Supercharged Viper?

http://horsepowerkings.com/reports-a...update-coming/

I've been seeing rumors of SRT releasing a supercharged Viper to move it back on top of the line up. I get that they would want the Viper to be back on top of the pyramid but with the lack of sales, a supercharged Viper doesn't make sense.

Has it even made a huge enough profit to justify this?

They should just ditch the Viper entirely. Maybe bring it back as a low production mid-engined supercar like Ford did with the GT. Or bring it back as a more reasonably priced sports car more comparable to the base Vette. The two can co-exist the same way Camaro and Vette can get along. The whole $120K Viper thing isn't working, regardless of whether it has 650 or 800 HP.

I think they'd sell more RAMS with this engine than they'll ever sell in Vipers.

FCA, here's your inspiration, right down to the supercar DOORS: Behold, the ANACONDA!

Great, another $15,000 tacked onto the price.

Will it be AWD?

It can't launch 640 hp now. If it can't out dig the GT-R, 911 Turbo, and Huracon it will still be called a "fail." Even by the Viper (semi) faithful.

Will it be DCT/Lightning-fast Auto?

The people who can afford the above cars prefer autos - sales figures don't lie.

It's already, unfortunately, dead. It either goes away, again, for good or it comes back like the original - a car that 1 in 5 will get totaled and half get wrecked.

The critics will poo-poo it no matter the direction the Viper takes.

Don't hold your breathe for a S/C V10 in a viper from the factory. It will stay N/A. And power wise dont expect too much.

According to the Pentastar performance enthusiasts at allpar.com, Chrysler has already taken delivery of the first such prototype engines so that it can begin the process of fitting it into an upgraded Viper.
