BumpinSS Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Mod on 350Z website posted some updated info. That color is the actual color of a tree Viper. 200mph with the top down. Now that's some wind in your hair action. I love that green 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."

punkt71 Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Hate to say this... but it looks like the Z06 has been taken down! (until the SS version maybe) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krambo Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Is it just me or are these two cars looking similar these days (viper and Z06)? I always liked the Viper because of its aggressive look, they didn't dissapoint for 08 either IMO. Where is the Blue Devil at???? GM needs a response.

brobradh77 Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Nice but I would rather have a z06. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lewis Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 That is one sick car but i drove the new Z06 and still would go with that car it is f'ing unbelievable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkt71 Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 One thing about the new Viper vs a new Z06 is that the Viper will turn heads going down the street... I see 100 Corvettes a day, and the Z06's do not look much different.. i see at least 1 Z06 a day and I have to look hard to notice it compared to a regular vette. The Viper will ALWAYS turn heads and has a true 'exotic' look and gets the attention like one IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJT13 Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Heeere blue devil blue devil blue devil!!! Blue Devil? Where are you???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streatsboy Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 I've driven my coworkers SRT-10 Ram and started shakin by the time i had second gear wound out So i can't imagine what it would be like in a car... and an additional 95hp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSThunder Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 (edited) Don't worry the blue devil is coming. Vipers are ok but who really wants a dodge. They don't compare to a true american made muscle car(vette) IMO. Just see what Tbyrne has on it's web site: 700+ HP with Stock LS7 Z06's Scroll down some to see. I think that beats the $hit out of 600 HP. I think the blue devil will be out in 2008 or 2009. Anybody know for sure? I did read in a magazine that the new CTS-V is going to have like 600 HP on a tuned down(motor from the blue devil).

I would love that 08 blacked out... inside and out... a stealth mobiles and i am not talking about the mid 90's pos model stealth dodge produced...

adams2003 Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Hate to say this... but it looks like the Z06 has been taken down! (until the SS version maybe) My guess would be that the new viper vs. the z06 would be a close race with the viper barely edging the z06 because of the extra weight the viper carries. My guess is the blue devil or the corvette ss will have no problem spanking that ass though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluess24 Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 ya but you gotta think you get all that out of a vette for 75000 and you have to pay almost a 100,000 for only a few more tenths of a second Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
