Dodge Viper 1992-1995 Specifications

The 1992-1995 Dodge Viper is equipped with a single engine option: an 8.0L V10 engine producing 400 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque. This engine is known for its high performance and distinctive exhaust note, making it a standout in its class.

The Dodge Viper from 1992 to 1995 comes exclusively with a 6-speed manual transmission, designed to handle the high torque output of the V10 engine and provide precise gear shifts.

The Viper features minimal safety equipment, including dual airbags, anti-lock brakes (ABS), and a reinforced steel frame. However, due to its high-performance nature, driver skill and caution are essential for safe operation.

The Viper's fuel economy is rated at approximately 12 mpg city and 20 mpg highway, which is comparable to other high-performance sports cars of the era, such as the Chevrolet Corvette and Ferrari 348.

Recommended maintenance includes oil changes every 3,000 miles, brake inspections every 10,000 miles, and a full service check every 15,000 miles. Timing belt replacement is advised every 60,000 miles.

Notable features include a removable soft-top roof, a hand-built V10 engine, a lightweight fiberglass body, and a sport-tuned suspension. Optional features are limited due to the Viper's focus on performance.

The Viper offers minimal cargo space and a two-seater cabin, prioritizing performance over practicality. It has less interior space compared to competitors like the Chevrolet Corvette but excels in driving dynamics.

The Dodge Viper is not designed for towing or heavy payloads. Its focus is on high-speed performance and handling rather than utility.
