That's the first Viper I've ever wanted...
I have to say I'm surprised to see Dodge make something like this and I hope it reflects a move towards cars that can actually handle corners.
The "only" 600hp statement bothers me a bit. This motor will abolutely wake up with intake, headers, exhaust, and a tune. I would be shocked if it couldn't make 650hp with just those mods.
A very cool ride indeed.

The 'only' 600 is hp is a joke because viper dorks are complaining because it only has the same HP as the standard coupe. They are missing the point of all the track goodies.

if that car had 400 hp it would still be a badass track car.
if this wasnt from a reputable source i would think that article was too good to be true. 1000 freaking lbs of downforce? (mister slave voice) ooooooh jesus christ.

The thing is, I would bet money that 99% of the people whining about how it "only" has 600 horsepower have never driven anything with 450+ horsepower...

that is NOT efficient. you would think with all that displacement, youd get more power.
the s2000 has a hp/liter ratio of 120/1 ..... if the viper shared the same efficiency, it would have roughly 996 hp!

yeah but only 600 hp out of a whopping 8.3 liters that is NOT efficient.

When I'm getting pulled by 350Z's, what comes to mind isn't "well, hah!, my engine is more efficient than yours!!" or "I get better gas mileage than you!!", or "my seatbelt is more comfortable than yours!" ---> all trivial
HP per Liter is a ricer's way to save dignity after he gets his ass handed to him.
