2013 Dodge Viper Coming in Late 2012 With Stability Control

Post by Sabre »

Torque report
Dodge engineers are hard at work on the next-gen 2013 Dodge Viper. The new Viper is currently being tested, using a 2010 chassis as the test subject. What are they testing here? Well for the first time ever the Dodge Viper is going to get stability control.

Dodge didn't give any other details about the new Viper that will debut at the end of next year. It's expected to put out somewhere between 600-700 horsepower, but it's not yet known what engine will be under the hood.
I've always had a soft spot for the Vipers...

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

And with relatively little weight, 2 wheel drive, and 600+ hp, having stability control is a nice safety net. Just make sure it has an off switch.
All my cars have drum brakes and are sub 200 hp, what am I doing with my life?
