Like it didn't have enough hp and torque to begin with. I like the motor numbers, but definitely do not like the body or wheels.

I don't know, it's like so many other new cars we've seen come on the market lately.
We tend to hate them at first, and then majically, they become the most beatiful thing we've ever seen.
I've been looking at this one for some time now, and I am considering it for my next new car.

I was jsut at the Chicago Auto show, and the pictures do not do the car justice. I didn't like the photos, but after seeing it in person, it looks pretty cool. Oh and the Pontiac GrandPrix with the 5.7 in it 4 wheel drive was prett cool and the Firebird with 500 ponies under the hood. OUCH!!

The new viper is going to be monster
On-track, the thing is going to be a dramatic improvement both from a power standpoint and handling.

That said, I'd rather have a 01 viper for the street. For me, the 01 viper is my favorite. Old body style, ABS, and tons of attitude!

That's just an awsome car! I have a 67 vette with a 502/550/502 in her. I would love to drive the viper though. I keep hearing they are very rough riding and would not make for a daily driver. Hopefully, Dodge can tame this down a little so it is more comfortable to drive in. Either way, its a total winner in my book.
