Dodge strikes back with the 2013 Dodge Viper!

[ctrlraven]

Now, with an insane 640 horsepower rating from its 8.4-liter V-10 engine, the Viper builds on that history with an all-new theme: adding in luxury, comfort, and control. Some of that control is mandated, some of it is voluntary. We just wonder if, all together, it will be as impressive as the last when it's loosed on the track. With custom Pirelli tires measuring 295/355 mm with unique compounds front-to-rear, it's likely to have good mechanical grip.

New features include launch control, four-stage stability control (which can be turned off), cruise control, two-mode adjustable suspension (via dash buttons, on GTS model), plus the "executive performance driver's office"--the new, higher-quality interior. Sabelt seats, the same supplier as Ferrari, give custom seats to the Viper, and a huge range of the interior's colors and materials are customizable to the buyer's preference.

The 2013 SRT Viper is powered by a 8.4L aluminum V10 engine with 640 horsepower and 600 lb-ft. of torque, the most torque of any naturally aspirated engine in the world. Improvements for 2013 include a new, ultra-high flow and lightweight composite intake manifold, high-strength forged pistons, sodium-filled exhaust valves, new catalysts to reduce back pressure and an aluminum flywheel that reduces reciprocating losses. The V10 is mated a Tremec TR6060 six speed-manual transmission.

The SRT Viper has a stiffer structure that provides 50 percent more torsional rigidity. Major updates include the addition of a new aluminum “X” brace under the hood that ties the suspension pickup points to the magnesium cowl super casting and contributes to improved torsional rigidity and stiffness. SRT Viper models ride on standard Pirelli P Zero, Z-rated tires and for the first time ever the Viper has standard electronic stability control and traction control. All that power is also kept under control thanks to four-piston Brembo brakes with fixed-aluminum calipers, and vented rotors with a diameter of 355 mm by 32 mm, are used at all four corners. An available SRT Track Package features lightweight and slotted two-piece rotors from StopTech.

I think the 2012 Shelby 1000 is a better car then the 2013 Viper.

They have to leave some room for the aftermarket tuning world. It also makes 600tq, the most of any production NA gas engine car in the world.

they ruined the headlights, but other than that its not too bad

 

[bolsen]

Looks nice.

The 95 dodge viper GTS was the best viper ever made. No contest

Any word if and when Dodge is coming out with the shorter wheelbase replacement for the Challenger? Possibly called Barracuda. I know they have been tossing the idea around for a few years but I stopped getting all my car mags and am out of the loop.
