[[TagLine Domestic, not Domesticated]]. Dodge is a proud American car brand, known for their big, mighty and very loud cars loaded with lots of power, muscle and boldness.
In fiction, Dodge has been used very ubiquitously in Hollywood and its many American works, ranging from the UsefulNotes/AmericanLawEnforcement in their Dodge Monaco and Charger sedans, to the daring and the dangerous who loves breaking rules with a classic Dodge Charger, Challenger or even Viper, or something just practical like the Ram... unless one character makes it a venerable screaming monster.

->''"This pickup is more reliable than some friends of yours. It's also a great listener."''
-->--'''Description''', ''VideoGame/FarCry5''
Dodge has a huge history of pickup trucks, but the one the grew popularity amongst the masses in America is none other than the Ram pickup truck.
It was originally the '''[[MarketBasedTitle Dodge Ram]]''', which was the brand's series of light trucks when it was introduced in 1980 after retiring and rebadging the aging Dodge D-series, with its signature "Ram" emblem reintroduced since 1954, it also defines as Dodge's new logo of 1993. It's offered in either a regular full-sized pickup, a medium chassis cab or a heavy-duty truck with ''six wheels''. Usually, Rams use LA/Magnum/HEMI V8 engines, but also inline-6 diesel engines built by Cummings.
A high-performance variant called the Dodge Ram SRT-10 was unveiled in 2004, based on the standard third-generation Ram 1500, with about 10,000 units produced. Under the hood would be powered by the same V10 engine as the Dodge Viper powered with about 500 hp. It's arguably the fastest pickup truck to date, reaching speeds of 154 mph (248 km/h).
In 2010, Ram would go to be its own brand, while bringing the Ram logo alongside them, forcing Dodge to change their logo, using two red inclined stripes. (which would be signature stripes on its front fenders)

[[AC:Film -- Live Action]]
* While pickup trucks are extremely common for UsefulNotes/AmericanLawEnforcement, it's unusual why the Special Investigation Section would use a high-performing Ram Rebel TRX as one of its fleet in ''Film/{{Ambulance}}''...
* Let's face it. Machine Gun Joe's 2004 Dodge Ram from ''Film/DeathRace'' is pretty ''[[CoolCar bad-ass]]''. Comes with MacrossMissileMassacre [[MoreDakka and lots of]] GatlingGood galore on his WeaponizedCar.
* A Dodge Ram pickup was used in the hands of {{Mooks}} [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adVeyxrjGZM to chase down John [=McClane=] at one]] ChaseScene of ''Film/DieHardWithAVengeance''. The chase concludes with [=McLane=] by ''[[{{Pun}} ramming]]'' the Ram and forcing it off the road at the cost of their Mercedes.
* Dodge Rams are the [[CarFu battering rams]] that [[{{Pun}} rams]] through ''Franchise/TheFastAndTheFurious'':
** Several custom Ram pickups were shown ambushing the police and literally ''ramming'' them, as means of distraction while allowing many street racers to escape undetected in ''Film/TwoFastTwoFurious''.
** Luke Hobbs runs the "Ice Ram" in ''Film/TheFateOfTheFurious''. It's not an ordinary Ram though, but it uses ice treads instead of wheels, allowing him to drive through ice and snow [[spoiler:whilst stopping the Russian submarine from launching nuclear missiles during the climax]].
* The 1981 Dodge Ram made it all the way to the 2011 ''Film/{{Footloose}}'' remake, used in one ChaseScene.
* The rusty old Ram Heavy Duty would be considered the not-so-InvincibleClassicCar for a 2067 setting, owned by former NASA astronaut Joseph Cooper from ''Film/{{Interstellar}}'', which the car is about a half a century old that's sitting on an eroding Earth.
* A Ram 1500 Rebel is the truck ''Film/{{Logan}}'' use wherever they go and escort Laura [[spoiler:(X-23)]] to the American-Canadian border for refuge, while escaping from the eyes of Donald Pierce the militant Reavers, who ''even use Ram 1500 trucks''. Because... [[EverybodyOwnsAFord Everyone in the film owns FIAT Chrysler automobiles]].[[note]]Or Stellantis automobiles as of 2021.[[/note]]
* {{Everybody Owns A|Ford}} Ram pickup as part of a ProductPlacement deal with Stellantis for the film ''Film/MonsterTrucks'', two being also monster trucks driven by main characters.
* The 2012 remake of ''Film/{{Red Dawn|2012}}'' effectively replaces Jed Eckert's Chevy K-10 Cheyenne from the [[Film/RedDawn1984 original]] with a 1991 Dodge Ram.
* Everybody knows that ''Film/{{Twister}}'' treats the iconic Dodge Ram 2500 as TheAllegedCar [[spoiler:that got sucked into an F-5 tornado]]. At least in the sequel ''Film/{{Twisters}}'', it treats the Ram pickup as the CoolCar of Tyler used for his storm chasing.
* It's a sick looking custom Dodge quad cab owned by Booth from the 2004 ''Film/{{Walking Tall|2004}}'' remake, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgPFY77wTaY which Ray and Chris try to get him to talk]] by [[InterrogationByVandalism forcibly strip off his pickup truck piece by piece]] with a power saw. [[spoiler:It's agonizing, yet it doesn't work.]]
[[AC:Live-Action TV]]
* Can be seen extremely often throughout ''Series/ArmyWives''.
* This is both Antonio Dawson's and Jay Halstead's truck in ''Series/ChicagoPD'' Another example of a Ram has this [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVqiW1UDTk4 perp]] turn a CarChase into an explosion due to a truck carrying volatile acetones. Eat your heart out, Creator/MichaelBay.
* A blue 3/4 ton long box [=4x4=] Ram club cab is the truck of Inspector Evan Cortez of ''Series/NashBridges''.
* A red 1986 Dodge Ram is the Kent family's farm truck owned by Jonathan Kent in ''Series/{{Smallville}}'', which Clark recklessly totaled it. ''Twice''. Insurance must be a total pain for him.
-->'''Sheriff Adams:''' Well, Mr. Kent, your family sure has its way of going through vehicles.
* Since Castiel had been driving numerous cars throughout ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'', he used a silver Dodge Ram SRT-10 as his transportation throughout seasons 14 and 15.
* This is Jason Stackhouse's truck used throughout ''Series/TrueBlood''. A black Dodge Ram 1500 cab.
* ''The'' official car ever known of ''Series/WalkerTexasRanger'' is the iconic 1995 Dodge Ram 1500. A [[CoolCar cool truck]] that perfectly suits with the character played by the legend himself, Creator/ChuckNorris!
* As an example of emphasizing the Ram name as a huge ProductPlacement, there's lots of Ram Heavy Duty pickup trucks acting as the ranch's vehicles and owned by the Duttons of ''Series/{{Yellowstone}}''.
[[AC:Music]]
* Emerging from the start of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgtaSJ3PSMM Beep Beep]]" by Music/{{BTOB}}, comes the boys rolling in their AceCustom Ram that steals most of the spotlight... with a HotPaintJob for added flare!
* Music/CharliXCX love to [[NeverTrustATitle lie about the title]] "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKBCLHAq1do White Mercedes]]", where obviously, there's ''no'' Mercedes to show. Instead, she rides atop of a white Ram monster stuck with her pink fluffy ballgown flowing with the speed.
* A Ram 1500 TRX would be the star cruising truck Music/{{Nelly}} and the Music/FloridaGeorgiaLine use in the song "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTYXd__nbvo Lil Bit]]".
[[AC:Video Games]]
* ''VideoGame/AlanWake'' can drive this Ram-based Bright Falls Light & Power Pickup throughout episode 3. Except for one cutscene where it's an ObviousStuntDouble for another pickup based on another brand. Chevy S-10 to be exact.
* This mighty aggressor, the Hunter Takedown [=4x4=] in ''VideoGame/BurnoutParadise'' uses a Dodge Ram as the basis.
* Meet El Machismo, that larger than life off-road racing pickup truck with NoIndoorVoice from ''Characters/CarsRaceORama'', who is based on the [[BadassBoast bigger than big, badder than bad]] Dodge Ram. And that Macho Ram is even voice by the late Wrestling/MachoManRandySavage!
* Rams are a perfect off-road truck for Landrush events in ''VideoGame/{{DIRT}} 2''. First, there's the Power Wagon, with its livery by default [[WearingAFlagOnYourHead that screams America]]. Jayde Taylor uses this with her unique livery. And finally Dodge Ram Trophy Truck for the... "Trophy Truck" category, used by Tanner Foust.
* The final mission of ''VideoGame/DriverSanFrancisco'' [[spoiler:puts [[BigBag Charles Jericho]] in a black Dodge Ram SRT-10, while making his desperate attempt to escape from John Tanner.]] [[spoiler:Then at the warehouse, Jericho tries to ''[[{{Pun}} ram]]'' Tanner during the warehouse standoff... ...before he got [[DeusExMachina sideswiped and incapacitated by Tobias Jones in a Police interceptor]].]]
* Want a reliable American pickup that even screams America? Then the 1981 Dodge Ram-based Hillside 1600 is the truck you can use in ''VideoGame/FarCry5''. There's even a sportier 1600-M, which is akin to the real life 1981 Dodge Power Ram.
* The Ram Rebel TRX Concept is where you get ATasteOfPower during the opening of ''VideoGame/ForzaHorizon 4's Fortune Island'' expansion, and you get to keep it, too.
* The bulkiest juggernaut you can ever get is that HEMI quad cab in ''VideoGame/GranTurismo 4''. Perfect for Arcade Mode and Family Cup, even on the ''hardest difficulty'' [[FakeDifficulty where the AI use pathetically slow cars]] (such as a Honda S800 or Daihatsu Midget). You get easy 200 A-spec points with this truck.
* One of Ryback's racing truck of ''VideoGame/SplitSecond2010'' is the RAM 1500-based Ryback Thunder.
* This happens to a Dodge Ram pickup when it became an InstantConvertible in the ''InteractiveMovie'' Wirehead.

Originally a Chrysler sports car, the Dodge Viper is an American supercar introduced in 1992.
Unlike its fellow American sports cars that mostly utilize V8 engines, the Viper on the other hand gets its source of power from a 8.0L OHV V10 combined with a six-speed manual transmission. One source of it is that the engine block was produced in cooperation with Lamborghini, allowing this power plant to deliver over 400 horsepower.
The early version, the RT/10 was originally a sports targa before shifting into a liftback coupe in 1996. In 2002, the Viper saw a major overhaul courtesy of Dodge's performance division, Street & Racing Technology (SRT), renamed the Viper SRT-10.
In 2012, the final generation was introduced, with a fully redesigned body and added new driving aids in order to comply with modern vehicle safety standards. It was marketed as the '''SRT Viper''' in 2013 before it was renamed back to Dodge Viper two years later.

-->--'''Creator/JeremyClarkson''', reading the safety warning on the Viper, ''Series/TopGearUK''
Originally a Chrysler sports car, the Dodge Viper is an American supercar introduced in 1992.
Unlike its fellow American sports cars that mostly utilize V8 engines, the Viper on the other hand gets its source of power from a 8.0L OHV V10 combined with a six-speed manual transmission. One source of it is that the engine block was produced in cooperation with Lamborghini, allowing this power plant to deliver over 400 horsepower.
The early version, the RT/10 was originally a sports targa before shifting into a liftback coupe in 1996. In 2002, the Viper saw a major overhaul courtesy of Dodge's performance division, Street & Racing Technology (SRT), renamed the Viper SRT-10.
In 2012, the final generation was introduced, with a fully redesigned body and added new driving aids in order to comply with modern vehicle safety standards. It was marketed as the '''SRT Viper''' in 2013 before it was renamed back to Dodge Viper two years later. At the same year, the Fiat Chrysler group [[note]]Currently as Stellantis in 2021[[/note]] announces its discontinuation of the Viper in 2017.

Dodge Vipers would also be widely used in Laguna Seca [[DrivingTest Driving Tests]].
* In every ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto'' from ''III'' onwards (except for ones where it'd be anachronistic), the Bravado Banshee appears as a parody of the Dodge Viper. For ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV'', the car was [[{{Defictionalization}} Defictionalized]] for a giveaway hosted by [=GameStop=].

** The last-gen SRT Viper GTS is one of the RCPD supercars of ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedRivals Rivals]]''. The [[{{DLC}} Ultimate Racer Pack]] gives racers of Redview a special Viper TA instead. This version of the Viper would be present in all its subsequent games.
* The second Advanced-level car in ''VideoGame/SanFranciscoRush'' is a first-generation Viper with double stripes.
* The Dodge Viper is a common car found in ''VideoGame/TestDrive'', whereas Viper GTS serves as the cover car for ''4'', ''5'' and ''6''.

[[folder:Dodge Challenger]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dodge_challenger.jpg]]
->'''Johnny:''' This one's not half-bad.\\
'''Daniel:''' It's a 2009 Challenger, 5.8-liter.\\
'''Johnny:''' 5.7.
-->--''Series/CobraKai''
The Dodge Challenger is the name of the brand's muscle car, and widely considered to be one of the PowerTrio amongst American pony cars alongside the Ford Mustang and the Chevrolet Camaro. The "challenger" name was derived from the 1959 Dodge Silver Challenger, a trim of the two-door Dodge Coronet.
The first-generation Challenger was introduced in the autumn of 1969 as a 1970 model year, which utilizes one of the two Chrysler E-body cars, with the other half being the smaller Plymouth Barracuda. Its first year has two different series; the Challenger and the Challenger R/T (Road/Track), which use a Slant-6 inline-6 and an LA/B/Hemi V8 engine respectively. A special edition Challenger T/A (Trans Am) was also available on the same year as a racing homologation car, similar to its [[TheRival rivals]] Camaro [=Z28=] and Boss 302 Mustang.
While the second-gen in 1978 is essentially a rebadged Mitsubishi Galant Lambada, the Challenger [[PutOnABus stopped production for a while]] in 1983.
In 2006, Dodge unveils the Challenger Concept as a preview for its third-generation, [[{{Retraux}} with designs adapted from the aforementioned 1970 Challenger R/T]]. On February 6, 2008, the Challenger is finally in its full-fledged production-ready model, with its high-performance Challenger [=SRT8=] making waves in the same year, utilizing a HEMI OHV V8 engine. In 2015, Dodge unveiled a high performance variant of the Challenger called the Challenger SRT Hellcat, equipped with a supercharged 6.2 L Hemi V8 at 707 horsepower, while in 2017 sees an even more extreme version, now called the Challenger SRT Demon rated with a whopping 808 hp. It acceleration is quite fast as it can go 0-60 in less than 3.6 seconds. Because of the lack of an NHRA certified roll cage, which is required if the quarter-mile time is under 10 seconds, the NHRA banned the SRT Demon from competition.

->''"We built a Charger 'idea' car which we displayed at auto shows in 1965 to stimulate market interest in the concept. It was the approved design but we told the press and auto show attendees that it was just an "idea" and that we would build it if they liked it. It was pre-ordained that they would like it."''
-->--'''Burt Bouwkamp''', Chief Engineer for Dodge during TheSixties, responsible behind the Dodge Charger.
TheSixties were booming in personal luxury and specialty cars. Chrysler, who was lagging behind in the market commissioned Dodge to enter the market with their mid-sized B-body fastback that would compete with the likes of the Ford Mustang and Ford Thunderbird. Based on the Dodge Coronet, the Dodge Charger, a mid-size muscle car made its debut in mid-1966. Differentiating from its rival models comes full-length center console and "all bucket seating" for both front and rear. Despite it, it wasn't intended to compete head-to-head with pony cars.
The Charger was entirely redesigned in 1968, to further distance it from the Dodge Coronet. The new body now featured coke bottle styling, curves around fenders and a "flying buttress" similarly used in the 1966-67 Pontiac GTO. A higher performance was added called the Charger R/T (short for Road/Track), fitted with a 426 cu in HEMI V8 engine, which would become Chrysler's top-of-the-line muscle car.
The third-generation Charger in 1971 merges its Coronet and Charger bodies in one model. The Super Bee also became part of the Dodge Charger lineup alongside variants carried over in its previous generation. Sales declined due to high insurance costs and gasoline prices. The fourth-generation Charger in 1975 see a miracle again in sales, and would later seize production in 1978, with the Dodge Magnum taking place as the Charger's successor.
The Charger name would be later re-introduced in 2005, this time as a full-size 4-door sedan.

The Charger name was [[TheBusCameBack finally revived in 2005 after 18 years]], first introduced during the year's North American International Auto Shot. This time, it's a full-size four door sedan, serving as the successor to the Dodge Intrepid. It's offered in either rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, usually in either an entry-level Magnum V6 engine to the powerful HEMI or even supercharged Hellcat V8. While being in its sedan body, the Charger retains its muscle car lineage from the original Dodge Charger from TheSixties and TheSeventies.
The first-generation is offered in either its entry Base model, an SXT rim which was the volume seller, its performance-oriented R/T and the top-of-the-line [=SRT8=]. Typically that generation is offered with a 5-speed manual transmission at its highest. The second-generation on the other hand includes most of the aforementioned variants, plus the almighty Charger SRT Hellcat, with its supercharged Hemi V8 engine producing 707 horsepower, it's capable of reaching 222 mph on Bonneville Salt Flats. Dodge claimed it was the fastest sedan ever produced.

->''"This is an open vehicle - drive carefully... [{{Beat}}] NO."''
-->--'''Creator/JeremyClarkson''', reading the safety warning on the Viper, ''Series/TopGearUK''
Originally a Chrysler sports car, the Dodge Viper is an American supercar introduced in 1992.
Unlike its fellow American sports cars that mostly utilize V8 engines, the Viper on the other hand gets its source of power from a 8.0L OHV V10 combined with a six-speed manual transmission. One source of it is that the engine block was produced in cooperation with Lamborghini, allowing this power plant to deliver over 400 horsepower.
The early version, the RT/10 was originally a sports targa before shifting into a liftback coupe in 1996. In 2002, the Viper saw a major overhaul courtesy of Dodge's performance division, Street & Racing Technology (SRT), renamed the Viper SRT-10.
In 2012, the final generation was introduced, with a fully redesigned body and added new driving aids in order to comply with modern vehicle safety standards. It was marketed as the '''SRT Viper''' in 2013 before it was renamed back to Dodge Viper two years later. At the same year, the Fiat Chrysler group [[note]]Currently as Stellantis in 2021[[/note]] announces its discontinuation of the Viper in 2017.

->'''Johnny:''' This one's not half-bad.\\
'''Daniel:''' It's a 2009 Challenger, 5.8-liter.\\
'''Johnny:''' 5.7.
-->--''Series/CobraKai''
The Dodge Challenger is the name of the brand's muscle car, and widely considered to be one of the PowerTrio amongst American pony cars alongside the Ford Mustang and the Chevrolet Camaro. The "challenger" name was derived from the 1959 Dodge Silver Challenger, a trim of the two-door Dodge Coronet.
The first-generation Challenger was introduced in the autumn of 1969 as a 1970 model year, which utilizes one of the two Chrysler E-body cars, with the other half being the smaller Plymouth Barracuda. Its first year has two different series; the Challenger and the Challenger R/T (Road/Track), which use a Slant-6 inline-6 and an LA/B/Hemi V8 engine respectively. A special edition Challenger T/A (Trans Am) was also available on the same year as a racing homologation car, similar to its [[TheRival rivals]] Camaro [=Z28=] and Boss 302 Mustang.
While the second-gen in 1978 is essentially a rebadged Mitsubishi Galant Lambada, the Challenger [[PutOnABus stopped production for a while]] in 1983.
In 2006, Dodge unveils the Challenger Concept as a preview for its third-generation, [[{{Retraux}} with designs adapted from the aforementioned 1970 Challenger R/T]]. On February 6, 2008, the Challenger is finally in its full-fledged production-ready model, with its high-performance Challenger [=SRT8=] making waves in the same year, utilizing a HEMI OHV V8 engine. In 2015, Dodge unveiled a high performance variant of the Challenger called the Challenger SRT Hellcat, equipped with a supercharged 6.2 L Hemi V8 at 707 horsepower, while in 2017 sees an even more extreme version, now called the Challenger SRT Demon rated with a whopping 808 hp. It acceleration is quite fast as it can go 0-60 in less than 3.6 seconds. Because of the lack of an NHRA certified roll cage, which is required if the quarter-mile time is under 10 seconds, the NHRA banned the SRT Demon from competition.

->''"We built a Charger 'idea' car which we displayed at auto shows in 1965 to stimulate market interest in the concept. It was the approved design but we told the press and auto show attendees that it was just an "idea" and that we would build it if they liked it. It was pre-ordained that they would like it."''
-->--'''Burt Bouwkamp''', Chief Engineer for Dodge during TheSixties, responsible behind the Dodge Charger.
TheSixties were booming in personal luxury and specialty cars. Chrysler, who was lagging behind in the market commissioned Dodge to enter the market with their mid-sized B-body fastback that would compete with the likes of the Ford Mustang and Ford Thunderbird. Based on the Dodge Coronet, the Dodge Charger, a mid-size muscle car made its debut in mid-1966. Differentiating from its rival models comes full-length center console and "all bucket seating" for both front and rear. Despite it, it wasn't intended to compete head-to-head with pony cars.
The Charger was entirely redesigned in 1968, to further distance it from the Dodge Coronet. The new body now featured coke bottle styling, curves around fenders and a "flying buttress" similarly used in the 1966-67 Pontiac GTO. A higher performance was added called the Charger R/T (short for Road/Track), fitted with a 426 cu in HEMI V8 engine, which would become Chrysler's top-of-the-line muscle car.
The third-generation Charger in 1971 merges its Coronet and Charger bodies in one model. The Super Bee also became part of the Dodge Charger lineup alongside variants carried over in its previous generation. Sales declined due to high insurance costs and gasoline prices. The fourth-generation Charger in 1975 see a miracle again in sales, and would later seize production in 1978, with the Dodge Magnum taking place as the Charger's successor.
The Charger name would be later re-introduced in 2005, this time as a full-size 4-door sedan.

->''"This is an open vehicle - drive carefully... [{{Beat}}] NO."''
-->--'''Creator/JeremyClarkson''', reading the safety warning on the Viper, ''Series/TopGearUK''
Originally a Chrysler sports car, the Dodge Viper is an American supercar introduced in 1992.
Unlike its fellow American sports cars that mostly utilize V8 engines, the Viper on the other hand gets its source of power from a 8.0L OHV V10 combined with a six-speed manual transmission. One source of it is that the engine block was produced in cooperation with Lamborghini, allowing this power plant to deliver over 400 horsepower.
The early version, the RT/10 was originally a sports targa before shifting into a liftback coupe in 1996. In 2002, the Viper saw a major overhaul courtesy of Dodge's performance division, Street & Racing Technology (SRT), renamed the Viper SRT-10.
In 2012, the final generation was introduced, with a fully redesigned body and added new driving aids in order to comply with modern vehicle safety standards. It was marketed as the '''SRT Viper''' in 2013 before it was renamed back to Dodge Viper two years later. At the same year, the Fiat Chrysler group [[note]]Currently as Stellantis in 2021[[/note]] announces its discontinuation of the Viper in 2017.

* The Muscle in ''VideoGame/{{Burnout}} 2: Point of Impact'' is clearly a Viper {{Expy}}, which would spawn in future sequels, such as the Modified/Dominator Muscle in ''3: Takedown''.
* A Dodge Viper pace car can be seen in the AttractMode of ''[[VideoGame/DaytonaUSA Daytona USA 2]]: [[UpdatedReRelease Power Edition]]''. The version seen in ''VideoGame/LikeADragonGaidenTheManWhoErasedHisName'', however, replaces it with a PaletteSwap of the game's usual stock car model.
* The Dodge Viper SR II is featured exclusively in the 1998 3D game ''Viper Racing''.
* ''VideoGame/{{Forza}}'': While it's common to see the Viper in various ''Forza Motorsport'' games, the 2012 Dodge Viper GTS would become the feature car in both the prologue and the cover art of the first installment of its spinoff ''Forza Horizon''.
* The Viper has been a mainstay of the ''VideoGame/GranTurismo'' series ever since the first game, being one of the popular choices for a DiscOneNuke car in most installments. Its racing variant, the Viper GTS-R Team Oreca is one of the iconic examples that gained popularity from the fanbase. Dodge Vipers would also be widely used in Laguna Seca [[DrivingTest Driving Tests]].
* In every ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto'' from ''III'' onwards (except for ones where it'd be anachronistic), the Bravado Banshee appears as a parody of the Dodge Viper. For ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV'', the car was [[{{Defictionalization}} Defictionalized]] for a giveaway hosted by [=GameStop=].
* The very first race of the first ''VideoGame/{{Grid}}'' game puts you in a Dodge Viper SRT-10 [[note]]Actually, a Hennessey Viper Venom 1000[[/note]] provided by Ravenwest (as featured on the cover), who have kindly lent you this car for your licensing race at San Francisco. The later games would use the 2013 Viper instead.
-->'''Engineer:''' Okay, [player name], you're in the Viper for this one. And with an 8 ½ litre, 500 brake horse [=V10=] under the hood, this car doesn't do subtle.
* The Infinity in ''VideoGame/HorizonChase'' resembles the 2003 Viper SRT-10. Its Portuguese tagline ''"Poeira. Levanta poeira"''[[labelnote:Translation]]Dust. Raises dust[[/labelnote]] refers to the song [[https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorte_Grande Sorte Grande]], by the famous Brazilian singer Ivete Sangalo.
* ''VideoGame/{{Juiced}}'' features the Viper GTS as ''bar none'' [[GameBreaker the most powerful car ever in the game]], even when it's fully upgraded. Perfect for sprint events if you want easy money, ''fast''. One of the body kits allow the Viper to resemble the Hennessey Viper Venom [=800TT=]. Its sequel adds this and the convertible SRT-10, both part of the League 2 supercars.
* ''VideoGame/MidnightClub II'' has the Dodge Viper GTS-R Concept as the "[[{{Fauxrrari}} Jersey XS]]", and is driven by Dice, the LA champ. The third game fully licensed the said concept Viper GTS-R, and despite being a Class B tuner for some odd reason, fully upgrade it and you'll be able to even beat Class A Exotics.
* Once you start ''NASCAR 2005: Chase for the Cup'', the game begins with [[https://youtu.be/PanAJzarvx0?feature=shared&t=59 you driving a Dodge Viper SRT-10 around New York as you race Ryan Newman, who is also in that identical Viper]]. And you haven't even gotten to all the stock-car racing experience yet!
* ''VideoGame/TheNeedForSpeed'' is the first game to ever feature the Viper, using the RT/10 Model. [[TheBusCameBack It later return]] in ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedHotPursuit Hot Pursuit 2]]'' but using the second-gen GTS model, both available for racers and cops.
** The Viper SRT-10 later appears in ''VideoGame/NeedForSpeedMostWanted'', and it's driven by [[AfroAsskicker JV]], #4 on the Blacklist.
** In ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedProStreet [=ProStreet=]]]'', an ''[[ProductPlacement Energizer Lithium]]'' edition is obtainable via CheatCode.
** One of GMAC's CoDragons [[AngryBlackMan Nickel]] in ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedUndercover Undercover]]'' drives a white facelifted Viper SRT-10 with black and green stripes.
** ''VideoGame/NeedForSpeedShift'' also included the Viper SRT-10, but with a hardtop roof by default. A ''[[ProductPlacement Coke Zero]]'' edition can be redeemable via promotional gift. While the Viper is retained in its sequel, the ''[[DownloadableContent Speedhunters Pack]]'' included the [[PimpedOutCar Twins Turbo Motorsport Viper GTS]], tuned by the Kozeluh Twins for the Standing Mile events, [[LightningBruiser and it can pretty do well in corners too]].
* The second Advanced-level car in ''VideoGame/SanFranciscoRush'' is a first-generation Viper with double stripes.
* The Dodge Viper is a common car found in ''VideoGame/TestDrive'', whereas Viper GTS serves as the cover car for ''4'', ''5'' and ''6''. In ''TD Overdrive'', the [[ImprobablyCoolCar Viper GTS-R Concept]] is the car of [[BigBad Vasily Raskolnikov]], [[spoiler:in which [[TrueFinalBoss Donald Clark]] sets [[PlayerCharacter Dennis Black]] up to beat him just to obtain the said Viper for his own personal gain.]]
** In ''VideoGame/TestDriveUnlimited 2'', the Viper is the choice of police car in both Ibiza and Hawaii departments, and you can get to drive this in Chase Mode.
* ''VideoGame/TokyoXtremeRacer'':
** Thunder Dragoon, who appear in ''2'', ''Zero'' and ''3'', are a team composed of Chinese immigrants who all drive Vipers of varying colors.
** Andrew Bergman, leader of Nagoya's Face to Faith, also drives a cyan Dodge Viper in ''3''.
** Remaining in Nagoya, the Viper is also the signature car of one of the city's strongest racers (and one of the game's bosses), "Flame Dragon" Makoto Abe: his is wrapped in dragon scale vinyls.

* The car Commander Kiva Andru in ''WesternAnimation/MegasXLR'' was driving looks like a blue/white striped second-gen Viper GTS, whilst escaping from the Glorfts. Coop having no time to get in jumps in the window, [[StuckInTheDoorway getting himself stuck]], because of his stout body.
