*2000 Dodge Viper RT/10 Roadster*The second generation Viper was
unveiled in 1996 and, in open-top RT/10 form, didn't look
drastically different from the first generation, but featured a
host of additional comfort features, along with a nice bump in
performance. This 2000 Viper RT/10 is from mid-way through the
second generation of the car, and has been under the care of a
single owner for the last 12 years.Finished in sinister Black over
Black leather, this RT/10 shows 63,020 KM on the odometer, which
translates to just 39,158 miles, and the car remains in very good
overall condition. As a second generation Viper, you can easily see
some of the many improvements over the first generation, by looking
around the exterior. Things like a hard removable roof panel,
exterior door handles, and glass windows with power mechanisms. The
exhaust also exits at the rear of the car, rather than the sills
which greatly increases the risk of burns. These items combine to
make for a much nicer to use car, and it looks outstanding sitting
on the chrome factory 5-spoke wheels.Although the interior is
considerably nicer than an early Viper, there is little in the
cabin of this RT/10 to distract you from the task at hand -
driving. Drop down into the black leather seat and you are met by a
3-spoke steering wheel with a speedometer and tachometer just in
front of you - to your right sit four gauges in molded pods,
showing items like fuel level, oil temperature and water
temperature. Below them sits an Alpine head unit and a basic 3-dial
HVAC system with air conditioning.Under the hood sits the heart of
the Viper - an 8.0-liter V10 that produces a stump-pulling 450
horsepower and 490 lb-ft of torque. When paired to a 6-speed Tremec
manual gearbox, the car was capable of 0-60 mph in the low-4 second
range, and the quarter mile in 12.4 seconds at 115 mph. In 2000,
the Viper received some additional chassis stiffening from the
factory which was later installed on earlier second generation
cars. Sitting low and wide, with enormous tires front and rear, the
Viper has enormous amounts of mechanical grip, but not a driving
aid in sight, with 2000 standing as the final year of Viper without
standard ABS.It is hard to have much more of a thrill than behind
the wheel of a Viper - and the second generation RT/10 is a perfect
mix of usability, while retaining most of the raw, sometimes scary
performance the model is known for. This example would make the
perfect summer fun car, and could be used for special occasions or
as a nice-weather daily driver without issue.*Key Features* *
