torque curve tells it all, there's a reason the s2000 can make 250hp and only 150 lbft torque, "there's no replacement for displacement"

why does anyone give a fuck if it makes 75hp/L or 95hp/L. it still makes more power and torque than a bmw m5 or a s2000

no one is questioning how fast the viper is...
but people are confused why a 8.7L output isnt as efficient as some other competitor. IM sure it will do 11s no problem if not 10s
Therfore people questions about American's technology.....
Lambos displacement is what? 6.5L? LP700 making 700hp
458 is 4.3L or sth and its around 540 hp

Engineers get these little things called 'parameters', and they have to abide by those when they build something. It's not just a free-for-all, and a 600hp 8.7L engine is the best Dodge could come up with..

Its rumored to be in the high 600's. But, nobody has confirmed and actually knows the actual power of the engine.

when you have 500-700hp, laying down the power (tranny and lsd) is more important than an extra 50hp or 50lbs of torque.

^^ Never driven an American car have ya?
The whole point is to casually cruise in 6th gear on the highway at 1500 RPMs and have the ability to burn rubber from 120 km/h by punching the throttle.

Yep, it's a ten-banger in a box. The Viper may be dead for the time being, but Chrysler will still build you a V10 by hand, intended for use in drag racing. The 8.4-liter monster makes 800 hp and 695 lb-ft. No pricing info has yet been released.
There's another highlight from Mopar's SEMA spectacular: The company says it's got a limited number of Dodge Challenger bodies to sell. Maybe you could use one to build your own car, but without it weighing 11,000 pounds.
| It's a Chrysler 800-hp V10 in a box, baby!

The Viper is an awesome car for what it is....an old school muscle car with awesome torque. Unfortunately the Viper rides like shit, brakes bad, handles OK (not talking ACR here), but is basically unrefined. So if you like that, good for you!
In a Ferrari, GTR, M cars, AMG cars, you can jump in and drive it at 7/10s no problem, try that in a Viper.

The Viper motor is old old technology, sure it's got torque, but that's it...it can't rev
