Is the 2017 Dodge Viper GTC a sports car worth the price?

The Viper was killed off my Dodge and 2017 was the final year of production. This Viper GTC takes the GTS platform to another level. Under the hood is an 8.4L V10 that is pumping out 645HP & mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox. On the outside you will find very aggressive styling, 18/19in wheel setup, and brakes. On the inside the fit and finish is at the highest level of an other generation of the Viper. It also includes an 8.4in infotainment system and plenty of cargo space. Is the 2017 Dodge Viper GTC a sports car worth the price?

I was obsessed with these cars as a kid. I would draw them, read books about them, and even made a small clay model that I kept in the freezer. I would download videos and pictures from limewire with my “AOL” cd dial-up modem lol Now that I think about it; I just love the way it looks. My school folders would be filled with viper pictures that I had printed from the local copy shop. I would ride my bike there and even had it stolen in the process. It was one of the first things that I was eager to spend my money on. Idk if I would have liked it so much if it wasn’t so fast 🤔 I told myself that I wasn’t going to get one but you know what? F*ck it 😈 we’re lucky to be alive. We found the bike about 30 min later. Someone ditched it 3 blocks away next to a KFC lol Okay time to hit the gym, the ore workout is kicking in.

This car is so criminally underrated and it still looks beautiful and modern today. What a timeless design and all that power mated to a 6-speed manual make it even more special now in a world full of flappy paddle automatics. This is definitely another dream car for me. Thank you for sharing and well done! SUCH a shame this car is discontinued. Your word and emotion when talking about this car...I'm with you brother! Who needs engine sound piped in through the speakers when you are literally sitting over the exhaust. Man, I really do miss this car. Too bad I am not in a position to get one right now so I really appreciate this review. Such a special, special car for the real car enthusiast. BTW those shots with that huge American flag waving through the windows were just so fitting with this car. Perfect!

Man, I'm a Vette guy but still have a soft spot for the Viper. Really hope to see this car come back soon. If they threw a DCT in there as an option to help sell the car to the "manual only" crowd I think the sales would help it be a true competitor to the Vette. Also would give people who prefer front-engine an alternative. But it's gotta keep the V10 no matter what! Even if it were to downsize to a more European displacement such as the Huracan.
