Production

[edit]

Who the hell said that the Dodge Viper's production is going to end? They're gonna need a reference. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.122.121.65 (talk) 01:33, 8 March 2010 (UTC)<!Template:UnsignedIP -->[reply]

According to Dodge's Website, 2010 is the last model year for the CURRENT GENERATION viper. Not the end of the viper it's self. There needs to be references.--Brainiack16 (talk) 19:46, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I added a new section with details regarding the next generation of 2012 and beyond. I feel it is useful for people who want info regarding/researching the Viper to have the info and links to the original articles about the CEO's announcement. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.116.88.119 (talk) 13:47, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Not much is known, but is expected to be based on Alfa Romeo's c8." - expected by whom ??

[edit]

The 2012 prototype new viper was shown to the Dodge dealers and the Viper Owner's Invitational convention in Salt Lake City on October 2, 2010 - no photos allowed. It is NOT based on an Alfa C8. Where did that come from ? Whose wild guess ?? pure speculation without basis. If anything the 2012 Gen V Viper resembles a Viper GTS coupe on steroids.

Yes, why is this even on the page. It was baseless speculation from Car and Driver magazine and as has already been said is wrong. What say we remove it ok?.(Hostile Rain (talk) 04:51, 29 September 2011 (UTC))[reply]


There is also a new third generation Viper logo unveiled to owners and allowed to photograph. Yes this logo is named "Stryker". I will find the official announcement by Ralph Gilles and link it.

This assumption was based on Fiat owning Chrysler and Chrysler hinting at using tech from other Fiat owned brands in the new Viper. People just speculated that it'll share a chassis with the 8C because it's the best candidate for chassis sharing out of the Fiat family of cars. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.75.32.53 (talk) 22:02, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

That article by Ed Hellwig is the only ever source I could find that claims the SLS is derived from a Viper project. It has no backing as far as I can see. I doubt it as such a project would have made the Viper the most advanced car in production in America. with such small volumes, I don't see it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.251.42.57 (talk) 16:32, 7 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Engine torque (fifth generation)

[edit]

In the engine part of the fifth generation, it says that it will have the naturally aspirated engine with the most torque. As far as I can see, the Aston Martin One-77 but I'm not a specialist so i'm not totally sure if it's engine is naturally aspirated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.203.33.5 (talk) 20:45, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you don't know why bother saying anything? Anyone who watched the unveiling knows that the 2013 Viper has the highest output naturally-aspirated engine in the world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.119.49.147 (talk) 22:05, 6 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]


SRT Viper Copyright?

Seriously, no mention of Viper (TV series)? --37.4.121.179 (talk) 20:10, 5 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Snickers Promotion

[edit]

Wasn't there a promotion with Snickers back in the early 90's where someone could win a Viper from a code in the wrapper? 68.80.62.93 (talk) 01:57, 27 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

New section for 2013+ Viper?

[edit]

What is the reason the 2013+Viper (5th generation) is combined into the same section with the previous generation third and fourth generation? Expandinglight5 (talk) 03:33, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The all use the same engine, borrow the same wheelbase, and carry the same kind of transmission. Especially with the 2008+ models, which use an 8.4 V-10. 2607:FB90:492:2DD:0:15:98AA:2501 (talk) 04:09, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Separating concepts from variants.

[edit]

I am going to add a new section titled "Concepts" to separate the concepts from the Viper variants such as the TA and ACR. F-16 Viper (talk) 04:15, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you include the Zagato and Prefix car as concepts if they weren't produced by Chrysler? Expandinglight5 (talk) 06:17, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't add them to the article but I will move them to the variants section. F-16 Viper (talk) 05:54, 9 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The main photo?

[edit]

The current "main" picture looks terrible. The Viper is too small, and isn't even centred in the picture. Can somebody please put a better one up? 142.162.196.44 (talk) 18:56, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Phases?

[edit]

This is the only auto page I've seen which refers to generations or model codes as "phases". Is this an official term that was used by Dodge & SRT? Or did someone make it up? --Vossanova o< 14:55, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I see that Porsche 991 also uses "phase", although it was changed from "generation" on October 24, 2017 ([1]). I guess the idea is that a "phase" is considered more than a "refresh" or "facelift" within a generation (in this case, 991), and may have its own model code (991.1, 991.2). So for Dodge Viper, there are three generations, and the first two each have two phases. I can ask on WP:CAR if that's clear. --Vossanova o< 17:22, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

repeated picture repeated

[edit]

Not reading the article right now, but i suspect File:Dodge Viper GTS (9402840088).jpg shouldn't be in the article twice. Wonder if Wikipedia:Manual of Style says anything about duplicate pictures... 96.244.220.178 (talk) 11:29, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Dodge Viper is considered a supercar

[edit]

The term "supercar" is subjective to say the very least. There is no true, concrete definition of what defines the differences between sports cars and supercars on the wikipedia pages that describe both terms. The dodge viper has set many records far above other cars listed in the supercar section. I understand that many people on here (not all) have zero clue about what the differences are other that it has a mid-engine and is from Europe (eyeroll). The dodge viper, like the Ford GT is most definitely a supercar. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jwittenso (talk • contribs) 12:55, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Per the Wikipedia:WikiProject Automobiles conventions found at WP:CARCLASS: "[S]ome classes are too subjective and should be avoided, such as "supercar", "hypercar", and "exotic"." For this reason, the classification should be left as "sports car". IPBilly (talk) 14:21, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
