This was posted on another site:

200+ MPH achieved in a stock SRT vehicle!!! - Chrysler 300C & SRT8 Forums



2008 Viper exceeds 200 mph during track test

It's simple math. Add 600 horsepower to the 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 Coupe and Convertible in order to go greater than or faster than 200 miles per hour. That's just what an '08 Viper Coupe and Convertible did during recent testing at the 7.5 mile long oval at the Transportation Research Center in East Liberty, Ohio. Powered by Viper V-10 engines that now generate 600 horsepower, both super sports cars broke the barrier by averaging more than 200 mph. "The Coupe and Convertible have similar drag numbers, so we are not surprised they ran almost identical top speeds," Jeff Reece of SRT Vehicle Development, said. What surprised everyone was the Convertible going 197 mph with the top down. Driver Erich Heuschele of SRT Vehicle Dynamics described that particular test as "Breezy."

The 2008 Viper SRT Coupe didnt just run 200 mph.......... it is my understanding that it exceeded 204 mph.

Well if the current model ran 194.5 at 510HP, then with 600HP, 200MPH shouldn't be an issue.

You know what sucks most about the UK gun restrictions? The fact that they make it that much harder for you to kill yourself. Instead of putting a gun inside your oversize, overrun, bad-toothed maw, you'll have sever your jugular with the rusty lid of a mushed peas can. Hurry and get an ASBO preventing you from accessing this site, please.
