The new coupe is touted as a "race ready" car.
Folks can complain about the styling or the power, or the weight, but I will be most disappointed if the coupe comes with the same oil pan as the other cars. As most of you know, if you take your car to the track, the stock oil pan won't pick up oil, and you end up with oil starvation.
People who track their SRT-10 end up having to buy a baffled, swing arm oil pan for their car.
I really can't understand why Dodge hasn't addressed this issue in the convertibles, (maybe they have, and I just don't know it) but if they are selling a coupe that is supposedly race ready (designed for people wearing helmets, with space for a roll bar etc. etc.) it will be a travesty if new owners have to go out and by a new oil pan before they can take their Viper to the track. Dodge really should have taken care of this already. Hopefully the new Coupe will be the impetus to solve this long outstanding and serious flaw.
