One gentleman from the country of Georgia decided that wasn&#8217;t enough power, displacement, or cylinders. His solution is replacing the inline-six with a 3rd generation 8.3 L V10 from either a Dodge Viper or Ram SRT-10. This increases the coupe&#8217;s power to 500-510 horsepower and 525-535 lb-ft (712-725 Nm) of torque. Behind the engine sits a T-56 six-speed manual transmission.
