Cool video. By the way... can the sills really catch fire like they showed in that video, or were they just being satirical???

I gotta save this one............great vid.
It explains Viper like its supposed to be ........raw power, simple and beautiful. I love it when others love the car.
Also if I recall the Viper name is already patented in the UK thats why they can only call it SRT-10.
LMAO!

Funny, they forgot to mention its world class braking abilities. How could they miss that?

"...This is an open vehicle, drive carefully...No!" Great line.
Jeremy never uses the breaks, he just lets every car spin to a stop.

I dont get it...
I have seen this plenty of times and I love how he compliments the SRT-10 over and over, but there is another Top Gear video where they compare the C6 to the SRT-10 and there he just absolutely bashes and rips on it, stating its horrible...
I'll try to find it, but for now you guys enjoy this link:

Clarkson regularly changes his mind, no matter how fervent that he was either for or against any car.
Here is a recent quote of his...
"I try on opinions like I try on clothes, standing in front of a mirror and wondering if they suit me. Sometimes, I take them home and realise I made a bad choice, so I throw them away and get new ones.
This gets me into all sorts of trouble because I can have a definite, firmly held view on, say, a new Peugeot and then, when I drive it again, I can't remember what on earth that view might have been.
People sometimes stop me in the street and are alarmed to find I sing the praises of something I destroyed in print just two weeks earlier."
He openly said that he LOVES the SRT-10 as he did the earlier Viper because of it's in-your-face raw nature.
He tortured the car so badly that he caught it on fire, but he was still impressed that he couldn't break it (as he had done with several Italian exotic cars before).
One important fact to understand is that Top Gear is a show meant as entertainment, and not some unbiased, accurate comparative program, equally evaluating all cars.
Plus DC isn't doing much to promote the Viper (SRT-10) in Europe, and the couple distributors who are importing the tiny handful of SRT-10s are tacking on a steep premium.
Most reviews of the SRT-10 Viper would be much worse in the U.S. if Dodge had tried to sell them here for $160,000+!
With them exporting so few cars over to Europe, and with the price already being pushed up so high, I have to wonder why they don't just throw on a Paxton supercharger into the SRT-10 to make a real impression!
At least with 650-700HP, the grin factor would outweigh any ideas of impracticality.

Your confusing two different British shows. The dufus your talking about was from a show called FIFTH GEAR. Clarkson is from TOP GEAR. I have the video. He knows nothing about the history of the Viper and complains there is no heads up display or traction control. Could you imagine what he would say about the 1st Generation Vipers.

I recorded the entire Viper bit of that Top Gear episode on DVD when it first aired on BBC and loved just about every bit (except for them not doing a rematch on a dry track ), footage quality is excellent
Later I looked up an article in some car mag, and that said that Clarkson would LOVE to have an SRT-10 if only it came in right hand drive
