About Dodge Viper
Dodge Viper car - photo wallpapers; Megawallpapers.org: The Dodge Viper is the most powerful production car made by Dodge. Production of the two seat sports car, the Dodge Viper, began at New Mack Assembly in 1992 and moved to its current home at Conner Avenue Assembly in October 1995.

beginning in March 1989. The team asked then-Chrysler subsidiary Lamborghini to cast some prototype aluminum blocks based on their V10
truck engine for sports car use in May. The production body was
completed in the fall, with a chassis prototype running in December.
Though a V8 was first used in the test mule, the V10 which the
production car was meant to use was ready in February 1990. Official approval from Chrysler chairman, Lee Lacoca, came in May 1990. One year later, Carroll Shelby piloted a preproduction car as the Indianapolis 500 pace car. In November 1991, the car was released to reviewers with first shipments ...
