Sorry, 8.3 ltr.on the Viper. A little over 500 cubes. These turbocharged
high performance imports like the Mitso powered Dodge stealth are lucky to
last 60k without burning oil. The Ferd turbo and supercharged engines have
a lot of problems too. I had a Syclone and it blew 4 engines in 59k miles.
So much for small displacement high output engines. I never want another.
