"Easter egg: As the Viper's tach starts to approach the rev limiter, the whole gauge gradually glows brighter and brighter red while the car's cartoon snake face emerges in the center."

weird...

I like the Viper ALOT better but the stupid snake emblem and the fact that it's a Dodge does suck...

Let's wait and see if any tweaks are made on the actual production car. These are test mules.

Bad move to drop Michelin for Pirelli.

What's ridiculous is that my old 2009 bone stock "600hp" Viper made 547whp/517wtq...and this new one is rated at 40hp more? Sounds like somone was playing the numbers game with either the old or new motor. My numbers were on a dynojet 248C, SAE corrected.

I don't even care that the ZR1 is faster, the Viper is simply badass. It's much more unique, it has a nicer interior, and IMO it looks better.

Even though the ZR1 is a beast, it still looks like a C6.

LOL, believe that if you want.

It's not, so not sure what you're lol'ing about. It will be sold at Dodge dealerships if that's what you're getting at.

Either way, that SRT, Dodge, Fiat, whatever you want to call it will beat the pants off anything Ford ever sold.

So the zr1 and viper are supposed to be very competitive both straight and laped......and you think the Gt500 is gonna heavily competitive with either?

With the 2013 GT500 being a whopping 550 lbs heavier than a 2013 Viper, I'd guess no. (stock vs. stock)

3300 lbs Viper, 3850 lbs GT500

Totally agree. I see tons of Corvettes every week that look similar to a ZR1. I see maybe 1 Viper every 6 months.
