Not the Jeep, and I can't say that I would want to go that fast in one of our rigs...

But congrats to Team SRT, they broke the 200 mph barrier with the new 2008 Viper:


2008 Viper exceeds 200 mph during track test

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."

I bet!!!!!!

Me want one...anyone know the pricing on them?

I'm just not that excited about Vipers.....or Corvettes for that matter. :shrug:

I had my 06 ZO6 going 190mph down RT75 here in Tampa. I can't amagine doing it in a convertable. As for the new Viper it's nice but I would get another Vette aspecially the newest Z coming out.
