Dodge Viper 640 hp to 645 hp - is 5 hp upgrade noticeable?
As we all know, Chrysler Group increased the HP rating of the Dodge Viper from 640 hp to 645 hp for the latest model year.
Thing is: Can people even tell the difference between 640 hp and 645 hp?

Depends on how much the 5 HP figure affects torque. Torque is usually what you feel in acceleration...HP more for overcoming air resistance at higher speeds. Engineers spend a lot of time programming HP/torque curves for how they want the engine to respond at various RPMs.
I also agree with Hoovey that the heavier the vehicle and the larger the engine, the less effect you will be likely to notice.
