Viper V10 at Baja

From El Cheese

Here are a couple of photos of the car. I have many more and I'm putting them together in a disc.

This is what 500K can buy you!

We tested on Saturday. The car ran flawless. It needs spring and shock testing but its not bad right out of the box. The engine is unbelievable. Mike Joulson the owner of Jimco and multiple Baja winner said its the best engine he's ever driven. All the power that you need and immediate response. Remember that this is a 4800 lb car, see the photo of the trucks and you can get an idea of the size of the car. Those are 39 inch BFG project tires.

Mike took me for a 8 mile test loop at over 135 mph over terrain that you would have a hard time hiking over. There are sections that look like someone buried Volkswagens, bumps 4-5 feet tall and we were up on top at full speed. On the pavement the car will go over 145mph but we need to work on the aero at the front of the car. The air coming though the front tries to rip you head off.

We went down the pavement at full speed, 4th gear for about 5 miles, the water temp never went over 190, and the oil was 200.

John wants to put the car in SEMA. He will custom paint the car like a snake if Dodge would put it in the their display. You have to see it person to really understand how impressive it is.
