so i had this crazy idea last night while i was racing some rich kid in a civic (i won ) why not take my dakota and build it like a viper. i mean badging, viper red paint with rally stripes, viper rims and viper seats. i was just wondering what you guys would think about this and if it is a realistic thing to do. any feedback is very much appriciated

 

that could be really cool but it would need 500hp

 

I wonder if it is possible to go one big leap further and cram a V10 under the hood?

 

I've seen a dakota with a viper engine in it before. it was sweet. but alot of fabricating. I think your truck would look sweet if you made it look like a viper

man it would be sweet if u were able to fabricat your roof to look like the vipers

maybe have some steel molded to look like it then weld it

 

theres a guy in the town i live in that has a dodge ram with the v10 in it. its a pace car edition. he also has a matching viper to go with it, both are blue with white racing stripes

I wish i was rich :P

 

thanks for teh feedback guys...im already on started on getting teh badging for teh dak. i also found some seats in a local autotrader. hopefully i can save teh money and get it repainted this summer.

 

Unless it was a custom job, iirc the Indy pace Rams were not v-10 powered, since they're not SRTs nor are they 3/4ton or 1-ton trucks. The Pace truck was a 1/2 ton and came with a 5.9.

 

correct me if i am wrong, but the srt10 didnt start production until late 2002 (making it a 2003). and horatio, i believe you are right, that is a 5.9.
