The Viper details:

"The block is cast aluminum with cylinder liners of cast iron. You'll
also find aluminum as the material of choice for Viper's pistons,
cylinder heads, oil pan, intake manifold, water pump and transmission
housing.

Where maximum strength is important, you'll find steel. Forged steel for
connecting rods and crankshaft and stainless steel for exhaust mani-
folds. Magnesium is used for the rocker covers.  
 
This artfully crafted mass of metal is designed to do just one thing:
generate huge quantities of raw power unmatched by any other American
production automobile. This output of 450 horsepower at 5,200 rpm and
490 pound-feet of torque at 3,700 rpm seems mind-numbing, until you
consider that the world-beating Viper GTS-R racing team has been able to
extract upwards of 700 horsepower from the 8.0-liter engine."
