    Viper powered supercar...

    would D/C outsoursce the Viper engine for an indie supercar project? such as the McLaren was "powered by BMW", the new car could be "powered by Viper"? just curious if this has ever come up in conversation. would they even consider entering in to a business arrangement of such? pit

    SL55 AMG retractable hardtop for the SRT

    why wasn't this done? you would think that with all of the prevelant product sharing between mercedes and chrysler that they could have found a way to do this in the Viper. i think that the SL55's hardtop is absolutely beautiful. makes it genuinely look like a coupe when it's up. was weight...

    Remark from Ford GT chief program engineer...

    i agree that PVO is simply biding their time to evaluate the real effect of the GT as well as the new C6 corvette. THEN we will see our beloved coupe. and if their smart, with a new international killer called the GTS/R to match...back to LeMans my friends, back to LeMans... pit

    0-100-0 in 12.17 seconds and no one is talking about it?

    t-monster: EXACTLY! exploit every resource that you have under the mighty DC umbrella! and with the connections, how about stealing gordon murray and the McLaren crew to help develop the car as well, like you said, and make it be Lord Of The 'Ring!!! it already is for the 'Ring 24 Hours...

    need early GTS concept sketches...

    hey guys...a few months back in the VIPER mag, there was the big article about the designing of the new SRT-10 and it showed a bunch of different sketches of possible designs for the car. are there any existing photos of sketches from when the GTS came out? i am working on something and would...

    Super Viper

    in many respects, daffy, i completely agree with you. perhaps they could all have V10's, but of varying degrees of size and "techness" to them. how bout a HEMI V10, 'eh? and i notice that you mention the lamborghini, t-master, but also note that the new porsche carrera GT has a V10, as well...

    Super Viper

    sounding good to me j. i could go on about this stuff all day! you did forget one thing though. the race cars. a new Viper GTS-R sold as customer cars to whoop up on the GTS competition, and a full factory backed Viper GTP that brings home the overall LeMans victory! sigh...(dreaming)... pit

    Super Viper

    great points about the CC t-master. i am curious how you all feel about the concept of a mid-engined Viper, though. i read that mr. gilles (on the design team for the SRT) mentioned that when chrysler was looking to go GT1 racing, they explored and did some work on a mid-engined Viper. he...

    Super Viper

    sorry i got held away from this conversation so long! great input EVERYONE! jkermode...i'm glad you like the idea i was talking about regarding the Viper becoming it's own brand. and i was definetely talking about there being more than just one car. i also heartily agree with t-monsters view...

    Super Viper

    what about "evolving" the current Viper motor into a V12? what would be the pros and cons? would we keep the same displacement? just a thought to keep the creative juices flowin'... pit

    'outta Dodge...The Viper As It's Own Brand...

    \'outta Dodge...The Viper As It\'s Own Brand... this was being mentioned in the "super Viper" post in the SRT/VGX forum, but i thought that it perhaps deserved to be opened op for insight on it's own merit...here is what i posted originally, followed by a rebuttle post by jkermode, which i also...

    Super Viper

    thanks for the layout j. and i'm glad you appreciated my take. i think that what you were saying about "spreading the wealth" of the Viper may also have just as equal a chance to be successful. in fact, there are things about your model that i like more than my own. i'll comment more later...

    Super Viper

    an interesting sentance was made and got me thinking..."would people pay Ferrari money for a Dodge?...". perhaps not when you put it like that. but here is where the potential blasphemy comes in...ready? what if it's time for DC to cut the perverbial umbilical cord? yes, i mean make Viper...

    Super Viper

    WCKDVPR, thanks for the congrats...i'm still in total euphoria!!! now to the situation at hand...as far as the powerplant, remember that while the smaller standard F1 type wngines would have "less" sex appeal, two of them mated to form a 7.0 W20 would (like the Veyron's engine...a great choice...

    Super Viper

    wanna go super? using your F1 engine idea, why not mate two of them together? a 6.0 to 7.0 lt. "W20" engine with over a thousand horsepwer, still being lightweight! i have said before that i think that the DC empire should get together and build a SuperViper that is a mid-engined, carbon...

    Vote to build the coupe

    i agree...and they need to be fully prepared to take the car RACING. and i mean for real, as in LeMans, ALMS, FIAGT, etc. we need the new Viper's presence in what is a very quickly budding GTS grid... pit

    mr. fernandez's "SuperViper"

    Re: mr. fernandez\'s \"SuperViper\" or while i'm dreaming...a joint dodge/mercedes effort to put DC at the top of the supercar world with an AMG/PVO V10 in the rear; gull wing; with styling being a cross between Viper GTS/R Concept and CLK GTR...a carbon tubbed harbringer of victory dubbed the...

    mr. fernandez's "SuperViper"

    Re: mr. fernandez\'s \"SuperViper\" thanks for the carrot, steve...;-) my version of the super Viper? a carbon tubbed V10 beast that had the looks of the GTS/R concept, but with gull wing doors, and formed the basis of the next LeMans/ALMS winner...perhaps with the engine (gasp! whisper-)...
