… Another car that’s cheaper than the current Viper :oj: It’s supposed to compete with 911 Turbo but cost less. Twin turbo V8, 503hp and 456ft/lbs. I certainly looks great: ![http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--UVMX4rcJ--/c_fit,fl_progressive,q_80,w_636/bllngo94nfwosuskwfwo.jpg](http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--UVMX4rcJ--/c_fit,fl_progressive,q_80,w_636/bllngo94nfwosuskwfwo.jpg) ![http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/u6ylqxm6iw77wreaaewd.jpg](http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/u6ylqxm6iw77wreaaewd.jpg) ![http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/fgc1sixug8reqyxqkrmw.jpg](http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/fgc1sixug8reqyxqkrmw.jpg) ![http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/cymanbzso1b55g8iyxem.jpg](http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/cymanbzso1b55g8iyxem.jpg) ![http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/uz2wa4dabogizsd3vivt.jpg](http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/uz2wa4dabogizsd3vivt.jpg) ![http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/ttrkqexgrf0wnzkquc7s.jpg](http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/ttrkqexgrf0wnzkquc7s.jpg) ![http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/t40s7hrn8tr8pvxiuoss.jpg](http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/t40s7hrn8tr8pvxiuoss.jpg) ![http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/rplyjpuuthkgbng77bpx.jpg](http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/rplyjpuuthkgbng77bpx.jpg) ![http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/burne2xjy0zrmgyazsoz.jpg](http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/burne2xjy0zrmgyazsoz.jpg) ![http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/j0vkmdystvpnd8ogh6nr.jpg](http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/j0vkmdystvpnd8ogh6nr.jpg) ---

it would make sense to bring this in around that price… $15k - $20k more than a Z06 for something 100x more luxurious and .75x as performance oriented. ---

A viper is a cowboy / red neck super car. it implies a lack of sophistication and a total NFG attitude. That’s not a bad thing… it’s just a thing. The AMG is a very refined and sophisticated car. Performance is only one factor that plays here. The level of trim, the service that comes along with it at the dealer. The type of chicks it pulls 🙂 The viper pulls the kind of chicks you could pull as a low-level coke dealer. The AMG pulls chicks that can keep their coke habit a secret for a long while… ---

You _could_ be right, but lets not jump to conclusions, considering the American Flagship car holds most records on your schnitzel race tracks. Going with what you said… the V8 n/a should produce the power a twin turbo v8 is doing. Who is to say this isn’t like your sack riding viper? Underpowered from the factory but able to take to a tune? Who is to say the manufacture isn’t putting something out reliable instead with numbers like that? Also… AMG \> Dodge anything > [@ubengineering](#): > > Honestly I’d rather have a Ford GT right… because that’s anywhere in the ball park of the cars we have been talking.
