Have not seen it yet but it's an old one. Still all the same miss information that all the articles have. The only thing they got right in that article is the color of the concept.

Looks like a rehash of old information from when the dealers had their meeting over 105 days ago based on the comments.

Maybe the Detroit Auto Show will be a real reveal???

"For those that don’t quite need that much power, there is talk that Dodge could offer an entry-level V8 model."

Please don't let this happen.

It will not happen. Ralph has said that the Viper will ALWAYS be a V-10. If it's got a V-8 it will not be a Viper.

I think that we can all rest assured that there will only be a V10 Viper. My money is on there being two V10 options available for the street. One without forced induction and one with forced induction at, let's say, the five pound level. Do I know this? No. But based on all the threads on our Forums about forced induction and the fact that hundreds of us have gone that route, Dodge would be silly not to offer a forced induction alternative and not capture the market. And, it would not be that difficult to develop a twin screw supercharger system at the five pound level since the ZR1 already invented the wheel. My prediction is 650 or 700 HP for the base level V10 and 750 or 800 HP for the monster. I also think there will be offroad versions of both engines.

Disagree if you want. Flame me if you want. I'd rather have fun believing they have read what many of us have written; listened to what some of us have said and that they will deliver on the dream.
