True!!! That's my all-time favorite dream car!

However, it's in a completely different league than any dodge or chevy. I mean, it costs more than most people's houses!

+1

But we may all actually get to see this Viper in action on the streets sooner or later. The Saleen S7 is like a NASA Rocket ship. We know that they exist and are very powerful but most people have to go out of their way to see one in person..

Dont like the looks of them. The hood looks like it was overdone. I also didnt hear anything about weight reduction. While the vette SS was talked about more, it being 650hp with another 250lbs shaved off of it. Coming it at around the same price as the Viper. While the viper might have the fix for the ZO6, which is 20-30k cheaper, it is going to get absolutely murdered by the SS Vette, at around the same price. I guarantee the SS Vette will be capable of low 10's possibly 9's, bone stock, modded we will see a Vette making around 750rwhp no problem. Lightly modded, i mean under 5k in parts. I believe GM has made a committment to making the most powerful and funnest vehicles to drive at each price point. They are going to be the leaders in performance at every level, just my opinion though.

^ I wouldnt go as far to say that they are going to be the "leaders in performance", but GM is DEFINITELY doing their part in forcing everybody to really start to throw down. Ford isnt gonna take the SS Vette like Dodge seems to be doing. Neither are the big European automakers. Looks like in the next 3 to 4 years, we'll be seeing a wave of stock to near stock low 10 second and mid-high 9 second street machines from all over the world. Hell. Yes.
