So, I was watching the History channel last week and noticed something interesting about the Dodge Tomahawk motorcycle that uses the Viper Engine. I just had a chance to look into it further and I believe that I am correct. Lets see if anyone else notices what appears to be a Porsche part on this bike...here are a few pictures.

I swear that is a Porsche 11-blade fan in there providing cooling air to the engine. It is interesting that out of all the chrome and shine of that bike they didn't chrome or even paint the fan. What do you think, is that a Porsche fan?

i saw a show on the buildup on that viper quad. (it ain't no motorcycle). They admitted to using a 911 fan. I believe the bike was not made "in house" but by a contracted fab house like foose (but not him)

You'd think they'd use Benz parts being "Daimler-Chrysler" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
They are actually going to build a limited production run for wealthy customers... Britain, You have way too much time to surf... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) but that will be over soon... Felix |
