What\'s under the hood of the \'03?

I was watching the news last night, and they had a segment on the Detroit Suto Show.
Of course, I was anxiously awaiting the portion on the '03 Viper.
It was good coverage, and plenty of pics, but something they said made me do a double take.

V-What?!! V12?!! :eek:
Did these folks just have the wrong info, or read their cards wrong? I knew about the power increases, but this is the first I heard anything about a cylinder increase. And is the CID they mentioned correct? If so, I guess that Dodge either bumped the V10 from 488, or they did drop a few more cylinders in it.

Re: What\'s under the hood of the \'03?

I read that article about 3 days ago.
I am curious to know if it has the correct info though. Is it the V10 or a V12?
Thanks.
