I personally have mixed feelings:

For me the positive is that I think it is cool that the Viper has the SRT that holds true to the Vipers in the past where it is bare bones and built for speed while the GTS is luxurious with the leather wrapped everything and both seats coming from the same company as Ferrari (which most of us know is also owned by Fiat) while still holding true to its history. Furthermore, I don't think it would be a bad thing to get a European perspective and F1 technology to help the Viper go faster around the track when the Gen IV ACR set very high standards.

The only real negative is I feel Fiat is keeping the Viper from being the true horsepower and torque monster that made it famous and destroyed the competition mainly because they don't want the Viper to have a greater horsepower to weight ratio than the Ferrari (F12) and beats its "sibling" that carries a price tag that is 2x-3x more. I mean the Viper disappears for 3 years and there is only an extra 40 horsepower increase compared to almost 100 hp during the 1 year break from 2006-2008? Honestly, I was really disappointed when I heard that during the official launch since I was expecting at least 700 hp.

What are everyone's thought about Fiat owning Chrysler now in regards to its impact on the Viper?
