Viper Quarterly
The official publication of the Viper Owners Association!
Viper Quarterly is the official magazine for the Viper Owners Association. Published since 2014, Viper Quarterly is the only magazine dedicated solely to the Dodge/SRT Viper. The front section features stories related to the Viper itself, while the back session is dedicated to VOA club events and information. This 48 page, high quality, color, glossy magazine has won numerous awards for its stories and layouts.
The editor of Viper Quarterly is Maurice Liang, Founding President of the Viper Owners Association, who is an expert on Vipers, having covered them as a journalist for their entire life as well as authoring several books – The Viper Buyers Guide, SRT Viper – America’s Supercar Returns, and Viper – 25 Years of Hisssstory. Liang is also an award-winning automotive photographer with a library of historical photos of the Viper.
All VOA members have access to the online version of Viper Quarterly through their membership portal, while VOA MAMBA members receive a glossy color hardcopy magazine as well. Subscriptions for non-members are available.
In an age where the shelf life of a story is around two days on the internet, Viper Quarterly is a collectible publication that will act as reference material for years to come.
*Viper Quarterly didn’t win just one or two awards, it won a staggering FOURTEEN awards in the International Automotive Media Competition including Best Automotive Publication.
