Ladies and gentlemen, start your XBOX 360’s and rev up the V10-powered, SCCA SPEED World Challenge GT Dodge Viper. No fire suit is required.

“Forza Motorsport 3,” a Microsoft-developed video game that debuted late last month exclusively for XBOX 360.  It features the Dodge Viper Competition Coupe driven by Cindi Lux, of Lux Performance Group. 
 
Microsoft picked Lux's Viper (for obvious reasons) but also because of “its on-track success, aggressive design, guttural power and trademark Mopar ‘Liquid Metal’ paint scheme,” so says the press release announcing the game. 
 
“The game is creating a lot of buzz in the Viper, but also the racing world as well,” Lux says. “It’s really amazing.  More than I ever thought.”
 
The game includes more than 100 celebrated and challenging road courses to challenge players/drivers, as well as more 400 cars from 50 manufacturers. (But you don’t have to drive those, unless you’d prefer to downshift the fun).
