Dodge Viper (1992 - 2002) Reviews, Pricing & Specs

This is my 99 Dodge Viper GTS. I bought it less than a year ago and it really is in near mint condition with only 18k miles on it. I also have a first generation Viper that ,while tons of fun ,isn't as refined as this 99. This one has power windows ,a nice stereo etc...while the older RT/10 is really just a super powerful hi-torqe monster. I don't know which is fastest but both are to be respected while driving. All in all a super fun and dependable,well built American Super car.Jun 02, 2011

The GTTS Viper is a true driver's car. There is no traction control or ABS (unitil 2000). The car is bullet proof in reliability and can be driven every day (I have for 13 years). Brakes are weak if you drive hard or take it ot the track. I replaced mine with Stop Tech Big Brakes and they are fantastic. Once the car is aligned correctly it is hard to like other cars with this much onscene amounts of torque. The Daytona ble paint with white stripes still gets everyone's attention to this day.Mar 23, 2009

The 1996 Dodge Viper GTS Coupe is a collector car without subtlety, without too much high technology, and, ultimately, without pity. I have never been in a car so ridiculously thrilling and powerful as the Dodge Viper. It is not an ordinary sports car. Other prestigious sports cars pale by comparison and the performance beats every car imaginable. Jan 02, 2009

Owning this car is awesome if you want to have a real performance car and get tons of attention. There simply is nothing that looks like a first generation Viper. The 1994 Viper is truly a classic and it is appreciating in value as the first generation becomes even rarer. Gas mileage is surprisingly good for a car with this much power, 26 hwy averaging 70 MPH. There are not many cars on the road that get the kind of attention the Dodge Viper receives. Not only is it one of the fastest production cars on the road, but its fun to drive. It is just as awesome today as it was in 1994. Jan 01, 2009

Raw muscle. Unpolished, brutal and primal. The Viper lacks creature comforts, but makes up for it with the sheer driving experience it offers. Fit and finish is below average... all of Dodge's focus went onto performance, and the Viper delivers! NO traction control, no optional automatic transmission.. heck, there are not even cupholders. What you get are 450 untamed horsepower stock. Aftermarket upgrades will put up to 1500 hp under that huge hood, while still retaining every day driveability. The Viper is unlike any car on the road, and is unlike anything that will ever be on it!Nov 08, 2008

Performance: acceleration in the higher rpm range is extremely noticeable. Car seems to really take off in the lower gears and breaks the stock Pilot Sport's loose at all chances. Build Quality: car is built like a rock. Only downside is that the clutch pedal is very soft until you reach the friction point. Appearance: what more can you ask for? This iconic car from Dodge sets itself apart from all other cars out there. Snapping necks left right and centre. Cost of Ownership: EXPENSIVE! Fun Factor: If fun were 10/10, this would probably be 100/10...if that were possible.Aug 05, 2008

I own a 1996 Dodge Viper White with blue stripes. I drove the car from Santa Fe, New Mexico to Los Angles, California this past summer. I have 30,000 miles on the car and don't usually drive it much around town most of the miles are freeway driving. For those of you who don't know it these are great road cars provided you pack as if on a motorcycle. Mine gets 22 miles to the gallon using 6th gear at all speeds over 65 mph. The ride is firm but not noticeable on the freeway and when driven in triple digits, safe conditions permitting cuts travel time and plenty of smiles per mile. No I am not some wimp 2 felony speeding tickets in 13 years to prove it. Have been to racing school for both cars and motorcycles also ride a R1 Yamaha as it was meant to be ridden. I don't do wheelies but do ocassionaly drag a knee. These cars are meant to be driven by drivers notsomeone looking for luxury. Or to showoff but in the spirit of Pre 1971 Corvettes and Muscle cars. If driven in this manner you will begin smilling just thinking about your next drive. Jan 09, 2008
