Fiat-Chrysler’s emblematic long-nose rocket ship is reborn under the Dodge name for 2015, the SRT division having bit the dust. More refined, “polished” than earlier cars, the recent Viper shocked purists and production even had to stop for a certain time. Still, this monster is no grocery-getter. The massive 8.4L V10 still churns out 645 horsepower and 600 lbs.-ft. of torque (treat the throttle with respect) and a classic six-speed manual is the only transmission available.
