Dodge Viper Gets 700 Extra Horsepower With New Venom 800 Package from Hennessey Performance

Venom 800 Package

When you think of a vehicle that doesn’t seem to need any more power added to it, it is the SRT Dodge Viper.  True performance obsessed fans though never see enough as enough.  That’s why the folks at Hennessey Performance have tweaked the Viper to give it even more power with a 700 horsepower upgrade.

Why not make it so that the Dodge Viper can go from 0 to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds.  When it comes to power, the Dodge Viper deserves what it can get from gearheads willing to mess around with it.  This new monstrosity they have created, the Venom 800 package, is only for the most metal of Viper drivers.

Hennessey Performance accomplished this goal by keeping the 8.4-liter V10 engine but upgraded numerous parts like an intercooler, high-flow injectors and even a 3-inch stainless steel exhaust.  That exhaust has one that apparently doubles as a flame-thrower.  Again, that’s how hardcore this Venom 800 package seems to be.

Check out the video Hennessey Performance has put together for the Venom 800 and try to resist the urge to rush out and get this crazy machine.  Or don’t and just watch where you point that flame-thrower.

The new Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat is built with the expressed purpose of achieving one goal, absolute speed.  To that end, it is a marvelous success.  Not too many vehicles get to brag about the amount of horsepower this baby has.  Sadly, there is more to a car than just the power under the hood.  So while we all know the power, how is the rest?

Autocar has their overall impression of the Challenger SRT Hellcat.  They came to the conclusion that it a very odd vehicle to be on the market.  Like I said earlier, it is designed for the purpose of pushing what a muscle car is capable of.  But how does this play to the average buyer?

I think the answer is simple, it doesn’t.  This car is meant for a niche.  It is meant for the gearheads who don’t mind a car that burn through an entire tank of gas in 13 minutes.  That very statistic is the reason they are buying a Challenger SRT Hellcat.

For a practical car, it doesn’t make sense.  This really isn’t the daily drive to work kind of Challenger.  This is for the thrill of the road.  This is to shake off the stress of the day.  Even the reviewer acknowledges how impractical it is on the road (UK roads in this case).  However, for people looking for one mean machine, this is it.
