So it takes Krauts to put 2017 Dodge Viper ACR on steroids?

Although Generation 5 Dodge Viper is scheduled to be euthanized after 2017 production year ends, apparently this does not discourage aftermarket tuners from fortifying it.  Even though there are a few Viper tuners in US, it appears that the highest NORMALLY ASPIRATED upgrade comes from across the Atlantic, courtesy of Krautland, from a place called GEIGERCARS.

Although it is unknown if the people running that place are direct descendants of Adolf Hitler or his sidekick, Ferry Porsche, it seems like the Generation 5 Dodge Viper fortified by these people may be a byproduct of developing another V weapon?  In the end, who really cares, since the Krautland is currently hammered by the camel jockeys pretended to be muslim refugees, it is unlikely US faces any threat from that place.  In the meantime, there is 765 hp available and apparently measured the Hennessey and Callaway style, by inflating it at the flywheel.

According to the advertisements,  that 120 ponies came courtesy of a bunch of underhood upgrades, but not forced induction. Uprated intake valves, hydraulic lifters, a higher lift camshaft, beefed-up pushrods, headers, and a freer-flowing stainless steel exhaust with new catalytic converters are responsible for the 120 horsepower upgrade. Apparently, GeigerCars also retuned the sports car's computer to cope with its newfound power increase. 

Although Geiger claims there are new ground effects, the car looks just like the stock Viper ACR E, maybe the Nazis changed the diffuser?  Nevertheless, considering the extra power and already shitload of downforce and drag generated at track speeds, there better be some revisions to the stock ground effects and car's body since that extra power will increase downforce at higher speeds even though the drag will be just awful at the same time.  Last thing anyone wants to experience is either having the car body panels or the ground effects self destructing at 190 mph.
