There was no 1988 GN, '86 and '87 were intercooled, rated at less HP than the 'Vette but made more power in reality.
1989 TTA was rated higher than the 'Vette, (250 vs 245) but again it made much more than rated. They can't do that now due to SAE revisions.
My guess is, expect an 800hp+ Viper coming soon.
