Vehicle Description
For sale in our Detroit showroom is this 1996 Dodge Viper RT – 10. The first Viper prototype was tested in 1989, two years later it debuted with two pre-production models as the pace car for the Indianapolis 500. The Viper was used due to complaints from the UAW workers that Dodge was using the Japanese built Dodge Stealth instead of a car produced here in the states. The Viper was introduced to the market in January of 1992 as the RT/10 Roadster and remained that until Daimler Chrysler’s street and racing group completely redesigned the Viper in 2002 naming it the Viper SRT – 10. The 1996 model year was the first year of the second generation of Vipers, some upgrades were made to improve on an already great design, the exhaust was relocated from the existing side-pipes to a single muffler rear exhaust, power upgrades give the second generation 415 hp and 488 lb-ft of torque, a removable hard-top was now available, and new aluminum suspension components reduced weight by 60 lbs. This 1996 Dodge Viper RT – 10 is a great color combination with a Jet black finish on the exterior with white racing stripes and black leather buckets dressing the interior. This Viper is all original aside of the one upgrade being a new aftermarket alarm system. Options on this Viper include air conditioning, AM/FM radio with CD player, power locks, tilt wheel, keyless entry, leather interior, and anti-theft system.
