1997 Dodge Viper

About this car

Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is excited to be able to present this performance enhanced 1997 Dodge Viper GTS! There were just about 540 of the GTS models for 1997 that were finished in the Viper Red, and this example was one of less than 200 total that came with the Silver Sparkle wheels, though obviously the wheel package has been upgraded a bit. When it comes to brute force automobiles, nothing compares to the sheer exhilaration of hitting the road in Dodges iconic 8.0L V/10, but to couple the upgraded GTS trim level for some of the creature comforts like power windows, power lock & A/C AND to have the V/10 worked up to 586 RWHP (per HP Tuners & Mainline Dyno Hub), then you are an entirely different level! The list of engine upgrades is long to say the least, but here a some of the internal & bolt-on goodies: Greg Good G3 CNC machined/ported/polished heads with a Brian Tooley spring package, Texas Speed pushrods, Gen3 rockers, Greg Good custom spec cam, fly cut pistons & Clevite H Main bearings, a rare Lingenfelter G2 intake manifold with 70mm Accufab throttle bodies, Gen3 American racing headers, a 3 Corsa exhaust with Cat delete & a complete set of IPSCO billet pulleys , all tuned by Torrie McPhail over at Unleashed. The 6-speed manual was upgraded to handle the additional power by adding an IPSCO trans mount, a Centerforce dual friction clutch and a Motive 3.55 gearing out back & keeping it cool is an RSI/Howe Racing radiator & twin fan set up and a rare Roe racing front fascia cooling mod. This GTS is SICK! Moton Club Sport coil overs, 800#/1000# Eibach springs, TKO Adjustable sway bars, Gen3 Viper front brakes, GM Brembos in the rear, an AutoForm Track Attack aero package, rear diffuser & roll cage, some ultra-rare E19 Viper Competition Coupe 19 Magnesium wheels wit Toyo R888Rs, black ceramic tint... are you getting the picture yet? This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to jump into a 1997 Viper GTS that is built to the hilt but has never been tracked! There are very few people that have the discipline and driving experience to handle such a high-performance automobile, so if you fall into that category & have been considering the nerve-racking excitement of high-performance driving, then this 1997 Viper GTS might just scratch that itch.
