When Dodge unveiled the Viper RT/10 roadster in 1992, it sent shockwaves through the automotive world, but it was the 1996 GTS coupe that truly cemented its legend. Conceived as a more refined, higher-performance variant, the GTS was an homage to classic American muscle while pushing boundaries with its massive 8.0-liter V10 engine. With its iconic double-bubble roof designed to accommodate helmets and the unmistakable Viper Blue with white stripes livery, the GTS was an instant icon, not just on the street but also on the track, famously winning the 24 Hours of Daytona and Le Mans. This second generation of Viper, known as SR II, brought subtle but significant improvements, including lighter components and increased power, making it a more focused and formidable machine than its predecessor. This 1997 Dodge Viper GTS proudly wears that legendary Viper Blue with White Racing Stripes, a color combination synonymous with the model's racing triumphs and raw American power. With just under 27,000 original miles on the odometer, this example has been preserved, allowing its next owner to experience the visceral thrill of its monstrous 8.0L V10 engine. Mated to a robust 6-speed manual transmission, this GTS offers an unfiltered, analog driving experience that demands attention and rewards skill, a stark contrast to the increasingly digital performance cars of today. This is an opportunity to acquire a true American icon, representing a high-water mark for unadulterated performance and unmistakable style.
