Christian Wardlaw’s Advice about the 2006 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Coupe:
A skilled driver will enjoy driving the 2006 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Coupe on favorite backroads, but will certainly thrill to slam it around a closed track. Unskilled drivers, well, we’ve all seen the photos on wreckedexotics.com, haven’t we? Bottom line: I loved driving the Viper, which demands attention, drives like a track-ready racer, and is completely impractical. A car like this should never be used as a daily driver, and though the Corvette Z06 is equally capable in many ways, its docile nature and user-friendliness leaves me cold in comparison. The 2006 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Coupe never lets you forget you’re behind the wheel of something unique, something temperamental, something that could bite you hard if you’re not paying attention. It is an exciting car to drive at all times, a car in which you would never consider wolfing down a Quarter Pounder with Cheese while yakking on a cell phone. The Viper Coupe is what a sports car should be.

Thom Blackett’s Advice about the 2006 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Coupe:
Affluent poseurs, do yourself and society a favor by steering clear of the 2006 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Coupe.

This is a car for serious and extremely capable drivers. There’s just too much power here for the average Joe with $90,000 laying around to enjoy on Saturday morning jaunts or to attempt burnouts at the local Starbucks. That’s not a challenge to you; rather an educated understanding that the majority of the buying public is outmatched by this car’s potential, especially given the lack of traction or stability control. In the wrong hands, or sometimes even in the right hands, the unyielding Viper can teach a harsh lesson. But with the right driver and the right road (or track), Dodge’s supercar is an amazing machine that will run as hard and as far as you dare to push it.

Brian Chee’s Advice about the 2006 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Coupe:
Raise your hand and repeat after me: I swear on my standing as a gearhead to take my Viper to a track often, and to never, ever, drive it aggressively on a public road. Do that, and go ahead – have fun. The Viper is loaded with speed and driving excellence; it’s a raw, no-compromise car for people who like to play with raw power. Just don’t plan it as a daily driver. In traffic, on the way to the store or to work, the Viper is like having a shiner: no one wants to say anything, but everyone still stares as you go on by. For those of you who might be entering the difficult, soul-searching middle years, always dreamed of owning a sports car, and don’t even know where the local track is, do yourself a favor and think twice. This car, with this power, is like jumping on a rocket and lighting the fuse. It’s quite a ride, but one you want to come back from.

Ron Perry’s Advice about the 2006 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Coupe:
If you are in a position to purchase a car of this nature, why not?! The only downside I can see is the high cost compared to other cars in this category, but then again, exclusivity doesn’t come cheap.
