2008 Dodge Viper goes 200+ [208mph] in Testing. Vert hits 197 with top down :



It's simple math. Add 600 horsepower to the 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 Coupe and Convertible in order to go greater than or faster than 200 miles per hour. That's just what an '08 Viper Coupe and Convertible did during recent testing at the 7.5 mile long oval at the Transportation Research Center in East Liberty, Ohio. Powered by Viper V-10 engines that now generate 600 horsepower, both super sports cars broke the barrier by averaging more than 200 mph. "The Coupe and Convertible have similar drag numbers, so we are not surprised they ran almost identical top speeds," Jeff Reece of SRT Vehicle Development, said. What surprised everyone was the Convertible going 197 mph with the top down. Driver Erich Heuschele of SRT Vehicle Dynamics described that particular test as "Breezy."

Daimer-chrysler AG sold a big part of chrysler apparently to a company in new york, leaving only 20 percent of company to mercedes.. that is unusual, i wonder what the jeep will do if they lose out on the v6 CDI from mercedes..
or if we will see a neon powered smart car ... how odd..
