Default 2008 Dodge Viper SRT-10

6, yes 600 HP

Except for an SR-71 Blackbird or a Saturn V rocket, the Dodge Viper is the absolute last vehicle that needs any more power. So naturally, the sick bastards at Chrysler's SRT unit (that's Street and Racing Technology) have given the 2008 Dodge Viper more power. A lot more power.......

This is going to be serious threat on the streets now -- GM will need to find another 100hp in the Z06 to keep street cred alive

Nice to read that SRT team did this achievement without a need of a supercharger blower.

Not really. More like another 50HP. The current SRT-10 is about 3-400LBS heavier. Chances are this 08 one will be heavier than the current one. So the Z06 does not need to get to 600HP to mach the SRT-10 because of its lighter weight.
