Well, that'd be cool, too!

+1 to that Chase. They are sticking to the big V10. Pretty impressive numbers and I'm sure 700HP is just around the corner. The C7 Vette and 3rd gen Viper should have some fun match ups in the near future.

that much power in a car like that is insane. thats one of the only reasons i like the Viper, they are so fast. im usually pure GM but i can appreciate the Viper. itll be a good comparison of the C7 ZR1 and this Viper

Wow! GT-R is getting some major comp.

I'm guessing this goes for about 120k or so. Interestingly, I've read SRT may make a cheaper version with the 6.4 in it. A car with the same powerplant as the SRT8 minus 1,000 lbs. could be pretty fun to drive.

I am thinking $90-100K.

I was honestly expecting it to have 700 or so. They had 600 back in 2008. Unless they're downsizing the engine or going with a force fed V8 -then I can believe the 660. But I had heard that it was supposed to be getting an even bigger V10, an 8.7L unit this time. A little more displacement, bump the revs up few hundred rpm, adjust the VVT cam profiles a bit, add direct injection ... 700 should be doable for a pushrod 8.7L engine

Doubtful. Ferarri might help out but if its got a V8 it would most certainly be based on the Hemi engines the Chrysler brands currently use, and probably the 6.4L one. Some people love the sound of a high strung flat-plane V8, but the target demo for Vipers generally prefer the sound (and price and torque) of big cross-plane V8s

After all it's the most amazing car ever built, Right?

Don't tempt the trolls

The power-to-weight difference of a 650hp GT500 with a 3350lb 660hp Viper is less than the power difference between the 13 GT500 and the 12 ZL1.

it is a guess basically using the ZR1 numbers as a baseline.

they haven't released a curb weight yet though.

I dunno, I can easily see Dodge executives saying "well we have a better car than the ZR1, so we can charge more for it."

They could have said that about the last Viper, yet it was around $20K less IIRC.

It would be freaking awesome if the next viper has 666hp!!! I know somebody at dodge must have thought about it.
