While the Dodge Viper SRT may be getting shelved, that hasn’t stopped anyone from trying to coax the most potential from an already powerful supercar.  The 2016 Dodge Viper ACR is one of the fastest track cars there is.  That isn’t good enough for German tuning company Geiger Cars.  They’ve gotten under the hood and have super-powered the ACR to get it to push even more horsepower.

Geiger has a reputation for their tuning of performance vehicles.  Their upgrades to the ACR include ECU tuned cylinder heads, sports catalytic converters, and a stainless steel sports exhaust system.  It boosts the performance of the ACT’s 8.4-liter V10 engine and gives it 765 horsepower!

The car itself has also been upgraded to help drivers maintain control of all this power.  The “Extreme Aero Package” is a carbon fiber body kit.  All-in-all for Dodge Viper owners or perspective owners, it appears that Geiger has figured out how to really unleash the potential of the supercar.

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.

It’s a bittersweet year for Viper fans.  The Viper is going on ice for a while, but there is also the release of a new limited edition of Vipers for this year.  It begs the question; is the Viper still popular.  The answer to that question is a resounding yes if the amount of time it took for the limited edition Vipers to sell out is taken into account.  All it took was 40 minutes.

Dodge recently announced that it was releasing a very limited run of special edition Vipers to celebrate its final year in production before it goes back on the shelf.  While fans were certainly saddened by the news of the Viper going away again, they made their devotion heard loud and clear.  In just 40 minutes, the limited edition Vipers sold out.

That’s 28 Vipers gone in less than an hour.  For those that missed the window, Dodge has the Viper Snakeskin ACR pre-orders starting in mid-July and will have 31 units available.
