need this Viper in my life and on my driveway!!! But for tge KZbin algorithm I'll watch the entire video!! Awesome car, every single gen was epic and this one absolutely looks the part!!! Catching up on the weekend videos here. Man, Joe, you and Lori and Steven sure know how to crank out videos like no one else!!!

[@momoknows]

The Big time issue with these is the rain and overall grip and control you have to be on your game when driving this beast

[@RaitisRides]

This is so very true!

[@PotatoeJoe69]

Viper's have an insane amount of grip. Grip is not the issue, people who have no idea how to drive 400, 500, 600hp cars without electronic systems holding your hand is the problem.

[@TheROB0TGuy]

This had always been my dream car as a kid, and was wondering if you'd ever do a video on one. You happened to do my exact favorite color, and everything. Thank you Sir!

[@o-o6355]

i had a 2019 dodge charger scat pack. when i first bought it i was terrified of it for about 2 months. i never really got used to just how fast that car was. and this viper is even scarier. completely understand lol. 👍🏻🇺🇸

[@powerboatguy2308]

There were some good deals on these on the used market, but in the last 6 years they have exploded in value and will continue to do so. The ultimate alpha vehicle, manual trans, massive torque, no frills interior.

[@Kreege]

Yeah it was crazy. Gen 2 and 3s were in the 30s/40s and gen 1s in the 20s for a long time. Glad I snagged mine when I did because they were way undervalued for too long.

[@TheTaytay198]

He’s right about your frontal cortex melting. Bought a gen 1, 1993 after a red eye flight back from Vegas probably still drunk on a whim. Amazing experience but not very functional with no door handles, windows or a roof. I regret selling it though.

[@WN427]

Someone in my neighborhood has one exactly like this. It's such a beautiful car. My personal favorite is the first gen coupe GTS in red with the racing stripes and gold wheels.

[@shashikiransundi]

[@Blackwing668]

Cue the my muscle theme from NFS Carbon,where the C6 Z06 and the Viper SRT-10 were the best cars in the muscle category. I was snacking while the on throttle action was going on and boy oh boy this viper makes my heart pitter patter of joy,and joes on throttle reactions are just the icing on this SRT-10 Cake. Amazing review and amazing camera work as always Steven and just like always;I’ll see you on the next ride. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

[@brianlee9233]

These Vipers are just insanely beautiful but the dealer upcharges are unacceptable. Just buying a brand new cars without paying for a 5K-10K markup is just ridiculous (but in a bad way). I love how this Viper looks like so far, Joe! Joe, you should definitely consider getting a Viper if you can!

[@loneangel1]

It's one of the best-looking sports cars ever made. I've acquired a taste for curves lately, and only a few designs pull it off well. Porsches, Audis and VWs from a couple of generations ago, A/C Cobras, and of course the Viper to name a few. Curves stand the test of time.

[@RaitisRides]

Trust me I know how you feel!

[@reloadingdontshoot1]

Vipers are timeless classics and legendary for their stock performance. Won't see anything like them built again. They're the Terminator Cobra of the Dodge brand
