Dodge would sell more Vipers by using the exact current powertrain and chassis with a comp coupe body on it then they would by adding more power. They really fucked up with the design of the SRT-10 from the get go. It looks like an S2000 on steroids. The Gen III/IV cars will never be as collectible as Gen I/II.

I own a Gen III, btw. It was a bang for the buck decision for me. By the way, based on your comments my guess is that you've never had your Viper on a road course at speed (if you own a Viper). Because the Gen III/IV brakes are damn near as perfect as they come.
Welcome back Sir.
