Behold, the 2013 SRT Viper, a beast with an 8.4-liter V8 engine that roars with 640 hp and a Tremec T6060 six-speed manual transmission.

The Dodge Viper’s wild journey began with Chrysler engineers’ dreams in 1988, and by 1991, Carroll Shelby was tearing up the Indy 500 track with a 10-cylinder beast. The first-gen Viper, a raw powerhouse on wheels, lacked the frills like windows or door handles, making it the “world’s biggest Harley fat boy” according to Car and Driver. The second-gen Viper, sleeker and slightly tamed, still struggled with braking but thrilled with its “double bubble” roof and potent 455 bhp engine.
