RE: Can the viper stand up to this?
It is always a goal to make something "better", however many times goals are not achieved and therefore a risk to build something completely new. This is one reasonautomakers love the retro concepts, they know the look will be accepted, and even better, the majority of the people accepting it are a older generation with $$ sitting in the bank.
I still say a interesting replacement would be some kind of 70 Cuda redesign. Wider, shorterand lower of course. Would be able to share SOME components of the Challenger, which is good for both Chrylser (cost) and the buyer for the same reason.
In my opinion this car should not have any power options,radio, or even a back seat. The car should only have the following things to be concerned with..... Style and performance. Screw the cup holders, MPGs, seat heaters and digital displays telling me it is time for a oil change or what my 0-60 is. Some will say saftely should be a concern, but as long as it passes the fed standards that is all it needs. A car like this is NOT safe. Safety in a car like this is up to the driver, not the automaker.

RE: Can the viper stand up to this?
Well if dodge does get rid of the viper, they better replace it with another v10 because from what I've seen dodge doesn't have a real powerhouse v8 like chevy does. One of my buddys have the dodge magnum srt8, and the best 1/4 mile times he can get is 14.1. For there high v8 they should be able to do better than that. My other buddy has an 02 camaro ss anniversary edition with the SLP package, and he consistenly runs right at 13. In the 1/4 mile that equals what about 10-12 car lengths?

They have the engines, just not in a production car. You are also comparing cars in different classes. Dodge does not ahve anything in the pony car class, well they do now with the Challenger.
