Every Dodge Viper Generation: 0-60mph & The V10 Truth! Thanks to all the owners for lending us their cars: Gen 1: https://www.instagram.com/butch_cassidy53 Gen 2: https://www.instagram.com/kirk_a_rita Gen 3: https://www.instagram.com/jasontouretto Gen 4: https://www.instagram.com/_schmevin_ Gen 5: https://www.instagram.com/tonystoyss The Dodge Viper is the ultimate American icon—a car that refuses to apologize for its 8.4-litre V10 and complete lack of driver aids. In 2026, as the world moves toward EVs and hybrids, the Viper has become a legendary collector’s item. We've got our hands on EVERY generation—from the raw 1992 RT/10 to the high-tech (for a Viper!) 2013 Gen 5—to see how much that V10 bite has evolved. We’re putting them through a series of "Snake Bites," testing the 0-60mph launches and finding out why owners still risk it all to drive these rear-wheel-drive monsters. Whether you love the classic side-pipes of the Gen 2 or the track-focused aero of the Gen 5, this is the definitive guide to the greatest American supercar ever made.
