The rumor I read in motor trend is that the Viper will return with a different brand. The idea motor trend gave was SRT, so the SRT Viper, and they were going to have 3 or four other cars in that lineup. Quite possibly the cuda as well instead of replacing the challenger. Of course the challenger would still leave the dodge lineup, but the cuda would join the new brand.
@fenceturd I think that's a terrible idea. I'm not saying that it won't happen, just saying that it's really dumb for them to take the Dodge brand name off their really high performance cars.
"The Celts are descended from the Original Cro-Magnons (Cro-magnons=First Whites= Basques).....The reason we know this is because of their very very.......very.......very.....rare blood!" "The Cro Magnons came from Atlantis. Of course science can not place their origin. Their origin is not there any more. It sank"
@TDRrevenge Your right. I had to remind myself what a TVR was (I saw it for the first time on a Top Gear review a couple years ago) so I watched the review again; " the TVR Sagaris," and I would much rather have the Sagaris than the Viper. Nobody would know what you were driving and you could be sure that nobody else even has one. Too bad they aren't sold in Canada.
@7FP3: Which is a good thing. Because they are upgrading the quality of the interior. And they will also offer a 7 speed DCT transmission, making this the first american high performance car to have a fast shifting DCT tranny.
The March issue has a pretty good article on the '13 GT500, focusing on the engine most of all.
Of particular note, with respect to a shot of the dyno computer screen: "The 650 HP rating is at the maximum continuous RPM of 6250, but the redline is 7000, at which point we saw 670+ HP on the screen. But Ford probably doesn't want you to know that."
@k5rjtxj Last time I saw a 'hood' on a car, it was a pink hooded top left on a BMW by a small girl. In ENGLISH, we call it a 'bonnet', or in German, a motorhaube... but that's beside the point. You are speaking English, speak it properly!
@GoldFich831: Yeah. It will have traction control. But you can always turn traction control off. The Federal law only requires manufactures to include some form of trac control settings.
For all people here that say stuff about American Vs Euro. Can we just have the choise of the car we want to drive Geez. Car is a car. You get bound on one model go for it i hope you will enjoy the ride. PERIOD.
@SouthernRR4501 Any car with 600bhp and tyres so wide that the edges are in different time zones is bound to be fast in a straight line and round corners, but, it'll feel like a sack of shit doing it, and the Viper does. An old MG Midget, with 100bhp and skinny little tyres is more fun, all the time, than a Viper, because someone bothered to put a little effort into what matters, finesse. Not brute force and idiocy.
@TheWierdFish And you can go fuck yourself. British fag fan boy. You've probably never driven a viper before. Thats what American cars are all about, and you will never get it even when one blows your doors off and you run off with your tail between you legs.
@SouthernRR4501 Fuck you right back. Oh and please, you're calling me a cigarette? I've driven a GTS, an SRT10 and an ACR, all were shit. I understand the Viper fully, a huge firebreathing monster that tries to kill you at every opportunity. It's a good thing. But. There are cars that do it better, a Lamborghini, for example. And, more importantly, there are cars that do it better, and, when you have a headache, or are tired, can be driven normally, step forward, the AMG SLS.
I like the second picture. I love the Viper, I would rather have it than a Corvette. Let hennessey work their magic on a viper and almost nothing can stand against it.
They better keep the v10 the viper is the viper, if you want to throw a alfa engine into a fiat sportscar be my guest but don't mess with such a defining feature of a legendary american sports car.
And another thing. Shut up about the viper engine. Who cares that it is a 8+L engine. Think of it- You can have a 8+L v-10 That has 600 hp stock, with shit loads room to spare and bump up, and still be reliable compared to a Ferrari or lambo engine that if you tried to bump up the compression you'd be flirting in dangerous territory, and would nee to have a valve adjustment every time you pulled into a gas station, And if you drove it hard for any sizable time then straight up forget it
@thetriz4475: The 8 liter engine in the viper is fine. Especially when you consider the fact that its lighter and more fuel efficient than the Ferrari 6 liter. The only thing I'd like to see the new Viper be is slightly lighter with better aerodynamics.
You people stuck on euro cars don't know what the hell your talking about. Don't get me wrong, their are plenty of euro cars that i love dearly, But give it up already> American cars are catching up and passing up euro and Chink cars in damn near every aspect. READ THE DAMN NUMBERS. Dodge set the fastest time for a full production car at the Nürburgring track with a time of 7:12. And that has to be one of the most demanding track on the planet.
Sounds like big engines and power sliding is just old school for America. People just need to have some more fun. :) Just like the Dukes of Hazard, Starsky and Hutch, and Bullet!!!
@SuperAspergersMan Americans need the power because we actually need it. Europe doesn't need the power. Americans actually use them for work. And then there is mudding. But Europe just uses them for showing off. We do too but Europe overdoes it.
the biggest problem in american cars is that they are so heavily focused on lots of power, huge heavy engines. thats nice of courseon paper. american cars are horrible on the corners, i'd rather drive a civic properly, around the corner than a dodge viper with engine that spins out like a dog catching its tail i perfer eurpean cars because they know what to do, if u turn tightly it will turn tightly what makes a supercar a super car is a system of parts, that work in unison not just a big engine
You see.... american cars HAVE to rely on insanely big engines and huge power. And they rely on skidpads that tell nothing about handling. Because there is little else to get all excited over. European supercars are built to showcase the latest tech, superior craftsmanship and build quality. While american muscle is cheaply built to appeal to patriotism and nostalgia. Two different worlds. Ofcourse they will be fast. But supercars.... No.
@SuperAspergersMan Americans are focused on straight and starts final velocity are to Europeans. The handling of the Europeans is much better, on a track with curves they outnumber the Americans. It also has the Japanese, like the Europeans but more focused on good prices.
@TheReallyJhonny: "Americans are focused on straight and starts"
Thats just simply not true anymore. We are now focused on making all around performance cars. The Dodge Viper ACR is currently # 4 on the nurburgring. The only cars that posted quicker lap times are the gumpert apollo and two radical cars thats not even street legal here in the U.S. Then there is the new mustang boss 302 which posted quicker lap times on the laguna seca vs. the BMW m3 and the Audi R8 .
@TheReallyJhonny whats your point with those times? The Radical is a go-kart, and the donkervoort is one too. I don't even think the radical is street legal, and neither even has a roof. Take those away and you have the viper, LFA (400K), the GT2RS (260K), and the vette(s). So in other words to beat an American car you either need a quarter million, or a car that weighs as much as the shit I took this morning. I'd say the American cars are coming along nicely.
@V8Supercar1 Clearly you are both morons, because the Corvette and Viper are in the top fastest cars on the planet, beating out all European cars like lambos and ferrari's, and only an extremely overpriced lexus is in there, so iunno wtf you guys are smoking with your bs.
@kimjb95: Why wouldn't it be specialized for the track? Its a supercar. Not to mention its 100% street legal. Its was in production in 2008, 2009, and 2010. Its currently out of production and being redesigned. The 2013 model has already been confirmed.
@V8Supercar1 Nope the ZR1 now has a quicker lap time of a few seconds. ZR1 now has a time of 7:18 or 19 seconds. Watch the youtube vid. But still that makes the ACR 5th on the N-Ring and yes the only things faster then the Vette and Viper are ugly ass kit cars.
@TrueTexanPSN1: Actually, its like this now. (Viper ACR 7:12 secs) (ZR1 7:19.63) (Z06 7:22.68) The Viper just recently went back out to the ring and improved its lap time, there is a video of it on my channel. But anyway. I cant wait for the new Viper, 660 HP N/A engine with a 7 speed DCT tranny. Basically a Ferrari tranny. It will be the first high performance american car to be produced with a tranny like that. There will still also be the traditional 6 spd manual option.
@V8Supercar1 > 7 or more speeds is too many gears for a road car! Why?? Too much weight. They should be going the way of the dragster which has 4 speeds or less. Why?? Far less reciprocating weight, you can still have the performance you want, and no drop in MPG either.
@V8Supercar1 But, having driven the Viper, and a Cadillac CTSV, I can say, while they are good, the massive power advantage is still the main track weapon, plus, the ride quality is severely compromised, unlike the M3 and R8, which are lovely. Radicals, are awesome, and perfectly legal in countries with semi sensible laws. And before you argue, remember America is home of the 5mph 'impact bumper' law, a perfectly stupid idea if ever there was one.
@V8Supercar1 But, the Mustang Boss is not as useable day to day as an M3, which is it's party piece, and it's not as stylish, mid-engined or V10 ish as the R8, which is the main point of that car. The Mustang Boss is a very expensive Mustang, with lots of hideous and vulgar stickers and accessories. Plus, as every proper petrolhead knows, Laguna, is a power track, and the M3 and R8, while fast, are more handling oriented than the overpowered Mustang.
@V8Supercar1 But the M3 is a very fast car, that can still carry five people and all their shopping, the Boss can't do that, so it cannot be compared. the Boss has as far as I can tell, no direct opposition, so all Fords claims of it being better than various european cars are moot. Its performance is as a two door, 2+2, front engined, rear drive track car, and as that only. If you want an M3, that's all you can have.
@TheReallyJhonny Ok, you have given us your grade-school OPINION...now show us FACTS. Show me a list of MASS PRODUCED european sports cars under $200K that will outperform a Viper ACR, or ZR1 on any track. I'll wait.....
@makstone You are running away from the focus of the video. We are here to celebrate the fact that the Viper again be made, not to say whether or not he was a good car. We all know that he was one of the best American sports cars of all time.
@TheReallyJhonny I absolutely love and respect the Viper, that's why I challenge those who attempt to discredit it as a capable, world class sports car just because it isn't bulging with the latest engine technology. I am more than confident that the new one will offer world class performance at an affordable price (in sports car terms), just as the Corvette does.
@TheReallyJhonny For automakers it's all about the bottom line.. money and profit. If SRT can save money by using Maserati's (or anyone else's) multivalve V8 without having to develop their own, then I say go for it. The customer will win because the development cost wont get passed down to them. They would need to use a supercharger though, since the Maserati V8 makes less power than SRT's own V8.
@TheWierdFish You love reading what you type, don't you?? You have plenty of grade school style speculations and opinions, but offer no proof that what you say is true.
@makstone I've beaten a Viper A-B, on public roads, legally, in my Jaguar E type, because I can use every one of its 320 odd horsepower, and to good effect, and I'm damn sure an Elise is faster than my 40 year old Jag.
@TheWierdFish The E-Type (if you actually have one) does not have 320 hp measured by todays standard, making your story even less plausible. How's the weather on your planet?
@makstone Mine does, 3.8 litre inline six, three bigger SUs, revised compression ratio, exhaust, intake, cams and valves, as well as cooling and magnetic ignition. Only relatively light work, but it's all over and adds up, and she really flies. Not everyone has a boggo Jag. And before anyone cries "what are you doing modifying an XK engine!" It was supercharged and had a BMW head on it when I got it from the States, I actually made it more original. Oh, RHD swap, I can't stand LHD.
@SuperAspergersMan Some people don't like it when the manufacturer does everything for you, with so much stability control, paddle shifting, AWD where the frick is the fun in driving. American cars like the Mustang Boss are eating up anything overseas has to offer in their respected price range., this includes nurburgring and 1/4mile times. The fact most American cars like the Viper AMG and ZR-1 require a little hair on your balls to get around a 90 degree corner shouldnt be looked down upon :)
@lazerYA But only Americans and Yankee-wannabees like American cars. The rest of the sane world, wants Ferraris, Porsches, Audis, Lamborghinis, because they actually are brilliant. And there's the other factor, Do you really want to be driving the same care as spotty Steve from down the road? No, so while he buys a cheap, mass produced pile of crap, you buy a Porsche, own him at the track.
@SuperAspergersMan Yeah, it spins out so hard that a Dodge Viper is the fastest major production car to run the 'Ring. Derp. Want to talk about huge, heavy cars that are only good at one thing? Let's talk about the Bugatti Veyron...
@Psychlonic bugatti have good handling and high speed, and whats ur comeback supoosed to be? oh right nothing. plus if anybody drives a european car they will be hooked and dump there cheap ass mustangs out the junkyard. and grab bmw m3
@SuperAspergersMan lol yeah, good handling but still can't get anywhere close to the ACR's lap times even with way more power. Funny you mention Mustangs and M3s, BTW, considering that a Mustang in the same price range is better in basically every performance area.
@Psychlonic The Veyron is monstrously fast, and it's a comfortable and powerful Grand Tourer, perfect for long haul cruising or speed limit shattering bursts of power, depending on how you feel today, sir.
@SuperAspergersMan: huge heavy engines? Our engines may be bigger, but they are not heavier. Our 7.0 liter in the Corvette is lighter and more fuel efficient than BMW's 5.0 liter. And our cars are horrible on corners?? What are we back in the year 1990 or something?? We currently have 3 cars sitting in the top 11 on the Nurburgring lap times. Our new mustang Gt 5.0 equals the performance of the M3 and the boss 302 mustang beats it in a straight and around a track (the Laguna seca).
@V8Supercar1 Totally subjective comment with stupid nationalism. You base your comment watching american programs that show (WRONGLY) how american cars are better. But the truth is that they aren't.
Even nurburgring lap records are bullshit: every record is made with different drivers, with different climate that affect time.
A 7.0L Corvette better than a 5.0L BMW? Ahaha please, don't make me laugh. Try to see the "International Engine of the Year Awards" before saying idiocy.
@viperconcept: Well first of all. I never said american cars are better. Unlike so many ignorant brits, I don't believe in superiority. Secondly? If american programs are so wrong, then what makes the European ones right?? Nurburgring laps might be b.s. in your opinion, but anyone can make the same arguments against Porsche. And third. If you knew anything at all about engines. You would know that a lighter more fuel efficient engine is the better one.
@V8Supercar1 No, even europeans programs are like americans ones (even australian, japanese etc.). I meant you should think with your mind and you mustn't listen what you see on these programs.
Anyway, I remember you that the old M5 saloon car was heavier and less aerodynamic than the z06 coupe: of course the z06 will consume less, but not due to the engine. it's so logical...
@viperconcept: I'm talking about the motor itlself. The motor itself is lighter and more fuel efficient even though its larger in displacement. And I don't solely rely on TV shows to get my information. Some of it is directly from manufacturers themselves and also my own simulation test of my own. Of course thats not real life but its the closest thing to it. I respect what manufacturers say over 3rd party reviewers. Because we all know 3rd party reviewers are bias.
@V8Supercar1 The Z06 engine is larger in displacement but it's smaller: it's a V8. the bmw ones was a V10. But, ok, now lets see the fuel consuption of the new M5 with the 4.4 V8 560hp: 23,8 mpg combined. The z06 (512hp) is 18mpg Combined.
@viperconcept: lol My point was never about the new M5. I'm completely aware of it. Listen, my original point was to point out the fact that European cars are not automatically superior to everything thats not european. And no, I'm not saying that american is superior either. I don't believe in the word "superiority".
@V8Supercar1 The M5 was just an exemple. And if you don't believe in the word "superiority" how do you decide which car is better? Of course there are some points where american cars are better than european ones but there are other some points where European cars are better. But, you must admit that european supercars are more sophisticated than american supercars: objectively, you can't say the contrary when you compare, for exemple, a Ferrari 458 and a Corvette, come on!
@viperconcept: Well yeah I agree that European supercars are more sophisticated. Unfortunately Ford and GM just doesn't seem to care all that much about awd drivetrains and high performance DCT trannys. I think calling one car better than the other just an opinion because cars have too many factors and you can always find pros and cons in the cars you are comparing. Now. To compare the 458 to the corvettes. The 458 was built with more expensive material inside an out vs. the ZR1. to be continued
@V8Supercar1 Yes. The ZR1 doesn't exploit many technologies. The 7-speed transmission with double clutch like the 458, the airbrakes of the Mclaren mp4-12C, a dual turbocharger, a lot of downforce like the Veyron, the AWD of the Porsche.
You see... I consider american cars "half-built". They don't fully exploit the potential. They are too much "simple".They would be much more effective than now.
@TheAMGkompressor But the CTS-V is hideous, has cheap feeling plastics and a poor fitting interior, as well as FUCKING ANNOYING SAFETY BONGS FOR EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know door's open, I've just opened it. I know the TCS is off, I've just pushed the damn button! Pile of idiot proof crap.
@TheWierdFish: The only plastic in the CTSV is that silver strip in the interior. At least the CTSV isn't a million dollar car with plastic paddle shifters like the Veyron 16.4 is.
@V8Supercar1 Have you ever sat in a Veyron? No, obviously not. Well, I have, and in that particular example, they were a set of lovely billet aluminium items. In others I've seen titanuim, carbon fibre and, weirdly, wood, used for paddles. Specialy ordered, of course, but then, it is a Bugatti.
@TheWierdFish: And the bottom line is the Veyron 16.4 not the SS has plastic paddle shifters. But thats okay because its european. Only if its american does it need to be ridiculed.
@TheWierdFish: Unfortunately there is a stupid youtube bug thats going around limiting my character count to only 200. So i cant explain to you in detail
@makstone How? I freely admit to loving the Nissan R33 GT-R, and the Lada Niva, and the Vauxhall Monaro (which is Aussie) and the Ford GT40 (American) and various other bits of kit. I love all that is good, fast and balanced, that's the crucial word, balanced. Americans are too focused on power. Notice how all your fastest cars have 600+bhp, that's just wrong. A car can be fast with only 3-400, infact, that's probably about the right amount for any car.
@TheWierdFish Americans are too focused on power? What about the Ferraris and Astons with over 500 hp (some with over 600)? You are running out of excuses, try again.
@makstone But, Astons and Fezza's run that power with supple, responsive and deeply composed suspension and chassis setups, giving cornering to match the power. American cars, the focus is skewed to the power end of the spectrum. Try again dear.
@makstone Track numbers are not everything, it's real world performance that counts when it comes down to it. An Aston or a Ferrari can get its power down in real life situations, a Viper just (and I speak from experience) tries to mince its rear tyres whilst simoultaneously chewing the fronts in a weird over/understeer combo that makes the entire car shudder to the point where the controls move slightly in relation to the driver. The wheel must have moved an inch or two.
@V8Supercar1 > Thanks for reminding me of the 572! That's a killer engine! I'd buy a new Corvette, or Camaro with that engine in a heart beat. That is of course all dependent on whether I had the dough to buy it.
@extremedrivr: To be honest with you, im not interested in the 7 spd aspect of it. But mostly because its gonna be a DCT. DCT trannys offer quicker and easier shifts.
@extremedrivr: lol That 572 is a monster. I'm not sure if it can fit in a vette though. Even the 427 looks cramped in the Z06. The camaro you should be able to fit it though.

@SouthernRR4501 Any car with 600bhp and tyres so wide that the edges are in different time zones is bound to be fast in a straight line and round corners, but, it'll feel like a sack of shit doing it, and the Viper does. An old MG Midget, with 100bhp and skinny little tyres is more fun, all the time, than a Viper, because someone bothered to put a little effort into what matters, finesse. Not brute force and idiocy.

Think of it- You can have a 8+L v-10 That has 600 hp stock, with shit loads room to spare and bump up, and still be reliable compared to a Ferrari or lambo engine that if you tried to bump up the compression you'd be flirting in dangerous territory, and would nee to have a valve adjustment every time you pulled into a gas station, And if you drove it hard for any sizable time then straight up forget it

Take those away and you have the viper, LFA (400K), the GT2RS (260K), and the vette(s).
