Dodge Viper / SRT 10 gets Sledgehammer Power!

aah78 · 27th January 2007, 04:12

The Dodge Viper!
One of the most ostentatious and impractical super-cars ever to come out of America!

First introduced as a concept by a financially troubled Chrysler Corp. in 1989, it finally made it to production in 1992.

The engine was knocked-off from a Dodge truck - a humongous 7.9l V10 made by adding on 2 cylinders to an already huge V8 to generate 400hp!

Beauty with a Beast: A truck-engine, rudimentary suspension, bone-jarring ride, ear-jarring sound, cheap interiors, a muscle-building clutch and gear shift coupled together with a ridiculously high price tag (add a $3000 gas-guzzler tax) couldn't stop this monster from quickly becoming the most lusted after sports-car in USA.

There was no denying it. This car grabbed your attention - took you by the horns (in Dodge speak). You couldn't miss it.

The engine was upgraded once in the mid-90's to produced 450hp but obviously this wasn't enough! In 2003 the capacity was pumped upto 8.3l to give out a very pleasing 500hp and 525lb-ft of torque.

The current engine bored to 8.4l has had it's bhp and torque figures increased by 10 each.
Here's a look at the beautiful monster:

Now, however, Dodge's SRT mechanics have gone bonkers!
The new 2008 Dodge Viper has been given Berserker Strength (Doom)!
It now outputs an IMMENSE!!! 600hp and 560lb-ft of torque!

i love it, cant wait to add an example in my garage someday..

pawan · 27th January 2007, 13:10

the car is oneof the car i would like to have in my garage and will take this car over any European cars but have you guys heard about the Dodge Hennessey Viper Venom 1000 its sad to have the viper world record of 0-100k in 2.2sec and puts out 1000 bhp and 1492 nm torque its based on the srt10.

1Day · 27th January 2007, 13:18

yes but then there is a 1000 hp package for saleen said to be in under 2 sec to 60 mark but who knows, you can never connect the tires to get that great a time. Anyhow this production version would be not too shabby and even though its brand new in another few months there will be a 10k discount on it...hmmm...

pawan · 27th January 2007, 14:34

ya its called the Saleen S7 Twin-Turbo Competition its has 1000 bhp and maximum rpm of 6000 it does 0-60mph at 2.6sec its a package too bad its not road legal only the 750 bhp is legal.

v1p3r · 27th January 2007, 22:04

Well, Marko Djuric ran a 1500+ bhp Supra, with a 1.056 0-60 mph time. Wonder how he managed to put that power down.

* GULP *

Now thats a car and a half!

theMAG · 27th January 2007, 22:16

I've still not come to terms with the 8.5L engine in all the years its been in existence. I wonder whether Tata wouldnt mind replicating the same thing from one their lorry engines here and presenting the Indian supercar - the Indica XB (extra bonnet)

I would like to see a video for this to be considered legit, claims and actually pulling off is totally different, but i dont doubt it, but still would love to see..

just to clarify i am talking about the 0-60 time, i have seen his dyno videos

oh lgeez....put all this stuff on a bullock cart and it will crack the 8 sec 1/4 mile time too....

v1p3r · 29th January 2007, 11:40

That's a 2-speed PowerGlide tranny. And some insane RON racing fuel. Not street-legal. Djuric runs 1500 odd horses on a street car with street boost and street gas. Of course, what street he lives on, heaven alone knows.

BTW: Titan Motorsports is owned by an Indian.

Finally the Viper is putting out half decent figures for an engine of that size. Yay.
