the Vipers were basically banned from winning by rule changes as soon as they slaughtered the rest of the field. That was suspiciously coincidental with GM's renewed focu$ on ALMS.

there was also the craptastic decision of chrysler to back off of support

There was only one Viper at the ALMS race at the 2005 Road America and several vettes that were factory backed.
Oh and don't mention SCCA and ALMS in the same breath, the owner/driver of our car took second place in the car raced in SCCA and ALMS and they took a piece of white duct tape and put it over his SCCA patch of his driving suit while standing on the podium before pictures were taken.

to be fair, anyone knows you shouldn't really compare a forced fed witn a n/a.
lets say you do the job yourself. the ZR1 costs 100k, put in a smaller pulley, bigger exhausts then retune the chip and you'll maybe get 750 hp right? and now it's up more or less 5k.
so that's about 20k to mod the SRT10 mmmh, mmmh, mmh. twin turbos, a proper adjustable suspension, etc, etc. 800 hp minimum, 900+ if you know what you're doing. get my point?
