The Dodge Viper GTS arrived in 1996 as the highly anticipated coupe variant of the raw, roadster-only Viper RT/10. While the RT/10 was a visceral experience, the GTS, with its iconic "double-bubble" roof and a more refined chassis, quickly cemented its place as the definitive Viper. It wasn't just a styling exercise; the GTS was lighter and stiffer than its open-top sibling, and its 8.0-liter V10 engine was massaged to produce 450 horsepower — a significant bump from the RT/10's 400 hp. This was a car built to dominate, famously serving as the pace car for the Indianapolis 500 and achieving considerable success in endurance racing, including a class win at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The GTS truly embodied American muscle reinterpreted for a new era, blending outrageous power with a striking, purposeful design. This 1997 Dodge Viper GTS proudly showcases that legendary performance and design, with 45,314 miles on the odometer. Under the hood lies the formidable 8.0L V10, delivering its full 450 horsepower and 490 ft. lbs. of torque to the rear wheels via a robust manual transmission. The sleek coupe body, finished in its original color, presents an opportunity to own a pure, unadulterated sports car from an era when horsepower reigned supreme and electronic nannies were largely absent. This Viper GTS is a chance to acquire a powerful piece of American automotive history.
