Actually stated by Ralph, " Where the cabin is , relative to the wheels is unique. The Viper is very rearward and the hood is very long. Few cars in the industry are designed with those proportions anymore."
This statement alone is contrary to what this Edmunds article states. It is further noted in the Detroit News that the overlay of the 8C Alfa and the new Viper are not similar.
Lastly , those of us that saw the new Snake in Salt Lake will attribute a long snout to the beast with the rest of it coiled to strike. Yet the Edmunds article is already making it sound like an everyman's sports car because they misread one spot.
Now we all know how rumors start ,but ain't it fun, we will have writers paying attention to any developements and keep the excitement way up there.
Let's all take a breath and remember 5-7 years ago we were all told that future Vipers had to have traction control, stability management, side airbags, etc. The new car is just going to have the items done that we all forgot were coming.
I , for one, am thrilled that Fiat/Ferrari may be assisting with techinical data on the Viper's traction control. We have passion back in our midst and there should be a nice little on/off switch unlike the German systems we have now --- ve vill nott let u svitch ov das control kumpleteleee, az ve vantz to machen schure ve ar ultoomittlee in uberall Kontrollle, ja. Try to shut off the traction control in a 300 SRT8 --- never fully happens!!!
