I don't think that a car that is used in racing competition should be grouped in with the failed engine count. (Not that you did.)

Here is a quote from the owner/driver:

"I think an over rev of the engine in the Queenstown stage may be to blame, we're gutted," White said.

dodge is prolly saying, nice just what we need in the news right now, in racing,engines blow all the time,all day long

That's a shame. I watched a video of the driver recently and he had a lot of good things to say about the Viper.

They aren't made to be over revved either.

P.S.,
FB: I'm not upset either. Just adding further information that I had read soon after the incident occurred.

Right.....and PCM's don't spin bearings. Just having fun with FCA logic my friend.......

IMO this belongs in the Gen V section where most of the action is.

Not a stock motor - this doesn't count

What about the car made it non stock?

BTW, I had assumed the driver meant that he might have caused an over-rev when downshifting the engine under racing conditions.

This idea has crossed my mind..

"However, his Viper blew its 675-horsepower engine 24.9km into Targa’s "
