yea but that viper engine doesnt redline near as high as ur jap motor...its all juss a balance...plus american manufacturers dont push their motors as hard as other countries for sum reason...case in point...the new bmw m3 has a 4.0 liter that puts out over 400hp...new mustang has a 4.6 liter that only puts out 300...bmw has higher redline and the motor is maxxed out alot more then the stang...stupid american car manufacturers...
