You Can Buy An Awesome Dodge Viper GTS For The Price Of A Honda Accord
You Can Buy An Awesome Dodge Viper GTS For The Price Of A Honda Accord-April 2024

Prestige and exclusivity don't always need to be imported. Case in point: . Not only has this amazing car aged remarkably well, but it's depreciated to the point that it's cheaper than a modestly-optioned Honda Accord EX-L.

is perhaps the most iconic viper ever made. To mistake this car for anything else borderlines on criminal, with its flowing lines and outlandish shape commanding attention wherever it goes. In stock trim, its 8-liter, 450 horsepower V10 engine got the stylish coupe from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 4 seconds flat, which, if you're in possession of a functioning nervous system, is damn fast.

Ported & Polished heads

T&D rocker rollers

Aluminum flywheel

Upgraded ignition plugs/wires

High-flow intake

With these choice add-ons, the car reportedly makes 507 wheel horsepower, or roughly 589 crank horsepower, which, in a car like this, is a very, very good thing.

This car looks to be in phenomenal condition, priced much lower than any other GTS in the market - especially for one with no accidents and requiring no reconditioning.

There's a difference between being cheap and treasuring value per dollar spent. One is knowing…

I Ordered A Carbon-Fiber Roof For My Porsche 996 Turbo And I Might Throw Up A Little
I bought maybe the cheapest Porsche 996 Turbo—that’s right, —on the market a year ago, and I’ve mostly been happily stacking miles on the odometer since then. I have been working on making the car my own with a period-correct set of wheels, some extra carbon trim, and a...
