I haven't seen any stupid questions, so I thought I'd do my part with these two.
1. Why does there have to be sooooo much room in the wheel wells on the viper (SRT or GenII for that matter). The SRT has 19 inch rims, sweet, but it still looks like it's setup for a 4x4 event with all the space between the top of the tire & the fender line. Why can't they design a look more like a BMW wheel well, like an M5 or 3, where the top of the tire is right up to the wheel well & fender line - for the "slammed" look?
2. Really stupid question here: With so many guys/gals out there making way over 530 rwhp & 500 rwtq from simple exhaust, and bolt ons, why is the SRT engine so re-designed with more cubes, new intake, etc., and only 50 more crank hp & no material change in torque - in fact I'd like to know how they kept the torque figure down to 500, although I've seen some #'s with torque in the 525 range, still, it just seems low for the significant performance evolution being done.
These are just meant as stupid questions I've thought about & looking for input. I'm still on the fence about my pending order, so I'm not pro or con yet.
