$60k to spend on a car, it certainly wouldn't be a rebadged Lambo Gallardo complete with spontaneously-combusting engine.

I'd rather get a $40k S63 AMG and save the extra for maintenance.

It's only the V8, isn't even comparable to the 997 Turbo which you can get for the same money and still be able to daily drive

>>13876275
The V8 version was my favorite car in forza 3 and 4.

Or.....

You could literally get an M4 with ZERO miles on it for this much money.

>>13879328

While Chrysler owned them, and with the help of American engineers. While modifying another American engine. Then later, the American engineers changed it even further

>>13879338
sent the engine to italy so it could be made

sounds italian to me

>>13879338
>porting it a little bit

100% american engine guise. We v10 masters now

>>13879346
So if it was designed/made in another country, then it belongs to that place?

So the new viper was designed and produced in America, while using a modified engine that was based on the Italian engine. That was originally based on a v8 truck engine (but changed almost completely)

>>13876627
that's funny because most plastics for luxury cars are from the same company nowadays

>>13879363
yes

>>13879387
So the new viper is American because of everything coming from America or being designed in America?

>>13879399
no, since its owned by fiat and the engine is still italian

>>13879402
The engine is made in America.

>>13879410
ok

it is still an engine designed by lamborghini

>>13879413
That was originally a v8 American truck engine.

And American engineers worked on it with the Italians

>>13879418
umm

the viper v10 doesnt shares anything with any dodge engine

>>13879418

>AMERICAN ENGINEERS KNOWING ANYTHING ABOUT NON V8 ENGINES

kek.

>>13879424
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_Viper

The centerpiece of the car was its engine. The Lamborghini Company, then owned by Chrysler Corporation, designed the V10 for the Viper by recasting the block and heads in an aluminum alloy, and was based off Chrysler's V8 engine.

>>13879438
>it's so easy to make a v10 out of a truck v8

chrysler did all the work guise

>>13879438
> The Lamborghini Company, then owned by Chrysler Corporation, designed the V10 for the Viper
>lamborghini designed the v10

ok

thanks for proving me right

prototype based ona v8 =/= production blocks

>>13879448
I was just saying how the v10 was based on a American v8.

Then Italians and Americans worked together to make the v10.

Then Americans modified the v10 later on.

>>13876201
>gawker media

>>13879450

only in you dreams, m8

>Then Americans modified the v10 later on
yeah they ported it

Americans are really the best v10 engineers

>>13879476
Never said we were the best m8.
>only in your dreams
What? A team of American engineers were sent, along with the v8, to work along with the Italians.

>>13879462
>off ov a v8
except it hasres nothing with a v8

if you belive you can fit v8 pieces on a viper v10, you are severely misleaded

>The production Viper would, of course, get a Lamborghini-developed aluminum block.

>>13879482
I would say the same if I was chrysler.
>Lamborghini got a v8 truck engine and some retarded american engineers with cool university degrees.

turning it into a V10 should show you that no american laid his hands on it

Is the 2.0 ecoboost also an american engine ?

>>13879488
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viper_engine
Like I said, it was originally based on a Chrysler v8. I never claimed you could throw v8 parts on it.

>>13879538
>wikipedia

you know everyone can edit it right

it is even asking for a citation on the claim that chrysler engineers worked on the heads

>>13879535
How is that damage control? I've already explained it to you about being based on a v8 and the American engineers working with Italians.

Like I said, I'm sorry you feel the way you do about the history of the viper engine

>>13879535
why are you so butthurt?

I'm sure you prefer sources where one fuck who has no idea what he's talking about has final say rather than a heavily scrutinized source of information with multiple, sourced .. sources of information.

>>13879578
Lamborghini cast the blocks and heads, that's pretty much it.

>>13879578
It's not technically a Lamborghini engine though, it's a Chrysler v8.

That's what the engine was originally designed off of.

>>13876201
It's cheap because it's old and expensive to maintain. Just like used Mercedes'. How is this not common knowledge?

>>13879504
>turning it into a V10 should show you that no american laid his hands on it
Except that Chrysler engineers were doing just that back in the '80s. They had Lamborghini tool the block in aluminum because they had done very little work with it before.

>>13879589
>I know shit

Try applying for an v10 engineer job at chrysler, m8. They need guys like you.
