It really could be bad ass if they do it right. Again though Ralph has shaken my confidence.

Chrysler was in the $hitter and in big need of restructering....a flagship sports car was probably the last thing on their minds.

.....oh that, and Benzo stole the chassis designed for the then upcoming Gen 5 Viper for their SLS AMG supercar before Diamler split with Chrysler. :fight:

nope, all cars on the road needed traction control as a standard and the viper didn't have any so they had to stop production and thats right from the head of SRT groups mouth

I'm wondering myself what it will look like.

And didn't take long... LOL

Ahh good point. I forgot about that mandate. GM was way ahead of everyone on that. Seems they could retrofit a traction control system though fairly easily, I feel like they really threw everyone some BS with that answer.

For instance here is the Gen 5 traction control system in a Gen 4 Viper in a snow test last year.

Not saying you're wrong about what was said, I just think there was more to the decision than just "oh, the car doesn't come with TC." Automotive manufacturers have slapped TC on models mid-year in some cases as an update. Chrysler coulda, they just didn't wanna.

They didn't "have to" stop production, nor did they stop production because of traction control. The federal requirement was phased in over several years, something that Dodge was well aware of many years before the end of the Gen IV Viper. 100% compliance was not required until the 2012 model year.

The 6.4 crate motor is based off the 6.1 and the 6.4 production motor is based off the 5.7. Two different platforms
