SRT is in a crappy corporate position where Fiat will not allow them the tools and the room necessary to make the Viper what it needs to be. Viper sales are non-existent for a two fold reason. It is too expensive for what it currently is as offered and more importantly it is handcuffed by fiat not allowing Viper anywhere near their top production car the Ferrari F12. This includes not allowing the HP to be close, does anyone believe the largest displacement motor available in a car is only capable of 640hp, and not allowing Pirelli to supply SRT with it's top tire equivalent to the michilen cup tire on the top Z06/ZR1 models that allow them to post the incredible magazine numbers.
Current news is the viper is due for a '15 refresh which will likely include a 20hp boost as well as the introduction of the ACR with 30-40hp more than current. This will allow room for a 645hp challenger to top the current GT500.
At then end of the day though, the base for Viper sales is too small and too saturated. And I am a viper fanatic.
