Viper gets room at New York show
It's NY in April not Detroit in January for new Dodge Viper

That's what SRT boss Ralph Gilles has told the Viper Club of America, at least.
Now, you could read this news in two ways: either the next Viper is rather behind schedule and is going to miss its 'hometown' show, or it's keen to use the increasing international importance of the NY show to help push its new muscle car to a more global audience.
As for what we'll actually see when the new car is revealed, well details are pretty scant, but it seems that under the bonnet (or rather hood) will be an 8.7-litre V10 with around 600hp. But while the Viper has traditionally been known for somewhat agricultural muscle car dynamics, Dodge wants to pull in a broader audience with this one, so we can also expect rather more in the way of driver aids.
To that end the Viper, like the Camaro, Corvette and even Ford Mustang is part of a new wave of American cars out to prove they can do more than straight-line hero stuff by setting ever quicker 'ring laps. And Porsche thought it had its hands full with Nissan.
American Junk, road tax likley to be over a grand, rubbish MPG, nowhere to plug in a electric charger, only two seats, no room for the family,WHO THE HELL WOULD WANT ONE OF THOSE THINGS

I pay a bit over 2k€ for my Chim 450, so a grand in the UK for a Viper isn't too bad at all!
