Excerpts from Jeremy Clarkson's review:
"...it’s the new Dodge Viper; one of the worst cars I’ve ever had the misfortune to drive. And one of the best."
"What was it like to drive? Well, if you’ve ever tried one on your Gran Turismo game, you’ll know. It’s like trying to wrestle with a tiger in an out-of-control nuclear power station."
"It is an idiotic engine that uses fuel like it’s coming from a fire hydrant, but the torque is sensational, and the noise coming out of the side exhausts sounds like Beelzebub barking."
"You could compare the new Viper with any Porsche, Ferrari, BMW or Mercedes. You could even compare it with the new Corvette, and it would lose badly. As a driving tool it is just as wayward and just as hopeless as its predecessor.
You know what, though? I don’t care. It’s as fabulous as an epic piece of weather — a huge thunderstorm or a hurricane perhaps. If I may liken the Euro cars to Dire Straits and Phil Collins — technically perfect and beautifully produced — the Viper is like George Thorogood and the Destroyers — loud, proud and bad to the bone. "
