1997 Dodge Viper GTS

Presented here in Viper Red with iconic White racing stripes, this 1997 Dodge Viper GTS embodies a sought-after spec at pinnacle of early coupe collectability. Few modern American performance cars have reshaped the supercar landscape quite like the Viper GTS. Introduced as the more rigid, fixed-roof evolution of the open-top RT/10, the GTS combined brutal performance with improved structural integrity and everyday usability—cementing its place as the definitive expression of Chrysler’s 1990s halo car. 

Beneath its dramatically sculpted, reinforced composite bodywork lies an aluminum-block 8.0-liter V10 producing a formidable 450 horsepower and 490 lb-ft of torque. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a 6-speed manual transmission and limited-slip differential, offering an unfiltered and deeply engaging driving experience. A Borla exhaust system further amplifies the V10’s unmistakable soundtrack, while 4-wheel disc brakes with Black-painted calipers and power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering ensure confident control. The car’s tubular space frame chassis—stiffer and more refined than over its predecessor—contributes to its enduring desirability among enthusiasts.

Riding on factory 17” alloy wheels, this Viper shows an odometer reading of just 17,419 miles backed by clean Carfax history. The cabin is trimmed in Black leather upholstery paired with period amenities including air conditioning and an Alpine AM/FM/CD stereo. A clean, well-preserved example of Dodge’s most audacious performance statement of the era, this 1997 Viper GTS stands as an investment-grade modern classic.
