200+ MPH achieved in a stock SRT vehicle!!!

All I can say is WOW!!!!!!!!!!! (Imagine what it would do with a 180 t-stat!!)


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."

Listening to the song "CONVOY" by C.W. McCall. I think I am going to hit the limiter today...

If the limiter was off... I'd be hunting for that damn Ferrari that blew the doors off the diesel SUV I was driving a week ago.

The '08 Z06 is rated at 198 MPH. I'm not sure if they are still rating it at 505hp.

"Rated" and actual performance can be vastly different, especially when one is dealing with Brand X.
