To the casual observer, all Vipers look alike. But once bitten - or smitten - you'll discover that there have been three generations of Vipers in the thirteen years of production. Improvements were made along the way, and special versions were produced, often in limited quantities. The range of color choices has also changed from year to year.

 

THE VIPER PIT  

 


2002 GTS DAYTONA - JOSE PICAZO  

Aftermarket company Autoform built this limited-edition replica of the #91 American LeMans Series racing Viper.

 


2003 500HP SRT-10

For 2003, Dodge introduced an all-new Viper, the SRT-10 with a new body, interior, chassis, and re-designed V-10 engine. The new design featured a manual convertible top and side-exit exhaust. Dodge improved performance even more, switching to 18" front and 19" rear wheels, bigger brakes, and even more horsepower - now 500. Though many consider the 3rd generation Viper to be more refined, the performance is still brutal, with 0-60 mph times in under 4 seconds.

 


1999 GTS ACR 460HP V10 COUPE  
FRED KINDER


In 1999, Dodge introduced a stripped-down version of the GTS coupe for Viper enthusiasts who wanted to go racing on the weekend. The ACR, which stands for American Club Racer, deleted comfort items such as airconditioning, audio system and fog lights, and replaced them with adjustable shocks, stiffer springs, BBS wheels, 5-point harnesses, and a 460 hp V-10. Most ACR's were ordered with the Comfort Group option, which added back the A/C and audio system.
2003 CC - BOB WOODHOUSE
  To satisfy track-hounds, Dodge introduced the track-only coupe version of the all-new Viper called the Competition Coupe (CC). The CC has a highly modified chassis, complete with full roll cage, racing instrumentation, carbon fiber body and a more powerful 525 hp engine. Dodge has built around 50 of these non-street-legal Vipers. You must have a racing license to order the CC.
