Every true, red blooded, American man knows there’s one very important thing that joins us all together, a common, unbreakable bond and that it is, of course, the desire to go really, really fast and a commonly held belief that if we go really, really fast not only will we feel awesome about ourselves but that it is also very likely that we will appear more attractive to women. It was because of this that man created the automobile and since then we’ve been trying to get them to go as fast as we possibly can. It was with this same sprit that Dodge released the Viper SRT-10 in 2003, a 510 horsepower supercar and then looked upon the product of their labor and thought, this can go faster. They were right and that very same year they released the Tomahawk.

The Dodge Tomahawk is a 510 horsepower, 8.3 liter V10 . . . with wheels. The Viper could hit 60 in a little under 4 seconds and would top out at around 195 mph and that was really, really cool. But think about what would happen if you took all of the Viper parts off of that vehicle, the seats, doors, windows etc… it would be a good 2000 pounds lighter and that would mean it could go faster. That’s what they did with this bike and it goes really f***ing fast. The Tomahawk moves from 0-60 in 2.5 second and hits its top at around mach .6, about 420 mph, a speed that most World War II fighter planes couldn’t reach.

Dodge only sold 1000 of these, they aren’t street legal, and with a price tag of 550,000 it’s thought of more as a work of art then as actual transportation. Either way it’s a monument to testosterone and as American a stealing land from Indians. Why build a motorcycle that goes 9 times the speed limit? Why bother building something so fast that no one in his or her right mind would ever ride it? I’ll tell you why, right after we deport you back to the communist nation you illegally immigrated from. Because YES WE CAN! That’s why.
