So uhh..... what kinda gas mileage does it get?
The new Viper is a damn beast there's no doubt about it. But I still don't like the V-10 I think half of having a supercar like that is the sound (as its part of the image for me) and the Viper fails horribly in that category. I think Dodge should ditch the V-10 and make a BIG Hemi to replace it. You know they can make the same power, it would sound better, and it would probably be more affordable. That's what I think.

129 mph is getting close to where it should be for the power it makes.

I'm not gonna bash a viper.
They are Sexy Beasts!

Although, I do prefer them with the stock exhaust.

^I definitely can't bash them on looks at all. As far as performance, the Z06 is damn close, but something tells me that these new Vipers will be totally SICK with a few minor mods. Now we need some good videos of them racing some ****

That's getting up there in trap speed. I'm sure we'll see plenty hitting low 130s in the not-too-distant future, which sounds accurate for those numbers. How much do these things weigh?

I would imagine if someone could reasonably afford a Viper, they don't have to worry too much about gas prices. Anyone buying a Viper and then complaining about gas mileage is an idiot. That would be like buying a motorcycle and then complaining about the sound system; that's not why you buy it.

My thoughts exactly. Besides nothing gets good milage when you stand on the throttle.

Yeah, maybe the statement should be "cars that fast shouldn't be so readily available to those who can afford it".
