1998 Dodge Viper GTS

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

The Dodge Viper has always been known for its raw power and performance, and the second-generation Viper took that to the next level. Despite retaining the iconic design of the first generation, Dodge made significant improvements to the car's chassis, suspension, and brakes to make it more manageable on the road. The Viper GTS coupe, with its unique roof design bearing more than a passing resemblance to the Shelby Daytona Coupe, quickly became a favorite among performance enthusiasts and found success in racing circuits. With its impressive 450 horsepower and handling, the Viper was a serious challenger to the Chevrolet Corvette as the dominant sports car of its time.
