Thanks for clearin that up, I forgot to say that. In Road&Track they claim the SRT-10's top speed is only 190, which I could believe for the convertible maybe, but then they say the CC's top speed is only 192, I really question that with it's power and aerodynamics though, slower than the old GTS, I dont think it is. That magazine's acceleration tests are way off too so I think they're just pussies when it comes to testing such a powerful car, or they just despise the Vipers. Even they're braking tests are off, they rate the SRT-10 at 114 feet from 60 mph where some other magazine rates it at 97 feet I think, I gotta try remembering these things a little better.

That's no shit, I'm still wondering if it can go even faster than that, cause 200+mph in a vert would be crazy, especially with the top down. But I do understand scotts point, with more power and better aerodynamis, and that low of gearin the Viper has, it should be able to do better than that.

there is only so much you can do about a convertible's aerodinamics.....the rt-10 were the showboating vipers anyway...the pure performance vipers were the gts's


i say the numbers of this rt-10 are amazing....and show me another convertible that can take it
