This is one of those examples of where dealerships won't (or can't ) work on something past a certain age. In this case the dealer can pull codes but don't have the ability to flash anything pre-CAN. For a 2004 they would've had a DRBIII in the past; for PCI bus vehicles it's a magic box lol...

Especially when piss poor planning on someone else's part is the reason it fails.

Stayed home after spending the whole day out on the water getting cooked.....then had a nice severe thunderstorm that was powerful enough to knock over tress and power out across three counties. Spent the evening of the 4th into the 5th sweating my ass off inside my own house because somehow...

Did she believe you....?

I want to see it happen, not so much want one or could ever afford one. Through the years, even as advanced and powerful as it got, ultimately the V10 (all versions) was the child of an LA360. I think a clean sheet design with those features would be amazing. I would read that engineering...

You can make 4 digits all day with enough boost or displacement (but it take a prohibitive amount of displacement to do it). Now imagine a hemi headed, smooth firing 76° V10.....with boost.

But how many of those are naturally aspirated? And how many are actually streetable; actual street manners, not "it has 4 tires so technically I can drive it on the street" lol? 700+ NA hp with manners is damn good, especially when it's in a car that only weighs 3400 lbs.

North of 700 NA is low lol? The last iteration of the 8.4 V10 was about 650 hp NA.

Looks like someone kept going after the factory stopped testing: https://thecrankshopvt.com/viper-motor-parts.html

In a truck absolutely not lol. A supercharged V8 gets the job done with more power plus mileage that's still in the double digits not to mention cheaper to build than a low production one off engine. Now an actual Viper, with a proper 72° V10 with hemi heads (like they were prototyping before...

Based on your own numbers lol: The trans (4.71 1st gear) & diff gearing (3.92) heavily favors launch and acceleration, however I think they may be under rating the engine output. 11.6 is the "official" number but there has been no timeslip nor video at a track posted as of yet.

He was probably told to baby the prototype since the original announcement driver went screaming around beating on it doing burnouts lol. It uses the TRX wide body, right where the fenders meet the doors are extractors. TK said there would be other colors besides yellow, which is good because I...

Ketchup and catsup.....same exact thing, based on the same Chinese words for "fermented fish sauce". Spelling preference by region and manufacturer.

I was like WTF is a doner....it's "Donner" lol.

The Aussie only Valiant Charger. To me it looks like they started with a 67-69 Barracuda fastback, which makes sense considering it's based on the A body platform.
