To answer your question, after the safety recall lower ball joint seperated, and was fixed, the AC compressor siezed up and threw the serpantine belt!

DODGE SUCKS!!!

These are not kit cars. Hand assembled here in CA, based upon a design from a replica made by some south african company.

The RS200 still holds the 0-60 world record. It's accurate. One of those crazy *** unlimited class Rally cars from back in the day. Ugly yeah, but anyone else who's not driving one only hasta get used to the taillights.

Okay, first of all, neither one of those ever had the world record for 0-60. From what i've seen, that RS200 was a full-on racecar (FIA group B). In that case, it would be up against top fuel dragsters that do 0-60 in about 0.4 seconds. Maybe the lingenfelter vette is the fastest street legal car 0-60, but I doubt that because I have a video of a viper making 988 HP on a dyno without nitrous (yes it has nitrous) while spinning its tires on the dyno. i think its a doug lavin motorsports car but those things are absolutely the definition of ridiculous.

Actually, the RS200 did at one time for sure hold the world record for 0-60. I know this, have read it many places. It was also a street car as well as a Group B Rally car. The world winning 0-60 time was taken from a OEM street car.

The LPE Vette may be faster but - the RS200 is a factory produced car while the LPE Vette is a tuner car (albeit stupidly fast) and is not comparable to the RS200 (for this purpose).

Keep in mind, a Viper can make gobs of power - and spin it's tires wherever it likes, but the RS200 is AWD. This means all four wheels are.. Yeah.

The RS200 as fast as it is was measured as a factory produced street car in the UK.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but no-one is entitled to their own facts. Go look it up.
