Dodge Celebrates Viper SRT10 2010 at LA Show: Towards the end of 2010, Dodge will cease production of its Viper sports car that was first introduced in 1992.

2010 Dodge Viper ACR Auto: The subtly revised 2010 Dodge Viper ACR, which is set to make its world premiere at next month’s Los Angeles Auto Show, has set a new lap record at the Laguna Seca with a time of 1:33.915 as recorded by Motech in-vehicle data recorder (1:33.944” as unofficially recorded by trackside clock) breaking the previous lap record of 1.35.117 set by a Devon GTX this past August. The 2010 Dodge Viper ACR was piloted by SRT vehicle dynamics engineer, Chris Winkler.
