Product Overview
Dodge Viper Mk3 (chassis code ZB I) is a high-performance mid-size sports car in production from 2002 to 2007. It was powered by a Viper V10 engine that displaced 8.3 liters paired to a 6-speed manual transmission.
Compared to the Mk2, the Mk3 brings a slight bump in displacement and a new Tremec manual transmission that supplanted the BorgWarner unit. With a higher output, the Viper is faster and equally brutish.
Styling-wise, the ZB I Viper is an evolution of the Viper's classic design. Owners may find that at speed the vehicle consumes a lot more than the numbers indicate, thanks to a disappointing 0.40 coefficient of drag to show for it.
