ive seen this 675hp beast in question...and its amazing at how little goes into the car to get it up to that...i did an article about it, but we are having some site issues at that site...i took a bunch of pictures of it...
the site just wont work...[:'(]
however, i did not know about the weight cuts...i think that is one area where DCX really needs to take a look at things from an engineering standpoint...their cars have a ton of power, but they all weigh SO much...
It seems to me that in this Viper they have gone back on some of the ideas that hurt the 2003-2006 Viper. It appears that they get it that the Viper should weigh less. It doesn't surprise me that they are able to get some much extra hp & tq out of it. Hennesey was able to more than double the V10's hp & tq with twin-turboes; meanwhile, the Chrysler ME-412 needed 4 turboes to get 850 hp on a 48 valve V12. There is no replacement for displacement.
