Death Valley Break-in Road Trip - 2015 Dodge Viper GT Long-Term Road Test

As Dan mentioned, our 2015 Dodge Viper has a frustratingly long break-in period. 1,500 miles to be exact.

Well, frustratingly long if you're not me. I loves me a good break-in road trip. I like the long hours behind the wheel. I like that you can't stay at a certain speed for too long. I even like that you can't take full advantage of all the power. It keeps me from even needing the ol' radar detector.

There is no doubt in my mind that the people who work at Edmunds have the best jobs in the world. Being able to choose among a Viper, a classic Corvette and my personal favorite, an old Yugo, for road trips...if y'all get paid to do this job, I hope it's minimum wage.

I had forgotten about the Yugo already. Where are the posts on it?

If you follow the Edmunds Twitter feed there's all sorts of mini-commentary on the Yugo as well as links to Youtube videos. The Yugo Youtube videos are pretty amusing, especially the top speed run.
