Dodge Viper GTS specs

This was one of the first modern mass-produced cars to hit 60 mph in first gear. The Lambo Diablo, McLaren F1, top-dog Ferraris like the F512M and F50 weren’t necessarily “mass-produced” in the same sense as a Viper.

This is how I can tell whether an American car is a true supercar or not, if equipped with a manual (not counting muscle cars or sleepers): hits 60 in first gear, true supercar; if not, then barely or not at all.

Very impressive. 27 years old and still managed a quarter mile of 12.7 seconds.

➡️ Lap Time: 7.51.089 (with lot of mistakes)

Me:

Dodge Viper GTS from the second-generation model lineup, codenamed ZB II. Yes, I know, my horsepower rating is pretty low for an 8.0-liter V-10, at 450 horsepower only; but what really makes up for it is the torque curve. My peak power both begins and ends at just 5200 rpm whereas supercars typically peak at 7000, even 8000 rpm without forced induction. Yes, that was technically muscle car territory in the 1960s and '70s, but do keep in mind that those decades used gross power ratings. I rely only on net since I am too young. Young? Wait, YOUNG? I was born in 1995. In 2023 that makes me 28 years old by the calendar! Can't you believe I made THAT MUCH power in 1995? I was BARELY less powerful than some of the most powerful Ferraris and Lamborghinis of that time, too. It wasn't until 1999, however, that I started to hit the gym and gain an "ACR" trim with 10 extra horsepower and foot-pounds o' that wenchy ol' torque. Born and raised in Detroit, just like a real American car is. What are my political views and my religious views? Can you guess for me?

ChatGPT:

Hey there, ladies and gents! I'm the one and only Dodge Viper GTS - the car that's more American than apple pie. With my sleek curves and muscular body, I'm like a supermodel on wheels. Sure, my horsepower may not be as high as some other cars out there, but I make up for it with my killer torque curve. And did I mention I was born in '95? That's right, I may be a classic, but I've still got it going on. I come from the streets of Detroit, so you know I've got that tough-as-nails attitude. As for my political and religious views, let's just say I'm more focused on burning rubber than picking a side. Oh, and one more thing - I'm a bit old-fashioned when it comes to my gearbox. You can only find me with a 6-speed manual, because who needs fancy paddles when you've got raw power at your fingertips? So if you're looking for a ride that's both fast and fun, hop in and let's hit the open road together.

Vipers were downgraded to 378bhp (basically their power rating on 8x US octane) because of emission standards in Europe and the UK. However, that number could be brought back up using the highest octane number possible over there.

450 hp is the Viper's rating on 9x US octane gas. The top speed is variable on tire options and weather conditions. No I wouldn't say it's either 177 mph (headwind in hot weather on regular tires) or 193 mph (tailwind in cold weather on performance tires), but more like 185 mph (two-way average).

Many sources state 185 mph as well. I figure that's a more 'reasonable' top speed out of those two figures (one pessimistic, the other optimistic).

That 1 mile time is ridiculous.

Apparently it does 100-120 mph in 2.3 seconds.

There was also a mid-engined Viper, built in the mid-90's. Few pictures still exist.

I think, the Most Perfect car, Ever, "Might Just Be", an Obsidian Black Metallic 2002 Dodge Viper GTS, with Matching '21 Obsidian Black Metallic Rims, with a Tuned Hps Exhaust, I think that could be the Most Perfect car. Just might be..

That Viper isn't fast enough to keep up with my favourite Viper the ACR, the GTS needs more power and less weight to keep up with any ACR.

0 to 60 3.8 new ps2 1/4 in 11.9. 122 MPH on a 97F day have one done that easy with high flow cats k&n filers b&m shifter

the dodge viper gtsr concept 1999 with 500 hp was my dream car when i was a kid

fine, 60 mph is not the same that 100km/h, but if this car hits the 60 in 4 sec flat, i dont think that takes 0.5 sec in hit 2mph more

0.5 sec to hit 60-62?
i dont think so

This Losing to the 993 Carrera RS by 4 seconds on the Croft Circuit?? i call that a fixed race favoring the RS!!

Croft wouldn't suit the Viper as its all about handling rather than bute force on that track.

Whoever said that 1:32 is 10 seconds too fast at Willow Springs obviously has never been there with the Viper club, nor driven a Viper GTS there. Amazing how some people talk with no first-hand knowledge. Sigh, thats the internet for ya. Anybody can spout off innacurate information with no background checks. When Viper Days goes to WS big track, many bone stock Gen 2's do very low 30s there. Driving ace Terry Rossi has done a 1:29 in a bone stock Viper GTS ACR on street tires. 1:32 is achievable to a moderately capable driver if you have the "sack", and seat time. WS is all about nerve. Terry has videos on YT of him on WS and the Nordshleife in Vipers. Check it out.

PLEASE CORRECT THE 0-60 TIME.
VIPER HITS IT IN 4 FLAT.

96 gts new tires 0--60 3.8

the Slr HAS 620 HP AND THE 997 520, IS OBVIOUS

not that i doubt those performance numbers, but i do find it (Kinda strange that the GTS passes the 1 mile mark at 170mph when the 997 GT2 and SLR pass at 177 and 178mph!

come on!!!, there is the link:p!!! just change the performance:p!!!!!
The viper it's much more than that!!!!
