Detroit Show: Snake’s out of the bag - New 600Hp 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10
Ah yes, the 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10, a car that "ignited" a few journalistic plugs today. So what’s so important here? Apart from the fact that it was supposed to be officially revealed in a couple of weeks, it gained an extra 90Hp thanks to its revised V10 engine. 
More specifically, the V10 aluminum engine block was revised for a 1-millimeter larger bore, raising the displacement to 8.4 liters from 8.3 liters. It also breathes through new cylinder heads equipped with Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC)-shaped combustion chambers, larger valves and Variable Valve Timing (VVT). These changes raise output to 600 Hp. The 2008 Viper also gets a new transmission which is the latest evolution of the Tremec T56 six-speed manual, known as the TR6060. It features 10 percent wider gears for higher torque capacity and a new synchronizer package. A new shifter system results in reduced shifter travel.
According to Dodge, 0-60 mph comes in under 4 seconds and 0-100-0 mph in just over 12 seconds (braking in under 100 feet). Other changes include a new hood with a larger hood scoop for air induction and larger hood louvers, and new exterior and interior colors. Its official debut will be made at the 2007 Detroit Motor Show in January. Via: Jalopnik & Autoblog.com
