Dodge Viper vs. BMW 650 Review

Performance
Regarding horsepower, the Dodge Viper packs quite a wallop and will knock the BMW down a few rungs. However, remember that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums. With that kind of horsepower, both the Dodge Viper and the 6 Series are genuine speedsters.

Handling
The Dodge Viper has tremendously bigger tires than the BMW 6 Series. Note that wider tires may look and feel better, while smaller tires might improve gas mileage. With their similar turning circles, the BMW 6 Series and the Dodge definitely handle roughly the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The BMW 6 Series's engine is tremendously smaller than the Dodge Viper's. Remember that smaller engines can be stressed more; on the other hand, smaller engines are often cheaper to fix. The BMW 6 Series could learn a lesson or two from the Dodge Viper as far as torque. The Dodge Viper packs quite a wallop compared to the BMW 6 Series in terms of torque, which is roughly equivalent to acceleration.

Utility
The BMW's larger trunk will accommodate more large objects than the Dodge Viper. The BMW 6 Series will indubitably prove friendlier than the Dodge Viper for those of you with frequent kid-cargo.

Convenience
The Viper's fuel tank will need to be replenished more often than the unit in the 6 Series. You'll definitely have to take the Dodge Viper for a fill-up more often than the BMW 6 Series because of its tank size and gas mileage.

Comfort
Taller drivers will considerably enjoy the extra head room in the BMW 6 Series's front cabin compared to the Dodge Viper.

Dimensions
The BMW 6 Series is substantially heavier than the Dodge Viper. The Dodge Viper and the BMW 6 Series compete for the same parking spaces. The Dodge Viper's shorter wheelbase may produce a less-settled highway ride but a more maneuverable feel in daily traffic than the BMW 6 Series.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. The 6 Series is considerably cheaper to get to the dealership than the Dodge. When it comes to gas mileage, the BMW 6 Series has the Dodge Viper beat. Producing a precise gas mileage evaluation is so tough that some think not even the federal government can do it, but it looks as though the BMW 6 Series is the winner with respect to gas mileage. When it comes to MSRP, the Dodge Viper costs approximately as much as the BMW 6 Series (though the BMW 6 Series is a bit cheaper). The Dodge Viper will cost you a bundle in gas every year compared to the 6 Series.

Overview
The basic warranty that comes with the Dodge Viper isn't quite as generous as the BMW 6 Series's.
