8.4 liters. 10 cylinders. 640 horsepower. 600 lb-ft of torque. 3297 pounds. It’s still a Viper.

Here’s the long awaited 2013 SRT Viper. There is only one choice, a 6 speed manual transmission. Weight is down while power is up. Stability control and an 8.4 inch touch screen are concessions to comfort, but there will be a track version that loses another 57 pounds. Sounds like the right concept. Execution will be an entirely different matter.

  Blasphemy! A front engine sports cars hood can never be too long and the deck can never be too short.

  Yeah, the hood's long, it houses a 10 cylinder engine.

The Viper has always been a vulgar pig of a car, the thought that throwing horsepower at a problem somehow fixes it. And while you can throw a few aero kits on it and make it fast around a track and handle well, the street version of this thing will just kill you. And let's not forget what happens when some idiot puts this engine in a pickup truck.

  You're saying all of that like it's a bad thing.

  This is not accurate. Most of the folks who've tried the current-gen Viper have praised it for benign handling. It's no more or less likely to kill you than any other ludicrously-powered coupe.

El scotto Work it backwards. How many people use Tesla Super Chargers: Primary Charging Point - this is my normal charging station; Secondary charging station - at a retail location or planned on trips, Rarely or Not at All.
FreedMike Some clarification would make sense here: Tesla is laying off the team responsible for BUILDING NEW Supercharger stations. Apparently the ones already being built are going to be completed. The folks who maintain the current network are apparently unaffected. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/30/business/tesla-layoffs-supercharger-team.htmlAlso, many other other manufacturers are switching to NACS in the upcoming years, and some of those companies are already providing Supercharger adaptors for their non-NACS vehicles. Some Superchargers can already accomodate non-Tesla vehicles with a built in adaptor called the "magic dock."Given all this, my guess? They're trying to maximize utilization of the current system before building it out further.
