1989 Viper Has Bite
The Dodge Viper was introduced at the North American International Automobile Show. The Viper, a modernized tribute to the classic Shelby Cobra, won such rave reviews that the company delivered a production version in 1992, just three years later. The production Viper has a V-10 plant that delivers 450 horsepower at 5,200 rpms. The car is capable of a top speed of over 190 mph, and holds numerous production-car performance records.
