I think this is literally the BEST looking car I've ever seen, my GOD.

I'll have to ride down to a Dodge dealer and see it in person when it's released. I'm predicting the Corvette's will have their hands full with this one.

SRT really out did themselves with this one. The absolute best Viper yet!

Now that I see the DODGE version, it looks entirely as I'd hoped. This new Viper is simply stunning.

The mention of boost added to it sounds great... but I'm betting it has fairly high compression and won't like boost as much as the GT500. It already has a massive engine though, which helps immensely in the power department.

******* awesome.

Listening to the guy in the video talk about the car, I get the feeling that this is going to be like the Lamborghini Aventador (see Top Gear). If it's too good around the corners, it'd lose some of the appeal. It's not really a Viper unless it tries to kill you every now and then, like how Richard Hammond compared the Aventador to other V12 Lambos.

The Vipers own the production car record at the Nurburgring, they handle very well. They may not be as easy to drive as a GTR or Z06, but their handling, braking and acceleration are all top notch.

Holy **** that's sexy... do want.

It's amazing to think that in 2012 and $4+ gas prices they still make a muscle car with an 8.4 liter engine... incredible.

Wow, that's really nice. And that's a big complement from me, because I hate most new cars.

Dodge probably sells more new models that I like than any other brand at the moment. Charger/Challenger/Viper are all great looking cars IMO. Only thing new that excites me from GM is the Corvette.

Damn CAN NOT WAIT until we get this Viper hitting the streets along with the C7 Corvettes Major props... Looks bad ***! Finally they made the interior look really nice in quality. Along with getting rid of all the gauges! I like that the taillights look like an updated version of the 1996-02 Vipers

I wonder if the ACR will look like those race version pics????

How does the non-ACR viper fair though? I know the ACR has everything going for it.

8 liter v-10 still less power than the supercharged 5.8 liter.

It is an amazing machine, but idk, having all those "nanny" saftey features kind of kills what the Viper really was; don't you think? It really fit the name "Viper" (**** around with the deadly snake, disrespect it, and it'll "bite" you). It was a raw car, a drivers car.


Damn Government...

i'd still take the supercharged v8.

the new vipers bodystyle is beautiful. my problem is that i never could stand the sound that those v-10's make.

According to some of the interviews, a lot of the nanny features can be turned off to get back to the original feel of the Viper. I think that is cool, and helps the car appeal to a wider market.
