I think that you didn't really understood my question.

My question was if anyone is sure if it is going to be 8.7l.

I was not saying that I think it is a "green" engine, I just thought that they were going to make it less eco-unfriendly.

You may want to start reading the Viper forum.

The lights are based on the old version, with a slightly more "teardroppy" shape similar to a CGT and reminiscent of the 1st/2nd gen lights.

The new engine will be the 8.7L "bigger, louder, angrier" version of the previous gen V10.

Against all odds, they don't appear to be ruining the car. They're going "everything killer" versus a slathering of eco-stupid.

I never said that the previous models were eco-friendly.
And i never said that i wanted the new model to become some stupid prius look-a-like.

The viper is my favorite car, and believe me, i'm not a priushippie lover.
