"a Dodge pickup with that motor in it"

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.



And if you had done your research you would know that the Chrysler V-10
truck engine (no longer used) is a far cry from the V-10 Viper engine.

The truck engine was a cast iron block, 300 hp, 400 lbs/ft of torque at
relatively low RPM. (It's a truck engine)

When the original Viper came out, Chrysler turned the V-10 engine design
over to Lamborghini (who Chrysler owned a part of) and the engine was
completely redesigned. In addition to an all aluminum block, some unique
features of the Viper version of the V-10, versus the truck engine, included
a low-profile cross-ram intake with dual throttle bodies, the manifolds, oil
pan, heads, and accessory drive; the compression ratio was raised, the
pistons lightened, the maximum engine speed increased, the valves enlarged,
the rods and crank strengthened. In the end, few components were shared with
the truck engine. (Direct quote from Chrysler)

The 2008 version develops over 600 hp.

I agree, though, the Ford GT is impressive. And I actually *have* driven
one along with a few Ford trucks.

Go sell a Pirus or something.
