Games

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2

The Viper GTS is featured in Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 as a class B vehicle available from the beginning in EA Black Box's PlayStation 2 release, but is rated as a tier 3 vehicle that costs 10,000 NFS Points in EA Seattle's PC, GameCube, and Xbox releases.

The Viper GTS is one of the best accelerating vehicles in the title and has a high top speed to match. It also has a tendency to be tricky in corners due to its high power engine and rear-wheel drive configuration.

Description

“	The Dodge Viper: Its menacing form hides the triple threat of its V10 engine, 488 cubic inches, 450 horsepower, and 490 foot-pounds of torque. The Dodge Viper is a legend in the making. Its 8 liter, 10 cylinder engine generates 450 horsepower and a staggering 490 foot-pounds of torque. Foot to the pavement through massive 18-inch wheels. A 20 valve V10 engine attached to a six-speed overdrive transmission puts these 3000 pounds of American muscle from 0 to 100 miles an hour in less than 9.5 seconds.	”
