Don't know if anybody has mentioned the Dodge Viper yet.

The older ones had an 8 liter (488? Cu In) V10, that was over 400 HP
depending on the year.  I understand the current Viper SuperGee-Whiz
model has a larger V10 that's rated 500 HP.

Also, I don't see the Buick V6 turbos mentioned.  I don't have
the specs on them, but some of them are running around that are
as improved as some of our UrS cars.  At that stage, they are
making lots and lots of horsepower.

Talking about crate engines.  Frederic, these are complete engines
sold by the manufacturers - that don't necessarily meet emission
standards or any other regulation to speak of.  I know Chrysler
(The parent of Dodge) sells both various V8 crate engines and
a V10 crate engine.  Some of these engines are way over 500 HP
direct from the factory, and are ready to bolt into your (race)
car.  Of course, these are intended for off road use only.  Right.

If you are really interested in some of these, I'll turn a friend
or two that are into older supercars and hot rods loose on finding
something for you  :-)
