Heyo firstly Ferraris are Itallian, and secondly think of who owns Dodge now, Mercedes-Benz. German.

And for domination, yes American cars have muscle but for performance and longevity of a car Germans have us beat. Most German cars are being built with a turbo or super charged engine. American cars are still just engines, and yeah so what if Chrysler has a V-12, (who are also owned by Mercedes) will it hold together after the first hundred thousand miles? Highly doubt it.
Dude - you defiantly don't know your types of engines in your vehicles...

1st off - the Viper is not powered by a V-12. It's a V-10. It's a 8.3 (505 cu) Naturally Aspirated 500 HP, 525 ft/lb torque. The triple 500s. Show me another manufacture that can pull that off w/o any turbos or anything.

If you wanna get nasty - get the Viper Hennessey Venom 800 Twin Turbo. Twin turbo added to that V-10 - will smoke just about anything that those foreign people can throw at it. (800 HP and 800 ft/lbs of torque at the rear wheels!!) - $127,225 *including* price of Viper. Who else can pull that off? Not Ferrari, or any other company that I can think off... (at only 14 lbs of boost it can run the 1/4 mile in 10.0 seconds...) The average life for the turbo engine is 100,000 before any major rebuilds WITH the twin turbo. (lets see some other company do that...)

2nd - What is in the Viper that was engineered by Mercedes? Not a darn thing. The Viper is still 100% American designed. As for the new Chrysler 300 C that has the Mercedes five-speed automatic, as well as a Mercedes steering system, seat structures, electronic architecture, many suspension components and a basic design from the Mercedes E-class, it's still an American car. It's engineering and parts usage is from Germany - but they had to make it fit into the American way.

3rd - If you wish to argue - PM or IM me - I'll be glad to argue. CD.com is meant for fun and all we have been doing is arguing and taking up valuable pixel space...

I'm out.
