2014 Dodge Viper T/A #20 of 33 640 HP 1496 Miles

1496 gentle miles on this rarest of the rare Vipers. This supercar is #20 of 33 made and only 28 are left as 5 have been totaled. There is a full Xpel clear bra ($3000) and it has been ceramic coated ($1000) as well as ceramic tint on the sides and back ($300). The front windshield has clear blue 80 on it ($200) to help with the glare and heat, but it does not affect your vision as it is not a darkening tint. I powder coated the Sidewinder wheels bronze with gold flake in the clear coat. It is subtle, but pops in the sun ($500). I can have them powder coated back to stock if the buyer wishes before delivery.
Standard on the TA is the $4800 Carbon Fiber Aero Package consisting of two fangs (a two-way front splitter) and a functional rear wing that provides 300 pounds of downforce at 150 mph. That might sound ridiculous, but this particular snake whipped through Laguna’s turn one at more than 140 mph. You also get the most excellent-looking taillight carbon-fiber “applique,” part of the $5100 Exterior Carbon Fiber Package. The Viper TA comes standard with the $4000 version of the Track Package (that includes the $500 charge for matte wheels), which consists of better and lighter brakes, wheels, and tires. There is a twist: Instead of the two-piece StopTech rotors, TAs get beefier (twice as thick, say the engineers!) Brembo rotors up front that are 5mm larger in diameter and weigh 2 pounds more each. The rear brakes are also Brembos, though the same size as before. The tires are the same Pirelli P Zero Corsas we tested on the GTS. Also like the GTS, the Viper TA gets two-mode, remote reservoir shocks. In the GTS, you have street and track modes; in the TA, you have two track modes, smooth and rough. There’s no street mode. That’s not to say you can’t drive the TA on the street (it’s totally legal to do so, unlike, say, the old Viper ACR-X), it’s just that the car has been optimized for the racetrack. Speaking of suspension, the spring rates and anti-roll bar tuning are TA-specific.
Like all new Vipers, the TA has an X-brace over the engine, but this one isn’t aluminum. It’s carbon fiber and 2 pounds lighter. Keeping with the weight-saving theme, all the TA’s badges are stickers. This might save half a pound, maybe. The TA’s as-tested weight is 3332 pounds. For comparison, the standard SRT Viper weighs 3343 pounds, and the GTS clocks in at 3362. The only special interior bit on the TA is orange contrast stitching.
Even though the 640-hp, 600-lb-ft, 8.4-liter monster V-10 is unchanged, the TA is the quickest Viper ever tested: 60 mph happens in a scant, ZR1-beating 3.3 seconds and the quarter mile in 11.3 seconds with a rip-snorting trap speed of 129.3 mph. For reference, the Viper GTS on Corsas needs 11.4 seconds at 128.7 mph, and the Corvette ZR1 takes 11.4 seconds at 128.8 mph. Braking from 60 mph takes just 94 feet, 1 foot longer than the GTS and 3 feet greater than the ZR1. Around the figure eight, the Viper broke into the 22s at 22.9 seconds, which means it’s not only the best-handling Viper ever seen (23.2 for the GTS), but it’s quicker than the ZR1 (23 seconds flat). In fact, 22.9 places the Viper TA at an all-time second place (tied with the Porsche GT2 RS) just behind the Corvette Z06, which ran 22.8 seconds. In terms of performance, the Viper TA is absolutely world-class
