Better re-check your info, before you laugh. They DID sell a Dodge
with a t-10 in it. I handle new cars for a living. If you HAD
researched, you would know that.



So you're saying that if I drove a pickup with that motor in it, I would
be an expert on Vipers?

The truck engine you are talking about was designed for a truck and is
cast steel. The viper engine, although basically the same engine, is cast
aluminum. It was based on the truck engine, but modified for the sports
car and is by no means the same engine in practice.

I have driven a Viper and I can't say that it is junk. Nothing that moves
like that is junk.

YMMV

The Audi S6 uses the Viper V-10 engine in an effort to compete with the BMW
M5 series.
Betcha "Eat Me, Trolls " missed that in his handling of new cars.
