As cool as it sounds, it would never happen. Many reasons including costs Dodge doesnt want to worry about and quite frankly shouldnt. Imagine the initial cost of development, the extra cost in parts and manufacturing and build costs, and then the overall price the car would have to sell for. Sure they would sell a few, but you get my point. Then comes the increased likeliness of things breaking. It would be a full time program to replace engines and drivetrain components all the time. People already cant handle the ponies in current Vipers, imagine the TT's. Even if emissions werent an issue, things like this just dont happen this day in age like they did in the late 60's and early 70's. Even a dealer tuned type option like used to exist (think Yenko) the costs and liability are just too high to make any profit worthwhile. The way things are now with aftermarket tuning is the best scenario, and keeps alot of exclusivity in the game too.
I agree, With people already wrecking these cars with 500 and 600 hp I really don't think folks have any buisness getting such a powerful car from the factory. I would be willing to bet that most of the VEYRON owners around the world who have flogged them cars and think they are the shit would be in for a rude awaking if they tried to drive even the entry level TT vipers(750 to 850rwhp) because of less weight and RWD.
