Yes it would be nice to see that inventory on lots sell-off so the focus can fully shift to verts, auto's, SC's or whatever they have planned for the snake.
Yes but is the Hellcats tranny compatible with the Viper platform? If not then they have buy/build one that can fit the Vipers layout hence my comment above about testing and why we may not see one in the Viper before G6.
You would be surprised to see what the high-end Porsche/McLaren/Ferrari crowd are saying about the old ZR1 and now the new Z06. Quite a few P1, 12c, Ferrari owners are raving about it and are planning to purchase it as daily drivers. Chevy will sell these Z06's to the usual target audience of...
It can't be too long in the future before the Viper gets some sort of auto/dct box that can handle its torque. Hopefully, for those that want a Viper but want/need the auto, this could possibly happen towards the end of the Gen 5's life span but probably more likely in the Gen 6 model.
Now to...
Yes it appears that it is not a "needed" option so much for track dominance but for the Porsche-like crowd many want those bells and whistles.
Its similar to the HP/Ltr nonsense that have caused many forum fights lol between the fans of the newer hardware vs fans of cars like the Vette/Viper...
LOL.....You said that last line with certain relish....Point taken lol. But you'd be cooler with CCB's :D Nice vid as usual. Thx for sharing. Stay safe.
Thanks for those links. That really sounds like the Chevy Auto will be a serious alternative to a DCT setup. I also heard it is lighter than the DCT boxes. They said the GM 8 speed auto is also smoother than the DCT's. Gotta love technology.
Eliphaz here. Its interesting that you said they sell their transmissions. Im sure Fiat knows this but I wonder if they would go that route for the Vipers sake?
LOL...Yes technology has re-written what we should expect from cold hard numbers on a sheet. For instance, on paper there is no way a Porsche TT S should be neck and neck with a car like the Viper which has 80+ more hp and is quite a bit lighter than the Porsche TT S as well. But that AWD and...
I doubt we will see a DCT in this gen Viper but 770+hp will be nice. Dodge knows how to make the Viper dominant handling-wise so I'm not overly worried about the added weight of the SC.
LOL thats actually cool if they gave the Viper's V10 the "Hell" treatment. A 800-907hp HellSerpent or whatever....
Two very cool additions in the SRT lineup....Interesting that the Hell Charger is faster than even the unrestricted big dog AMG saloon...Now that is bragging rights. Sadly I'm...
Its not head to head but interesting stat that race car driver to race car driver none of the hipo Porsches are within a second of the GTS much less the TA :D
My argument is from the standpoint that Fiat/Dodge/SRT really took it there and actually tried to compete with that crowd and it failed. So if they truly want to compete as they say they do then spend the money. If not then they need to figure out what a lot of us did way back before launch...
Really? I thought they were near sold out. I am actually surprised by that and it got great press both in the mags and the internet. So the TA gets great reviews and still hasn't sold out though they were limited editions. That doesn't make me feel good about the cars future at all.
It seems to me that there are only two options for Fiat:
Leave the Viper the way it is, which will end in the death of the program OR release some real R&D money into the program and let the car become a real threat to Porsche since this was obviously one of the corporate goals with the G5...
I'm confused. Cheap plastic interior "IS" the Vipers lineage. The G5 broke from that lineage. So going back to cheap interior "would" be in harmony with the Vipers lineage. I don't want them to do that however. I love the G5's interior and I think future Vipers should evolve from the...
