I'm pretty sure that I'm in the Minority here, but I like that car. I think that Dodge not at least making a performance Hybrid might be a mistake though instead of just jumping with both feet into the deep end of the electric market.

I think that to offer some type of "Specialty" performance car that ran on fuel is a mistake. For instance, GM is going electric and they made the New Z06, but is will also be offering the E-Ray (which is going to be one Absolutely Incredible performing machine from what I've read).

Dodge should make a Special version of the Viper with an aluminum V8 and either a set of hair dryers (turbo's) or a Big blower (I'm thinking 3l Whipple would work). I think that it would provide some competition with GM (although I still think that the GM might outperform it since it's a mid engine car and they've done their homework on the C8).

This would kind of be FCA's way of not leaving the ICE peeps out to dry. I do like the Hurricane I6 though and its performance potential. I'ts not a fire breathing Hemi but you play the cards that you're dealt!

Just my .02 and you get what you pay for! :D

Sure, the E-Ray will be good if they could just get them to stop catching on fire. So far, they've lost both of their performance prototypes to fire.

Yawn...

This is not a car, it is a toy, albeit a fast toy.

My wife was nearby when I played the ad and she heard some it. I told her that the car has speakers to make it sound like a "real" car. She laughed and said it sounds like someone making "animal flavored vegan food".

Even she understands! :)

Electrics are out for me. Not because I hate em. Because of that crazy combustibility if they do go. They need a droppable battery pack that you can leave outside, and a 750 or so hp ICE to take it in and out of the garage with.

There is such a thing as a recipe. The recipe for apple pie doesn't call for onions. So if you put onions in something you call apple pie, people will be taken aback. Similarly, there is a recipe for a Corvette, a muscle car etc.
