Dodge had one objective when it launched its Viper in 1992. It wanted its hand-built mechanical monster to terrify its human victims with a mixture of brutally fast motoring and unforgiving performance. The Viper was a full-on analog machine, and it quickly became one of the country’s most feared and revered sports cars. But while its legendary V10 engine was the star of the show back then, it clearly wasn’t enough for some enterprising California tuners of today. These creators fitted a latest spec and high-tech inline-six engine instead and the result is a Dodge Viper that’s now sharper, lighter, and measurably better than the original. How did they achieve this breakthrough?
