  • 2015 Dodge Viper SRT

    It's no secret that the Dodge Viper SRT isn't exactly selling like gangbusters, but there’s relief in sight. The 2015 model year sees a series of updates for the all-American supercar, but most importantly the new model year brings a massive $15,000 price reduction. Whether this is enough to turn the tide on the Viper’s poor sales remains to be seen, but just in case it appears Dodge is planning additional updates to entice buyers. According to an Automotive News (subscription required) report, Dodge is planning to further boost power and torque levels for the Viper’s...
