For sale at Gateway Classic Cars in our Houston showroom is this
awesome 1994 Dodge Viper. 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. The Snake went on sale in January
1992 as the RT/10 Roadster. The centerpiece of the car was its
engine. The Lamborghini Company, then owned by Chrysler
Corporation, designed the V10 for the Viper by recasting the block
and heads in an aluminum alloy, and was based on the Chrysler LA V8
engine. The engine weighs 711 lbs and produces 400 bhp at 4600 rpm
and 465 lb�ft at 3600 rpm, and thanks to the long-gearing allowed
by the engine the car has some fuel economy. The body is a tubular
steel frame with resin transfer molding (RTM) fiberglass panels.
The Viper lacks modern driver aids such as traction control and
anti-lock brakes on purpose to give you the feel in the seat of
your pants. It completes a quarter mile in 12.6 seconds and has a
maximum speed of over 150 mph. Its large tires allow the car to
average close to one lateral g in corners, placing it among the
elite cars of its day. The car is made for driving and features
inflatable lumbar support and adjustable seats. Along with the
absence of exterior door handles, the vehicle lacks side windows
and a roof. The battery is located in the sealed compartment over
the rear wheels to increase rear-end weight and traction. Options
include: AM/FM cassette radio, power brakes, power steering, tilt
wheel, seat belts, anti theft system, leather seats, allow wheels.
