Description

As undeniably mesmerizing as the RT/10 version of Dodge's supercar may be, there is a strong argument that can be made for that the coupe version like this 2001 Dodge Viper GTS, is even more captivating. With a ridiculously low 266 actual miles (yes, 266), this Viper Red GTS looks, feels, and drives as if it were sitting in a time capsule for the last quarter century. If you missed out on owning one of these dynamic second-generation Vipers the first time around, this car comes with just about everything you could want to make you feel as though it just rolled off the assembly line.

Inside, the second-gen Viper shows off a slightly less Spartan interior than its predecessor. A black leather interior is highlighted by a big center console that separates a pair of super supportive bucket seats. A power-assisted steering wheel sits a head of a 7,000 rpm tachometer and 200 mph speedometer, while a quartet of white-faced auxiliary gauges sits mid-dash above the stock Alpine CD player and basic HVAC controls. Power locks, mirrors, windows, and air conditioning offer a host of modern amenities, especially compared to the barebones first gen.

Under that expansive front-hinged louvered hood, we find a massive naturally-aspirated 8.0-liter V-10 engine. Thanks in part to its aluminum block, heads, and intake manifold this overhead valve monster makes 450 horsepower at 5,200 rpm and 490 pound-feet of torque at 3,700 rpm. That big power is routed through a Tremec T56 six-speed manual transmission before heading out to the limited-slip rear end that transfers those ponies to the pavement via a set of polished 18-inch wheels shod in original steamroller-sized 335/30ZR-18 Michelin rubber. At the same time, a narrower set of also original 275/35ZR-18 Michelins handles steering duties up front.
