Ironically   BHP   made a bid for RTP in late 2007 that RTP fought off during the height of the commodity bubble... oh how quickly things change.

Not as uncannily smooth as the Corvette's watch-like V-8, the Viper V-10 gives you the visceral impression and sound of big pistons hitting hard, with each combustion stroke carrying the car a fair distance down the road. Some of that big-bang sensation comes from very tall gearing. You could drive this car all of your life in the first four gears without much inconvenience.
