Dodge Viper vs. Infiniti G37x Review

Utility
Drivers with frequent child-duty might favor the Infiniti G37x over the Dodge.

Performance
With that kind of horsepower, both the Dodge Viper and the Infiniti G37x are legitimate speedsters. When it comes to horsepower, the Dodge Viper packs quite a punch and will knock the Infiniti G37x down a few rungs. However, keep in mind that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Dimensions
Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Infiniti G37x than the Dodge because of its bigger tank. The Dodge Viper and the Infiniti G37x compete for the same parking spaces. The Dodge Viper's shorter wheelbase will give a nimbler feel in daily traffic. On the other hand, the G37x is likely to have a smoother, more stable ride.

Convenience
You'll most certainly have to take the Dodge Viper for a fill-up more often than the G37x because of its tank size and gas mileage.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs approximately the same to get the G37x to the dealership as the Dodge Viper. Regarding gas mileage, the Infiniti G37x has the Dodge Viper beat. The Infiniti G37x won't save you much money at the pump compared to the Dodge Viper. With respect to MSRP, the Infiniti G37x costs tremendously less than the Dodge.

Handling
With its tighter turning radius, the Infiniti G37x is definitely more maneuverable than the Dodge Viper, something to consider if you do a lot of city driving; on the other hand, note that a vehicle with a tight turning circle may feel a bit twitchy on the highway.

Drivetrain
The Dodge's engine is tremendously more massive than the Infiniti G37x's. Keep in mind that bigger engines may use more gas than smaller ones. Torque equals pickup, and the Dodge Viper will have picked up and gone by the time the Infiniti finally gets moving. The G37x could learn a lesson or two from the Dodge as far as pickup.

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

Warranty
The basic warranty that comes with the Dodge Viper isn't quite as generous as the Infiniti G37x's.
