Dylan06SS Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 I got in a bit of a race w/ a guy in an early 90's mustang on the way home from work today, couldn't really get enough room in traffic to run seriously. But then this black Dakota R/T gets in the mix and I'm thinking "HA!" . . . . boy did he smoke my ass.....so bad that I had to follow him and find out what was going on under the hood of that thing. Finally caught him at the gas station and he popped the hood to reveal a heavily massaged VIPER ENGINE!!! I had thought the thing sounded like it had a cheapy import exhaust or something on it, turns out it was the 10 cylinders making that sound. I gave the guy his praise he was due and invited him to check out our site (tried to be a gracious looser, didn't want him to embarrass me again) Nice guy w/ a REALLY nice truck . . . BEWARE THE VIPER POWERED DAKOTA!!! , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adams2003 Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 Yeah, I now all about them viper engines Not something you want to mess with unless your packing some series heat, especially in that little truck. It always kinda fun to run across a sleeper like that, win or loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wizard Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 Oh Yeah!! Well I am parting out an old SPACE SHUTTLE and thats what I'll be running. This should be a real sleeper, so bring on the Viper powered Dakota. Wizard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippy Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 We need to convince Chevrolet to supercharge a regular cab SS. 154 MPH would history I think!!!!! i'd be more than happy with a 2wd rcsb with an LQ9 and M32, but if they wanted to offer a blown LS2 powered version with an M32 i'd be just as happy.

SuperSport Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 dylan, that motor must have been a tight squeeze in a dakota, i think everyone wishes you a digital camera, so we could see that. Did that guy have a 6-speed also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan06SS Posted May 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 I wish I had my camera w/ me! I should really start keeping it in the truck for stuff like this. To tell you the truth I really don't remember what trans he had backing that thing up.....I was still in shock from seing the viper engine crammed between the fenders.
