It will sound like it has a zero-f@#ks-given V10.

Vipers are the automotive equivalent of a hot woman with an ugly voice. Like, shut your mouth and let me just look at you moving around.

Had a last-gen ACR go by me yesterday - sounded great! Loud, mean and had a nice rumble with a nasty bark at higher rpm. It definitely didn't sound "ugly" or "bad".

^^^ With JonBoy on that!

Maybe earlier Vipers didn't sound the greatest but everything on these cars has just gotten better and better.

I suspect you're right, but maybe they have a very progressive spring rate? Nah, you're probably right.

Near idle and wot it sounds amazing, insane, imo but between 1500-4500 rpms sounds pretty lame, but if you are on it hard it's never in that range and if you aren't, it's got a nice stereo.

About 1100 lb springs on the current car. With the KWs on pretty soft it's more comfortable than a stock ap1. It bounces less and is much less harsh. I would expect much of the same.

The interior might look nice but contrasting stitching and suede don't exactly weigh anything. They removed the heavy stereo from the normal Viper and what's left to remove after that would result in very negligible losses.

If money wasn't hard to come by, this would be my number one choice of car in the $100,000-$200,000 price range. Such a sexy beast.
