I just wonder what kind of mileage that V10 Hemi will
provide. I`d love that kind of horsepower,and you
can`t get any more bling bling than when cruising
around in a Viper,but gas costs would KILL you with a
motor like that,wouldn`t it? 6-8 MPG city,maybe? I`ll
keep my Dak,thanks. I actually believe,and some of you
may take me to task on this,but the best motor for any
Viper is a Lean-Burn 2 bbl 318,like some `78 Valiants
and Cordobas had. What a RUSH!! Heh heh. You`d be in a
class all your own with a car like that! That`s 150
tire-raping horsepower to you and me! :) Steve P.
