I paid $27 at the local Dodge garage in 2000. Funny, a $2 gas cap off a Arctic Cat snomobile worked perfect till the the cap came in 2 days later. I learned my lesson--every time the hood is opened, I check this cap and the others. It is pretty much outrageous that this cap should cost that much. It would seem this part could easily have been standardized with other applications when the car was built.

Don't have my own Viper but I rented a 2001 GTS that had ~800 miles on it when I started. I drove it about 20 miles (not exactly obeying the posted limits) and then opened the hood to show a few friends. That's when my wife asked why the engine was smoking... Sure enough, there was smoke rolling off the left exhaust. The power steering cap was completely gone and fluid had splashed out and was smoldering on the header wraps.

The funny part was when I had my friends give me a ride to Discount Auto Parts. I went right up the counter and asked for the cap and when I gave the clerk the make and model. The look I got back was worth a mint

Of course they didn't have one and he told me to go to the deal. Instead I grabbed a generic GM power steering cap because it looked to be the correct size. Sure enough, it fit like a charm

Anyhow, I can see how that would/could have caused an engine fire....
