As an owner.

Do not be afraid of the car. Being afraid of it is what will get you killed.
Listen to it, pay attention and this car is a downright pleasure to drive and very predictable.

The powerband is very smooth. So while "raw" it is a predictable power curve and delivery. Inspires confidence, for those that are paying attention.

The interior is similar to other cars in its class, just not as covered in fake leather. Great seats though.

The pedal box is not as narrow, nor as slanted, as everyone says it is.
I occasionally drive in steel-toe work boots and I have never clipped the brake pedal, and rarely clip the clutch pedal while coming off the dead pedal.

I would point out that due to the size of the tires, it will try to follow all the various road defects, sometimes called tramlining.
It is a very stiff suspension, so potholes or other larger dips, bumps or cracks should be avoided for the smoothest ride.
No, you won't go into a wall the second you hit one, unless you were already doing something crazy.
The AC works, but it does get tired fairly quickly as it just simply gets over-powered by the amount of heat built up by the engine and exhaust system.
Do not put run flats on this car. Do not put cheap tires on this car. Do not drive on old tires.

When I test drove mine, I felt every bit of what you said. I was legitimately scared of it at first and the stories didn’t help.

Now that I know the car, I understand it demands respect but it is also perfectly balanced and incredibly grippy and capable. I freaking love this car!

[tehtehkhantengames]

I want one so bad, I would daily it for sure. I already daily a monster so this would just be another type of monster for me lol.

[georgek]

Great review. I was laughing the whole time because you were so dead on. It's not for the faint of heart.

[iamgeek]

As much as I love the Viper, I must agree, it definitely has the kit car vibe going on.

[DaveSchnare]

lol...awesome review...."Look at me, I'm sweating here"

I always called my Yellow Viper a “sexy dumb blond”. She looked so good but riding her was very rough and hot as hell. Yes, it was my 4th car in the garage. Kind miss her every now and then.

[dalusa]

LOL 😂 This made me laugh my ass off. Funny good review!

One of my neighbors has a Viper ACR, it lives in his garage. Maybe has 8000 miles on it, he is terrified of the thing.

[mannyfox]

Fun review - what did it sound like from the cockpit and how low was it under acceleration? Thank you

[johnk]

Great review, I am switching from Hellcat to Viper and I honestly feel the Hellcat is more visceral and in your face power. The viper has more of a race car feel. Awesome machines! How many miles were on this Viper?

"Im always trying to kill you."-Viper

I love the viper and not sure about the newer ones, but I feel the older ones were too cramped inside and needed better suspension and the side exhaust would make it hotter inside. Just my opinion! U can share what u think. No need to trash me.

[AnglUki]

It's trying to be an analog '80s supercar, in an era when supercars are trying to be luxury cars. It hit the mark dead on! It's just the mark it hit isn't popular anymore.

[diecastrendezvousgroupdrg]

Yes I was scared all the way to death in the Rt10

[dominickwarren]

I want my car to want to kill me. I'll tame this thing. Give me a chance.

[peterbuiltcummins]

I was about to drag this guy through the mud for his lameness untill i lmao'd at the corvette comparison 😂
