Default New R&T talks about the new SS!!!!!

It just has a little paragraph to crush the ego of the new 2008 Viper. The article talks about the 600 bhp Viper that will be out in mid 07, and also has a small section about the Corvette SS.



SC LS7??..

How much does a Viper convertible weigh? How much stiffening does it take to make the convertible suitable for high horsepower?

Is GM paying attention to this competition?

The heat extracting hood is a definate plus in addition to looking good...especially for us open track guys.

This new Viper is a only stopgap to catch the Z06...the next Gen Viper is due 2010 with a complete body redesign and even more horsepower!
We are on the verge to witness the greatest horsepower war that ever existed!

The Viper doesn't look half as good as the vette underneath it. The Viper is starting to look "ricey".

On the R&T picture of the SS I see 4 little things on the passenger side below the front brake outlet. Any guesses?

You can say that again, I did see a pick with the hood like the C6R, not raised but lowered.
