Dodge Viper

Believe it or not, the Dodge Viper changed the sports car world. Because it was the first mass-produced sports car by a domestic automaker that absolutely broke every horsepower record around. It’s because of this car that you got to see cars like the Corvette Z06, which had one of the most powerful setups of the mid-2000s (via Motor Trend).

The Viper boasts one of the most reliable engines that Dodge ever built. The technology that went into the Viper was at the top of its class; in fact, it innovated the class. The later models of the Viper were just as important and reliable and the car still commands a hefty price tag. But with the kind of reliability and performance that you got for the price, few complained.
