Anyone see the new Motor Trend?

Cover is the new Viper.

They claim 600 HP, VVT, 8.4 liters, and reduced weight. They didn't drive it and the HP number isn't final, but it was the first thing I saw on it.

Why the hell can't the two websites dedicated to the car get a picture up?

Doesn't anyone in the country have a subscription and a scanner?

Saw it at Wal-Mart. Sorry! Looked exactly like a Normal Coupe except it had some more vents in the hood.

Well there goes any theory that the 2006 Coupe will be a collectable year. Or any SRT for that matter (and I own one).

If you own it then it is a collectable. Who would have thought a 55 Chevy would be or a 63 Impala or even a 69 Camaro.

Holy BaGeebus!!!!!!!!!!!! still no pics?!?!?!?

The Great One · December 27th, 2006, 06:45 PM

Morg says its also in Road & Track. Did it really make both magazines or is someone just mixing up mags? I need to know so I know what to look for in the store.

Any indication of what this increased power is going to cost or is that still a TBD too?

Said $90,000--- So it looks like the price will stay the same.

Did it have new wheels?

Im intrested to see if these engines will be mod freindly and bullet proof like the last two generations.

From the morgue

Not a very impressive start.

the front end of the vette reminds me of a newer t-bird ugly

The Great One · December 27th, 2006, 09:37 PM

That can't seriously be the new Viper? Damn DC, it better turn out some AMAZING numbers, because by the looks alone, it seems that it will be another disappointment.

GTSNRT10 · December 27th, 2006, 09:48 PM

vette=DB9 imitation

viper=

Why is it disappointing? The 2008 Viper is not supposed to be a new generation car; it is only supposed to be an improved Gen3 with less weight and more power. If it comes in at 600hp and 100-150 pounds less, that is great.

I would tend to agree if the pricing remains close to the 06 SRTC.
