I hear you but the SRT 10 Coupe is such a terrific platform (best Viper ever) all it needs is a little more power and its faster than the Z06 not to mention better looking and a more true "rare" exotic.
Color choices are good especially compared to the Vette as I cant stand thier limited color combos.
Throw a intercooled Paxton on a Coupe and your done! It's simple reliable and the Vettes wont know what hit em.
This is what all Viper owners should do at a minimum and this way we can all laugh as we see the faces of the Z06 owners as they scratch thier head and try to understand HOW they could ahve lost.
The Viper is already better in most categories to me, WE just need to nudge it in the HP/TQ department.
SVS, Woodhouse and many others all provide these simple bolt on installations. If you have not ridden in one I would not knock Dodge too hard as they might put some new technology in the Viper like the Vette which will make it a nightmare to do any easy upgrades to it.
My 2 cents at anyway!
Don't get me wrong... the srt coupes and verts are great. However, DC seems to think different color, limited edition badging, colored panels, and seat stitchings is what will sell Vipers, while for their Benzes, they add more power than a luxury car would ever realistically need. Heck, why don't they go paint their slk's orange and swing some of those AMG resources (money) to the Viper team? Last I checked, Dodge/Chrysler was making more cash than the Benzes. Quit throwing money at the losers!
If anything, more colors means more inventory of unpopular colors. They should have an option where you can buy a Viper with just primer and you bring it to your own paint facility, but comes lighter and more HP. I'd rather paint my own than have to add power that should have come from the factory. Vipers are meant to be NA stock. Whatever you add afterwards is your own perrogative.
