Dodge Viper 4th Generation ZB

Well, I'm fairly confident it is anyway. If so, 8.4 Litres. V10. 600 brake. 3.3 seconds for 0-60....It should be on the Bonneville flats, not parked up outside a second rate casino....

The Dodge had never really been given it's due. When people talk of 'America's only sportscar', they mention just the Corvette. The big, bad, truck-engined Dodge, never gets a mention. I'm unsure why.

Sure, it's a pig. It's heavy, the cabin is sparsely decorated and the pedals are very binary in their feedback. But at full tilt, it cannons the driver and his passenger to the horizon as fast as they'd possibly want.

The early Viper's were real Neanderthal cars, but come the third and fourth generation, input by consultants from McLaren and Ricardo brought a level of supercar performance that was only but a dream when the first cars were released fifteen years previously. By this time, Dodge had seen considerable success with various Viper permutations campaigned by teams such as Zakspeed and Oreca in events such as the Le Mans Series and the FIA GT championships. Competition pedigree is always lauded by manufacturers and Chrysler wasted little time in releasing homologation versions such as the GT2.
