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.

  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.

Inside Looking Out You should care. With GM will die America. All signs are there. How about the Arsenal of Democracy? Toyota?
DenverMike What else did anyone think, when GM was losing tens of billions a year, year after year?
Bill Wade GM says they're killing Android Auto and Apple Carplay. Any company that makes decisions like that is doomed to die.
Jeff S I don't believe gm will die but that it will continue to shrink in product and market share and it will probably be acquired by a foreign manufacturer. I doubt gm lacks funds as it did in 2008 and that they have more than enough cash at hand but gm will not expand as it did in the past and the emphasis is more on profitability and cutting costs to the bone. Making gm a more attractive takeover target and cut costs at the expense of more desirable and reliable products. At the time of Farago's article I was in favor of the Government bailout more to save jobs and suppliers but today I would not be in favor of the bailout. My opinions on gm have changed since 2008 and 2009 and now I really don't care if gm survives or not.
Kwik_Shift I was a GM fan boy until it ended in 2013 when I traded in my Avalanche to go over to Nissan.
