I've been looking forward to a Ford-made supercar, whether the GT40 or otherwise. Provided Ford actually makes it, I plan to get one, it'd be a great complement to a Viper roadster

How about that SRT-10 Ram? Wow. They are giving SVT a run for their money. No longer will the Lightning be the fastest truck in the world. They are dropping a Viper RT-10 engine (500 HP, 500 ft-lbs) into a Ram... 0-60 in 4 seconds.. I find it interesting that all the new PVO vehicles will have the letters SRT on them... sounds similar to SVT... Dodge must be hurting.

Sounds like Ford, Chevy, and Dodge might be having a Horse Power war again. Who will win???? And will the customer be left in the dust on this one or will we have the ride of our lives.

Personally I don't want some idiot in a 500HP truck riding around town but maybe if the price is high enough that will keep the idiot factor down a bit...

Other posts I saw said 0-60 in 5 seconds, the new viper would barely be better than 4 seconds...

I find it very irksome that they are using the SRT label on the Viper and Neon?! Not to mention adding yet another syllable when saying the name of car, what a pain in the ***!
