Well the design and performance of it has def gone a leap forward from the previous models. Really like how the SRT team is thinking and actually talking to the race teams and consumers on what they want in a car. I'm pretty impressed with it but only have one complaint. I think the front end could have been redone a little better with a more aggressive look to it. The front end look kinda reminds me of a older stratus or something. Just looks a little off. But besides that looks like they have a pretty stout performance super car in the works. Def like how the SRT guys are going about there cars. Wish GM would listen to there customers.

Looks like it wants to get its own *** handed to it by some pickup trucks.

Looks like an LS intake manifold.

They also went to sodium filled valves.

HAHA yeah there are a few that would put it to it!

Three6gmc: The front of the car is kinda funny looking, but I like the rest. I wish the Corvette team would build what consumers REALLY want. I guess maybe if they split from Chevrolet that may be possible since they could focus solely on it. I couldn't imagine them doing that since it is their halo car though. I hope they stay under the Chevy name. Back to the Viper, I can't wait to start seeing more videos of this thing.

The last generation had cam in cam vvt, so intake and exhaust could vary

The front sheetmetal looks like a Jag to me.. But I actually kind of like it. It's a nice change from the cheesy look they always had to me in the past.
