Saying your brand is all about performance is one thing, but actually putting your own butt on the line in an all-out open road rally is another. SRT Brand president and CEO Ralph Gilles isn't afraid--even when he's doing it in a Dodge Viper SRT10. Gilles will join experienced Targa Newfoundland competitor Jen Horsey of Toronto, Canada, in a Dodge Viper SRT10 to fly along the 2,200-kilometer (that's about 1,367 miles to us yanks) course at spead.
