600 hp 600 lb/ft torque on the SRT...
Looks good overall except for the bottom grill. Aftermarket grill would be a first modification for SRT viper buyers.

I like the interior much better now, but I'm not digging the overall design... looks too soft IMO.

Well, considering the current climate and oil prices they had to be conservative. Props to them for not going overboard.

I think they took the snake theme a little too far.

Got a chance to look at the pics on a decent monitor. I like the interior, "eh" on the exterior. Although vipers tend to look better in person.
3300 lbs and an 8.3L motor...will be interested to see the weight distribution and how it handles.

If you drive any car like a bish, then it will get decent gas mileage. Drive it like a sports car, and it will get terrible mileage. Who cares about gas mileage in a viper? LOL...

Yah but my point is that it doesn't actually get that gas mileage and give 600HP...If you push the car to max horsepower, the gas mileage is terrible... I drove from PA to SC and got 21mpg in my M3. I drive on the back roads around my house and can't get 10mpg. Why get a monster like this if you drive slow? I'm confused...

Doesn't gearing have a lot to do with MPG's as well. I always thought that was kind of a stupid trick with the vipers and some other cars. Just throw a tall ass gear on the end and then bam, they can say great gas mileage for what it is. The old vipers always felt like they were geared for 330 mph lol

Yep - a little Alfa & Maserati. I guess Fiat told the designers to pen some design traits from some of their other lines...
Kudos for remaining NA -it's a big arse "bus engine" though ![]() "Can't front" I like it - Dodge's version of the 8C - sort of ![]()
