This car is ridiculous. Its at least 20 years too late. No one in their right mind will buy an 8 litre sports car other than retired fat plumbers. They certainly won't have an Apple product (if they do Apple should take it off them as it will damage their brand). Now if it was a 3 litre 6 cylinder bi turbo, it might have a chance. Who approves this nonesense at these companies? They are like kids when you say 'don't do that' and they go and straight away do it again... bizarre.

for speed I find my Son's daily driver 2002 rsx type s Acura modded with a LSD (yes me installed) and computer mods to allow a 9,500 rpm shift point with headers and no cat to be more than adequate, this 8 litre monstrosity is a dinosaur from a GONE ERA on a road course the 2.0 litre Acura RSX would spank the penis impaired Viper driver or the decades old tech from twin turbo 2.7 Audi v-6. good luck correcting me, , I have a road for you to try, as in try to keep up.

You guys say why .. when the blokes at Chrysler are saying why not ... they have gone from being bankript to back in the black largely on the backs of cars like these, the rubicon jeeps etc .. nieche marketing .. .and come on 810 Nm of torque .. that just screams drift any corner you like. I love a high tech turbo .. but there is something about a big block as well ...

@Sydney & Bill
Look at the 2010 viper acr Nurburg ring time & 24 hours @ Le Mans 3year in a row win streak Then talk about performance!

Hmmm my first words, "Oooo that is pretty".... that is a good looking car.
Lovely paint job etc..
See if FUEL was totally unlimited, and there were NO environmental damage from extracting it, refining it, and using it - and it was like 10c a gallon.
And there were trans-state and national highways, that had more or less no speed limits...
And I had shit loads of money - I'd have one.
Not sure how long I'd end up living....
As much as force fed little 2 liter engines have going for them... there is something inherently wonderful about a HUGE hard running monster blue printed V8 engine... just idling at 100mph.
Kind of like comparing a steak sandwich to rice crackers.

the dash and steering wheel are VERY audi R8.
@Gee whiz
the vipers driven round the ring are specially set up by a team of dozens of professional engineers, specifically for the Nurburgring. The car you'd buy in a dealership would have little to do with the 'ring car.
It would have even less to do with a Le Mans racing car, which cost $500,000 and are almost completely stripped and rebuilt with bespoke components

Love everyone's opinions. However keep in mind that not everyone lives in Australia or the UK. There are PLENTY of people in the US and other places that will jump on that car..because they can, because they have tons of open road to travel on as well and because frankly, they prefer a big block noise to the pussy whine of a turbo

Apparently none of you have owned or driven a Viper. It's pure adrenalin, especially in the 90's. If you were an experienced driver, they handled great. They were difficult to drive on the street for newbies due to the overly stiff suspension and massive breaks without anti-lock. Bumpy roads were a handling problem but you know that going in. However, on a track, they were pure magic. It was a no-compromise car with emphasis on track. It didn't need any help on a track to pretty much dust anything on the planet at half the cost of any other SuperCar. It was a kit car with more torque than the rear tires could cope with. It still is an American icon that every man or boy looks at with awe.
If you are a wanna-be-racer with no actual experience and think that a 2.0 liter anything is going to be as exhilarating as driving the viper, then you just don't get it. No amount of discussion is going to change your mind, it's guy thing.

Crap! No DOHC; No double clutch; No straight injection; No recovery system;
CRAP!

I don't even own a car anymore. Prefer my bikes. But rconaway is spot on, it's a guy thing.
