With no offense towards anyone I just don't see why the Viper needs an auto tranny. The car is a true sports car and IMO a sports car should have a clutch. Maybe an auto can go a couple of tenths faster in the 1/4 and maybe it will shave some time on a road course but that's not enough of a return to give up the thrill of going thru the gears and the challenge that goes along with it!

Also for the amount of autos they may sell it's not worth the R&D, put the money into other areas to make the Viper a better product!
