The last sentence in the commentary is “the Chrysler Daimler marriage is built to last”.

Re: review by motorweek

Are those 0-60 actually legitimate? I have a feeling that's what Daimler told them to say but I'd imagine even stock SRT would be faster.

Video or it didn't happen

Actually I can believe it on a straight line but that viper would probably pick up steam later on down the line

Was that a viper? Where did you get this video from? Would love to watch the whole one.

Yeh but wasn't that your V8 Crossfire? Lol
THat Viper was asleep at the wheel. No way was the SRT that competitive if Viper got a normal start. Your V8 would definitely beat a stock viper but this was unusually slow!
