I'm really hoping this is an April Fool's joke 6 months late.

Ed Wright · 10-01-2010, 11:04 AM

Figured maybe 275 hp? Even more bogus than the 5.9?

NewHemi · 10-01-2010, 11:10 AM

The 2011's will have all sorts of new engine options... I won't let those other cats out of the bag yet, But the 2011 cars are coming race ready...

Consequently So you won't have to wait so long to see one a track near you. Or in the lane next to you.

So, be afraid.... Be very afraid!

Thanks for posting the pictures. That is a very good looking car. I like the hood better than the 2010 Drag Paks.

There are a couple of things that I noticed. I didn't see a factory weight box, but that shouldn't be a problem. It doesn't appear to have much set back to the engine. That may be due to it being a V10. I would be a little concerned about getting it to hook if it makes power like the other combos have been on 9" tires.

A two speed? You mean to tell me Mopar Race Engineers cannot manage all that torque with a 3 or 4 speed auto in an all out racecar even with a 9 inch tire? I hope this is a misprint or a joke. Maybe they should have contacted Pro Trans first. Here we go again.

Been looking at the new Camaro race spec........ It's a bit too heavy.

Power? maybe. But the v-10 Viper engine is ALL aluminum! But I don't know what it weighs compared to a new Hemi or conventional Mopar small block.

Jeff Lee · 10-01-2010, 05:32 PM

The newest Viper has a 640 or 650 HP option above the standard 600 HP. Basically headers, cat-back and air filter mods. Wild-***-guess I would say these V-10 will be at least 850 HP as delivered. And we haven't even seen what the compression and cam specs are. There's probably some CNC heads on the horizon as well.
I know Mopar tried submitting a V-10 to NHRA previously and NHRA was not interested. My, what a difference a day makes!
