In case anyone wondered why Generation 5 Viper produces such weak performance figures, barely edging new Corvette that is 180 hp short and is over hundred pounds heavier than new Viper... Well, there is a very logical explanation: new Viper has LESS hp than the previous generation and significantly so. Not only that but also this hp is achieved at higher RPMs. The same goes for torque, except the new Viper runs out of steam here at LOWER RPM than Generation 4.
This lie can be witnessed in Edmunds dyno runs for both cars.
2009 Dodge Viper results: 581 hp @ 6100 RPM, 551 ft-lb @ 5150 RPM
2013 SRT Viper results: 558 hp @6150 RPM, 528 ft-lb @ 5100 RPM
Using the same drivetrain losses that SRT apparently applied to new Viper, Generation 4 Viper was severely underrated, with real horsepower rating at the flywheel right around 680 hp.
Pretty obvious here that both +Fiat and +Ralph Gilles are lying here. Should be interesting to see what kind of discounts will be offered to push these disasters off the lots. The morale of the story:
DO NOT BELIEVE CORPORATE LIES!!! The sad reality is however, that the ignorant buyers of Vipers tend to lag behind in the intelligence department. This may be not nice but to see these fools buying these disasters and then bragging about it is fun to watch.

However, for those who are fully brain dead, stupidity coming from clowns like these two should suit them better.

When faced with facts, idiots like this 9 ball aka Tony Whatley look even dumber-and this is quite an accomplishment, LOL.
