ASC isn't DC. I believe the majority of what they do is chop roofs off of cars and make them into convertibles. This concept is about as meaningful as the tasteless ricer crap that is at SEMA every year.

Ditto, having been to SEMA they are often "more show than go".

I would'nt dismiss the McLaren angle out of hand.
Howz about some more Hissstory !
MetalCrafters wasn't Dodge, but they built the first concept Viper.
An early engineer on Viper, and chief engineer on GTS-R, was Neil Hanneman.
After D-C, successful Chief stints at Saleen, and Ford-GT.
[I think I can brag now, he used a certain Viper parts vendor for some used parts on both early mule cars.]
Neil is now with.......

McLaren! SSSSnake DNA is now in the breed.
[ I could not say if he DID order.....But he has NOT ordered any below-radar Viper parts from me since McLaren DANG! ]

That company works on Chevy, Pontiac,etc.
They aren't DC, and it's more of a tuner car. And at todays standards, it's WAY behind where it needs to be for a tuner car!

I thought ASC was the company that produced and painted the entire body panels for the current Viper. Am I right? If I am this is a significant clue to what may be incredible weight reduction in the Gen 4.

along with making the roof(rt-10) and other panels for gen I and II, and many of the srt-10 panels(painted)

ASC does indeed build many of the current Viper body panel parts, so I wouldn't dismiss this out of hand. There are other interesting hints that should make this a car to watch in Detroit...

I hope this car makes it to the NY autoshow. Need to see what all the commotion is about.

ASC also has/had a big part in the SRT-10 Ram pick-ups too!

Ditto that: ASC makes and paints most of the panels for the Viper. We (vca presidents) saw the tooling, the injection process, and the painting process as well. Check it out...

ASC is the company that masterminded the folding hardtop on my fabulous 95' Mitsu 3000 GT VR-4 SPYDER. Which looks and works great!
Wouldn't it would be incredible to have them put a folding hardtop (light weight version) on the upcoming Gen IV for track-use and open air rides all in one package. (With 600+ ponies of course.)
GO SRT + ASC!!

They sorta line up in a logical way... the front four point towards each other as does the rear four, while the center two point straight up. That said... I can't say I'm a fan of it either. I'm sure in a month, we'll get all the apologists that gets to see it report back with: "Pictures just don't do it justice."
0-60 @ 3.5: Impressive, but the ultra supercars nowadays are in the high 2's. Give me a flat 3 seconds, and I will buy it.

Why was the front lowered and the rear RAISED???? ********

Maybe they converted it to front wheel drive

The paint scheme is just to show off all the weight saving carbon fiber. They should have used a better color though like silver on teh previous Carbon concept or Gunmetal would have been perfect. Right now it has the look of a used cop car like in Blues Brothers.
If it where all the same color it would look better.
