Sites good innit. You know you wanna

Check it out, loads of low down power, 300bhp@wheels at 2500rpm, over 500 by 4k, 900 by 5k, and over 1000@wheels (whats that at fly ) at 6400!
Awesome power band and power delivery.


Reckon its good for 1200@wheels but didnt trust the rods

And thats not the most powerful by a fair way actually, like he says, even he is now building a 1400bhp@wheels car

I think it looks awful - cheap and nasty. And as for trying to control 1000bhp through the rear wheels, You'd have to be the reincarnation of Senna to keep the thing on the road !!!!!

Well this is a tuned Viper, it will be interesting to see what MTM in Germany can do to the Veyron when they tune it further...

I'd still rather have a Veyron than a Dodgey Viper due to the fact thats its built by VW so no reliabilty factors or dodgy build quality
You say that but on the official press launch one broke its water pump. Resulting in a 24 hour (as in 3 x 8 hour shifts of techs) splitting the car in half to get to the front of the engine and r&r it. 24 Hours is a lot too!
