2013 Dodge Viper: The Italian Job

The new owners of Chrysler, Fiat, want the Dodge Viper to live on. We're all for it. They also want this Viper to have a design trait that puts in the world class section of supercars. Who could Argue with that? Alfa Romeo, Ferrari and Zagato all have a hand in it. http://www.thedrivechannel.com

@PyroBlonde7777 nothing but the truth.. viper > everything

[PyroBlonde7777]

@Janusha If you had any education on the matter you would know that there is no better track to test a car then on Nurburgring. It has different elevations, different temperatures, and the perfect balance of straights and turns. It is the closest thing to a perfect track there is. And if you want to be in denial over these facts then it might make you even more angry to know that the Viper owns records at many other tracks. Lol you Euro people have many ways of denying the truth. Flags?

the new viper will look ugly if it wasnt american

@PyroBlonde7777

Again with the ridiculous Nurburgring. What the hell are you talking about. This idea of the Ring as some kind of international benchmark where we all go to "benchmark" our cars and somehow american barnyard cars came along and won gold medals is an all american myth. These things dont happen in reality. But now every bewildered flagwaving fool throws these ridiculous Ring laps around as conclusive evidence of an entirely fictional US superiority. This is complete bullshit.

@Janusha Lol thats funny because if you just look around you would know that the 2010 Dodge Viper ACR holds the record at Nurburgring (7.12). Its also just as inexpensive as a ZR1 but much much faster. Soon the 2013 ACR should do much better on the Nurburgring and the funny thing is the old one will hold the record for quite some time! The Viper is inexpensive and destroys the competition against cars that are three times the price. And its American. Lol your just another arrogant Euro.

@Janusha: Sure it is. That is if you know how to judge cars by their price tag instead of judging them like they are 300k or more. But anyway, most corvette owners here want nothing to do with a more expensive corvette, most of them actually race their cars around a lot of our road course race tracks. vette owners like the fact that their cars are affordable reliable and cheaper. Here in the states, doctors and lawyers buy Porsches, gear heads, drivers, and enthusiast buy Corvettes.

I grew up with american cars. My father collects old classics from when Made in USA ment something. I know that whole thing. Ive been to am-car shows, Ive been to dragracing. Ive also had my time in England with Lamborghinis, Ferraris and Lotus. Ive also visited these factories on several occasions. I even have friends at the Koenigsegg factory. Ive never said the Corvette is shit and I see the appeal with something you can fix with a hammer. But its just not competitive is it.

@Janusha: By the way, right now I'm flag waving for the Koenigsegg Agera R, which is a far better supercar than the Veyron has ever been.

[V8Supercar1]

@Janusha: No american wants a 300k Corvette. But you would know that if you've been to this country and talked to actual vette owners. As for as vettes, GM knows what their customers wants.

There is no way in hell you can keep pushing enormous 8 litre truck engines past modern emissions regulations. You can in american kit-cars that are largely exempt from such trivial things as rules and government regulations but not in an internationally road legal supercar / sportscar.
