As it turns out, adding a real life-size plastic cow to the bed of a Dodge Ram SRT-10 will not help you win a race, at least not one where speed is the operative parameter, but it will help you stand out from the crowd.
The cow-equipped SRT-10 featuring the Viper's 8.3-liter V10 engine with 500-horsepower went up against a Range Rover Sport Supercharged GT600 producing 600 ponies, followed by a stock Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG with 510-horses and a BMW X6M Evotech Stage 2 rated at 630hp.
There's a video just after the break for your enjoyment.

As you can see, there are no limits in what one can do when fantasy makes you its friend. Though somewhat less radical than the Dodge Viper RT/10 roadster limo we showed you a couple of weeks ago, the Dodge Challenger LX SRT-8 that was displayed at this past weekend's annual Spring Festival of LXs in Irvine, California, is one of those oddities that will always capture the crowd's attention.

The American accent version of BBC's Top Gear television show has shared a video on YouTube from the debut episode of the first season starring Tanner Foust, who has proved to be the most charismatic of the three presenters, and Rutledge "Al" Wood.

The custom automobile industry leaves no stone unturned in its efforts to satisfy the wackiest wishes and requirements. Even a thoroughbred sports car like the Dodge Viper RT/10 can't escape from their claws…
Unique Movie Cars, a company run by the Sciortino family, who design and build vehicles for movies and television, created this one-of-a-kind Viper RT/10 limousine.
