Just the engine itself is low tech in terms of kw per L of capacity. Lower than most production cars produced these days. But yes like you said I’m not the biggest fan of American cars.

Unfortunately for Chrysler, there are a number of factors that are deleterious to the machine reflecting competent engineering under such a task when compared to competition: Weight and inertia, archaic engineering, compromised build quality, and fuel consumption to state but a few. God bless Klutz. The machine would have reflected far more commendable engineering had it maintained a pace over say 1000km rather than doing a quick lap.

It doesn't just take a high tech engine alone to go fast around a track. And this Viper proved it.
