The point of adding displacement is they can make more USEABLE(flat torque curve) power while still in a relaxed state of tune.
And lets not compare the cardboard Speed Six which wouldnt not pass emissions or crash tests here, which the Viper has to deal with.
And as already stated, it does, and always has handled. You really need to stop watching top gear...
You need to do some research on the Speed Six engine. The 380BHP @ 7000RPM the the speed six makes in the Sagaris is VERY USEABLE. For instance, the Sagaris is capable of naught to sixty in only 3.7 seconds, and to get to 100 only takes another 4.4-and for the hoes at home, that's 0-100mph in 8.1 seconds. Enlarging is not, I'll say that again, is not a bad thing, however, when the engine is already 8L there is no need to make it bigger.
Of course, you attack the reliability and quality of the Speed Six, because as a good American that's what you do. You use a grossly generalised and quite outdated beleif about something to make it look weak, rather than elevating what you are supporting, simply cut down the competion. Almost all of the issues with the speed six, by all accounts, were resolved before the end of production. Yes, there still were the engines the burn up at 10 and 12 thousand miles, but those were the exception and not the rule.
