The concept Viper was driveable...

And this one certainly has an engine . . . https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png
Yes, it is driveable, don't know how well, but it was at least driven onto the stage for the show. J |
i like those turbine powered motorcycles =)

"The 500-horsepower Viper V-10 engine powering the dual rear wheels gives this radical vehicle a potential top speed of 420 miles per hour (according to the drunken Dodgers)." no ******* way

hey that would be cool :bigthumg:

actually the gasmileage on a viper is what 12mpg? that's with a huge (compared to bikes) weight of probably 2800 or more....you stirp it down to basically the engine alone and some tires the weight's under 1,000 (i say 1,000 cause i think the engine weighs a shitload) and bam you've increased gas mileage.
Most bikes get full tank distances equal to that of a car, i believe the GSXR1000 gets approx. 300 miles to the tank or something (dont recall off the top of my head) and thats only like a 2.5-3.5 gallon tank with a 1000cc engine. honestly i'd use all the gas to hit 420mph and then just coast for a good 400 or so miles lol, all you have to do is hit top speed once then you just coast to your destination lol. kevin. |
Also dodge is normally known for converting their concepts into real cars mainly because they dont have tons of concepts. The Dodge PowerBox Pickup is basically coming out in a few years exactly as it looked in the shows, the new Dodge Ram's were designed off a concept with a few changes made here and there, the viper was a random shot in the dark in 92 or so.
If anyone's been to the NY Auto Show at jacob javitt's you'll know dodge probably has the most limited selection of "concepts" to view. Ford generally has way too many concepts and far too few get past that stage (come on who wouldn't have wanted to see the Ford V12 Powerforce become reality, **** i know i did), Chevy normally has some but not tons. kevin. edit: of course this is a bike so maybe they were just bored and have no plans whatsoever. |
yah this doesnt really seem like that good an idea
