    New "first drive" article

    Regarding the sepia colored interior, it's hard to know if a flash was used in which case it may have altered the tone a little. The shot of the cars with and without stripes is pretty telling. The stripes do look good after all.

    Gun Metal and hyper Black sidewinders: the wheels are not black and the previous pictures of the yellow SRT had the matte black wheels.

    New Video (engine revs)

    I like it! - Funny, it has a raspy characteristic to it similar to a V8 when the exhaust has been modified. Kind of like the exhaust mod performed on the LS7.

    Top Gear (UK) is testing the new Viper

    Hey the Brits were tough as nails during the 2nd world war and will always be a friend regardless. Blood is thicker than water. That goes for the Canadians as well.

    Eight new Vipers at Sonoma Raceway!

    Three cars below the bar of soap, is that GTS blue? If so, it looks pretty dark. Why do I ask, because I'm trying gauge the accuracy of the gun metal. Is it actually lighter under different lighting.

    The Inevitable!

    One of BMWs marketing strategies was that it would never sell a turbo charged BMW/M car. This was a selling point against the Audi. They claimed that the NA delivery was more linear and gas mileage was superior. BMWs high performance cars now sport twin turbo charged engines producing HP and TQ...

    The Inevitable!

    Whoops my bad, as they say. It is going to be a 6.2 L and it will produce at least 450 hp, so the speculation is that it will produce HP in the vicinity of 450-480. Optimists hope it will produce closer to 500 HP. Their reasoning is when the base C6 came out it produced 400 HP while the outgoing...

    The Inevitable!

    I had an opportunity to meet and talk to Dick Winkles, head of engine development for Viper a couple of months ago and he said that they still hadn't met CARB standards. He said he felt that Chrysler was being held to a higher standard than other manufacturers producing V10s and V12s; i.e...

    Top Gear (UK) is testing the new Viper

    The term American muscle car is such a mis characterization. Muscle car implies a heavy car with great acceleration and crappy handling. They are bound to find something wrong with it, but it doesn't mean it's not accurate...we'll have to see.

    Top Gear (UK) is testing the new Viper

    That would be helpful. Regardless, the review will be much more extensive than what we will get here. For the most part our automotive journalists are amateurish in their writing skills, superficial in their assessment and undeniably biased. lol

    Gas guzzler is $2600, for those curious

    So the gas mileage is actually better than forecasted.

    Updated drive SRT Viper information page

    What I'd like to know is if the interior pictures are a realistic portrayal. All of he interiors look awfully good, but something tells me it has something to do with the lighting as well.

You can now compare all of the interior options; however, still no information or pictures of...

    Running order set - Petit Le Mans 2012

    Huge improvement and very competitive.

    Just got a real drive and ride in a Gen 5.

    The dash in the SRT is leather but cannot be ordered with contrasting stitching. You can however order the leather seats as an option. At least that's my understanding of the information on Drive SRT.

    My two nit picks on the Gen5

    Not much to pick on, though they could have been more creative with the rear diffuser. Especially since there is no exhaust piping to contend with.
