Now... if Mopar would take that Hellcat powertrain and put it in the Viper... Oh yeah. That would be SIIIIIIICK...


I honestly think that it doesn't need it. Current Vipers make 640hp which is only about 10% less than the 707hp of a Hellcat engine. Most people with average driving skill like myself, can hardly utilize 250-300 hp at a road course. Anything over 500hp, I would want aerodynamic downforce and 50/50 front/rear. To me, the Viper ACR is an impressive balanced package while the Hellcat isn't.




YES!!! I've been saying this for years. I've beat a LOT ov fast cars in my 225HP GT Mustang. With a 320HP Cobra engine and basic bolt-ons i'd be an utter menace.

BUT... we are talking superubercars here, and as with the silly Hellcats and 350Shelby's, reason is out the window. The ACR Viper sounds like a sound package... but it still SOUNDS like (to quote someone else here) a UPS truck. Hell... whether a Hellcat plant or 'just' the SRT8 6.4L... please just make it a V8.

How about that ACR with an ALL aluminum 7L 426 (gen 3) Hemi and 640HP... Yummy.
