No defects on the vehicle. The car comes with the complete winter
package (Side curtains, back window. and soft top). All items have
a bag for their protection. The first year for Vipers were 1992 and
that was limited production and also hand assembled along with the
early production of 1993's as well. Own a part of history at a
great price- Vipers are not being built anymore-This is a
collectors dream car.The first prototype was tested in January
1989. It debuted in 1991 with two pre-production models as the pace
car for the Indianapolis 500 when Dodge was forced to substitute it
in place of the Japanese-built Dodge Stealth because of complaints
from the United Auto Workers, and went on sale in January 1992 as
the RT/10 Roadster.The centerpiece of the car was its engine.
Lamborghini, then owned by Chrysler Corporation, helped with the
casting of the V10 out of aluminum alloy for the Viper, which was
based on the Chrysler LA V8 engine. A major contributor to the
Viper since the beginning was Dick Winkles, the chief power
engineer, who had spent time in Italy.The engine weighs 711 lb (323
kg) and produces 400 bhp (300 kW) at 4,600 rpm and 465 lb�ft (630
N�m) at 3,600 rpm, and thanks to the long-gearing allowed by the
engine, provides fuel economy at a United States Environmental
Protection Agency-rated 12 mpg-US (20 L/100 km; 14 mpg-imp) city
and 20 mpg-US (12 L/100 km; 24 mpg-imp) highway.[6] The body is a
tubular steel frame with resin transfer molding (RTM) fiberglass
panels. It has a curb weight of 3,284 lb (1,490 kg) and lacks
modern driver aids such as traction control and anti-lock brakes.
It completes a quarter mile (402 m) in 12.6 seconds at the speed of
113.8 mph (183.1 km/h) and has a maximum speed of approximately 165
mph (266 km/h).[7] Its large tires allow the car to average close
to one lateral g in corners, placing it among the elite cars of its
day. However, the car proves tricky to drive at high speeds,
particularly for the unskilled drivers.The Viper was engineered to
be a performance car, with no exterior-mounted door handles or key
cylinders (entry was done by unzipping a soft vinyl window to reach
the interior in order to pull the interior door release handle),
and no air conditioning (however, this was added as an option in
later models, and climate controls featured a "snowflake" icon,
which indicated a potential setting for the A/C). The roof was made
from canvas, and the windows were made from vinyl and used zippers
to open and close, much like the Jeep Wrangler (YJ). However, the
Viper was still equipped with some features in order to allow it to
be tolerable as a daily driver. Some of these features included
manually-adjustable sport leather-trimmed bucket seats with lumbar
support, an A/M-F/M stereo cassette player with clock and
high-fidelity sound system, and interior carpeting. Aluminum-alloy
wheels were larger in diameter due to the larger brakes. A
lightweight fiberglass hard roof option on later models was also
available to cover the canvas soft roof, and shipped with each new
car. There were also no airbags, in the interest of weight
reduction. Adjustable performance suspension was also an available
option for most Vipers. Car is located at our dealership for your
