OK, just back from Detroit with significantly more INTERESTING info!
-The car in the picture is called "Blue Lightning" by the Team Viper Engineers.
- It was an endurance test car that ran in '95 when T.V. were developing the '96 GTS!
- Herb "Grailkeeper" Helbig did indeed drive ALL the official runs and set the two records.
- Among other things this 'mule' was used to develop the first Viper ABS system.
- It holds 2 land speed records, the Muroc record and the East Coast Timing Assoc. record it her class.
- The motor is a tricked up GTSR motor with 10-stack intake and 800hp.
- Still owned by SRT-Dodge, it sits in non-descript storage in an undisclosed location.
- I was given permission, and took several photos, but I dont know how to post them.
- This icon is pretty much "as you see it" but with many years of dust and flat tires!
- My new camera has a dinky-tiny card, and it does not work well in my card reader. Id LIKE to share the pix of Doris and Blue Lightning, and have SRT permission to do so, but alas I cannot til I get a new card reader.......
