Viper GTS Twin Turbo is a 1500 WHP Omen


If we're talking over 1000 HP, twin turbo units, racing fuel and all that, we're also probably mentioning cars such as the Lamborghini Gallardo and the Nissan GT-R. But what about something even more..extreme?

And we don't mean 'extreme' in terms of performance, even though we'll get to that in a second. But more along the lines of pure adrenaline.

Both the Gallardo and the GT-R are perfect choices for people who want beyond-hypercar performance from their run of the mil supercar. If you're putting down over 1000HP (some get very close to 2000HP) you better hope you've got an all-wheel drive system capable of handling all that torque.

When it comes to the Viper, all its torque goes entirely to the rear wheels, which makes this already 'exciting to drive' car even more exciting - and that's the understatement of the year.

We're talking about a 640 PS V10, outfitted with RSI Racing Solution's twin-turbo package, which will get you in the vicinity of 1000WHP. This car was capable of hitting 62 mph in just 3.5 seconds even without any mods. Just imagine what it could do with all that extra power.

To be fair, it will be limited quite a bit by its traction. Still, in perfect conditions this should be a 2-second car.

The RSI Racing Solution mods include two Precision turbos, a stroker kit, forged engine internals, a new exhaust plus other performance oriented changes.

If you're using E85 ethanol or racing fuel, you're bound to turn those 1000 WHP into an "Oh-My-God" worthy 1,500 WHP.

If gunning it at the strip is your favorite pastime, then this definitely isn't a bad way to spend $89,950.
