Older vipers had a CD around .42-.5 depending on if the top was on or off, .42 was the coupe. When I say older I'm only talking 2002.
To put that into comparison; Thirdgen camaro .34, C5 and C6 are .28, 2002 Ford mustang GT .36, Dodge Dakota club cab 4x4 .52 . In otherwords, if it weren't for the relatively low frontal SA the viper would need a lot more horespower than an f-body to reach X speed. And it does, look at the top speeds of the vipers compared to vehicles with less horsepower. I just did a google and found that the 2004 and newer vipers are getting to 190mph with 500hp, that means they've dramatically lowered the drag because that's exactly what the c6 z06 is doing with the same hp! Although the new viper is ugly as sin, give me an older one ANYDAY just not red with yellow 3-spoke wheels because WTF was that, a rolling McDonald's ad?
