"2008 Dodge Viper: Extra Trunk Space"

Black 2008 Dodge Viper Venom

Are 2008 Dodge Vipers getting Smaller? Comparing the 2005-06 SRT10 to 2008. They changed something body wise and I cant figure it out but I’m sure its the length of the car.

Answer: In actually its not the length of the car getting smaller but longer. The newer models are longer to give customers the much needed extra trunk space. The most noticebale feature of the new models though is the width. As you can see Dodge gave it a wider wheelbase to increase stability and performance. Something needed to help the driver handle the amazing 600 horsepower and 560 lbs of torque that the revised 8.4L V10 now dishes out. With a larger wheelbase it gives more room for the engine and allows for the hood to go from being a flat smooth bubble to a more aerodynamic depression. All in all its still one bad@ss vehicle and a real thrill to drive : )
