I am sure for the price the zl1 is a better deal. I have a feeling the viper is almost twice as much

Unlikely, unless it borrows a Ferrari sourced 'automated manual' type tranny. But I highly doubt they'll do that. The spirit of the Viper is being a simple beast, not a high-tech wondercar.

No.

As much as i wanna say this car will be low tech all beast like prior vipers my gut feeling is that this one will be different. By no means will it be super high tech but i think ive already read that it has traction control which is likely a government safety regulation these days but still. Its something that was never on a viper before. Im sure there is gonna be some other first time features on this car...

I wonder if this will be the first American production car to make it into 6:00 on the nurburgring not that it's relevant to anything, just wonder...

I believe that is a new Viper, wearing some old bodywork and some camo. Likely used for testing the engine and drivetrain

Good one!

It reminds me of the Muricelago's "hold on bar"
