Less than a zr1, talk about getting bang for your buck these days

That thing is SICK looking... better than expected.

reminds me of the 1996 Hennessey Venom Kit (minus the massive spoiler)

You can hear it run in this Jay Leno's at around the 11 minute mark. Just the start and idle, but it sounds pissed for sure.

 

[tvdang7]

uh..... this looks like the same as the first viper. boring over a decade later.

Splooge, really that sounds so angry, like it's unleashing small bits of hell with every press of the gas.

 

[ProchargeMe]

I'm just glad they finally modernized the design.

 

[Sulaco]

Gorgeous.

I'm just glad they finally modernized the design.

they could gave kept the old body and updated the underpinnings and interior and I'd still like it.

 

[Fenixgoon]

in a way, it reminds me of chewbacca

but god when they started it up in jay's garage, i got started, haha. this car is gonna be f'in great.

 

[manimal]

I like everything about it except the headlights.


If a V8 Viper existed in the low 40k region I wonder how many they would sell? If it had the mustang GT v8 or even the Gt500s engine in the low 50s I bet it would be amazing.

How heavy is it supposed to be? Only skimmed article on my phone.

 

[chimaxi83]

I believe I heard 3300 pounds.

 

[Viper GTS]

More like 3150 for the base model if the Autoblog 4.9lb/hp number is right.

The GTS will be higher.

I hate the fact that they're only making 150 of the launch edition. That will make them hard to come by. Original GTS models in blue/white are hard enough and they made over 2800 of them.

Everyone else seems to be quoting 3300-3400.

 

[Viper GTS]

Appears to be dry vs curb weight:

Wow, all sorts of wrong.

Why on earth would Dodge put Ford engines in their cars?

*If* such a thing were to exist, it wouldn't really be a Viper anymore....

It would also probably end up around $80k.

It would also have the 6.4L engine Dodge has that, while using more fuel, puts out 15% more power than Ford's 5.0. It weighs slightly more, but not by a lot as it's a pushrod engine (just like the real Viper engine) instead of a DOHC engine like the Ford.

In what world do you think that the V10 alone adds $60k to the price of the car?

 

[LTC8K6]

They had a V-8 Viper...sort of

[exdeath]

No power upgrade + more weight than last Gen? Hmm...

 

[nerp]

Nice. Plan on picking one up in a year or two.

 

[TakeNoPrisoners]

I wonder how much HP a supercharger could add to that motor without any internal mods.
