The Dodge Viper is an iconic American sports car famous for its massive V10 engine, manual-only transmission, and raw, uncompromising performance.  Inspired by the classic Shelby Cobra, it was manufactured by Dodge across five generations from 1991 until its permanent discontinuation in August 2017.  Because it was built with virtually no driver aids in its early years, it earned a reputation as a thrilling but dangerous "bare-knuckle bruiser” (actor Kelsey Grammar famously rolled his early Viper at the end of his driveway).  The engine was uniquely designed - Chrysler took its cast iron truck engine block and tasked its then-subsidiary, Lamborghini, with converting it into a lightweight, high-revving aluminum masterpiece.  The Viper's production spanned five distinct eras, evolving from a stripped-down roadster into a world-class track machine.  The original roadster was completely raw. It had no external door handles, no real side windows (just zip-up canvas panels), no air conditioning, and no anti-lock brakes (ABS). It was powered by an 8.0-liter aluminum V10 producing 400 horsepower. The final iteration featured modern creature comforts, a highly upgraded interior, and mandatory safety tech like stability and traction control. Its final 8.4-liter engine pushed out 645 horsepower.
