Hellcat Could be the First Viper V8 Engine

Since the Dodge Viper was introduced in the early 90s, it has been powered by a V10 engine because the levels of power offered by that 10 cylinder mill weren’t available in a 50-state street legal V8, but with the introduction of the 600+ horsepower Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat – the new blown V8 could prove to be a proper V8 for the Mopar supercar.
What do you guys think? I'm sure HEMI owners would think it's cool, but what about VIPER owners?

There's a reason I registered HEMIVIPER.COM a long time ago. I think the idea is a great one. :D

The SRT Hellcat engine pumps out a mere 707 horses, trumping the Viper's V10.

Why is Dodge making a Challenger that exceeds their halo? Will the Viper go away?
