1996 Dodge Viper GTS

 
This is a 1996 Dodge Viper GTS in blue with white stripes.   Classic.   This was my dream car as a kid and once I was able to buy one I loved it so much I bought two.   I then sold the other one (stock. boring) and kept this one because it was already modified. and modified is more fun.   Now to answer the question everyone loves to ask. "Why are you selling?"  It's because 1) I now have a 3 and a 1 year old and rarely drive this car. as the car history will show and 2) I am about to make a long distance move and wouldn't mind having extra cash and one less car to move.   My wife and I enjoy taking this out on ocassional date nights but to be frank the car is not particularly comfortable (at 6'3) and it garners a bit of unwanted attention when pulling up to a fine dining restaurant.   Still. no doubt I will miss it (even just looking at it in the garage) but if I get what I want for it. I'll be happy to see someone else enjoy it.

Now for the important stuff.   This car has:

37. 74 miles
VIN 1B3ER69E0TV200947
CLEAN and CLEAR title. in hand
no mechanical issues. drives great
a bunch of mods
power steering and windows!
AC? don't know. never use it
PA inspection and just serviced


Cosmetically it is in pretty good shape.   Paint is as good as you can ask for on this car.   The worst that I can see is a nick on the driver side rocker panel.   No visible heat damage on the rocker panels.   Minor nicks and scratches here and there. mostly around the bumper. hood. and wheel wells.   Driver side door has a piece of window moulding missing that always cracks.   All glass looks good.   No visible damage on front of rear bumpers.   Interior is one of the nicest I've seen in a gen2 with no seat tears. dash cracks. heck even the shifter/brake boots look good.   No smoking smell from me or the previous owners.   Carpet is decent.   There is one small crack in the driver door skin near the window.   So in summary it's far from perfect like most Vipers. but I would say it's better than average.

Now for the fun stuff. the modifications:

ROE Supercharger w/5lb pulley
Belanger headers
Hi Flow Cats
Corsa cat back 3” exhaust
Hurst short shifter w/ factory handle
Modified airbox with K&N filters and smooth tubes
Magnecor plug wires
3. 73 rear end gears
Upgraded power steering bracket and pulley
Power steering vent tube (no fire!)
Upgraded radiator fan
Boost and A/F gauge
Snake Oyl front skid/scuff protector
BBS wheels with tires that have plenty of life left
R1 Concepts drilled and slotted rotors front and rear
R1 Concepts premium brake pads all around
Alpine head unit and large amp in trunk
Sneaky Pete on inside of the hood. blue powder coated valve covers + tubes
Snake Oyl CAGS skip shift eliminator


It is fast. it is loud. it is a true "driver's car".   No gadgets. modes. or assists. just 3 pedals and the necessary accessories.   Factory forged pistons. perfect for supercharging. and the more desirable aggressive factory cam with plenty of classic muscle car lope.   The ROE twinscrew supercharger setup provides additional torque right from the push of the pedal. it won't make rediculous dyno numbers like a centrifugal or twin turbo setup but it's perfect for a street car. practical and reliable.   The car is tuned using the VEC2.   Currently has a very conservative tune which was dyno'd around 525hp/525tq on 91 octane and that was with a bad O2 sensor.   Could easily get 550hp+ out of this setup before even changing the pulley but most Viper tuners would suggest adding more fuel delivery and a water/meth setup around 600hp.  

This car has slept in a garage with a battery tender for most of my 4 years of ownership with a short drive here and there to keep the fluids moving.   It has been properly maintained and has recently had the following service:

engine oil/filter change
differential fluid/seal
power steering pump and fluid
coolant flush/fill
new window switches
new O2 sensors
new battery


I believe that covers everything but I am happy to answer questions from serious buyers.   Please NO TRADE OFFERS.   As previously mentioned I am moving in the near future so I do not want your motorcycle. your boat. your project. your family members. etc.   I prefer a wire transfer and in turn you get a signed title and an awesome car that is likely to increase in value.
