I was expecting this new 2008 Viper with an extra 80 HP to have a HEMI, but I guess now.
Has Dodge tweeked the SRT-10 engine to the point where adding a HEMI wouldnt work without redoing the enitre engine? Or that the SRT-10 engine creates more power on it's own than it would with a HEMI?

The Viper is the Viper because of the V10 engine. Dodge has other platforms where they use the hemi and that's where the hemi should stay. I have an 06 Viper Coupe and the V10 has unimaginable torque. I don't think the hemi could provide that type of torque.

a Viper has a huge long nose, to fill it up you need a long V-10. you can make huge modifications to it to make it go even faster. they used to put V-10's in the trucks but i guess it took away from tow power for speed.

BECAUSE ITS A LESSER ENGINE THAN THE V 10 IN THE VIPER.
thatd be like putting a six cylinder engine in the corvette

Why? If it ain't broke..don't fix it. The Viper rules the way it is.
