The first-generation Dodge Viper packaged power and handling like few before it. Replete with a high-displacement aluminum powerplant, dramatic styling, and manual transmission-only performance credentials, Dodge made its mark. Facelifted in 1996, tri-spoke wheels were traded for a contemporary 5-spoke design while rear center exhaust replaced the original’s side-exit system. Most notably, the GTS coupe joined Dodge’s lineup—carrying 450hp/490lb-ft torque and ample creature comforts. Less obvious updates targeted weight savings, stiffened suspension with revised geometry, and higher capacity engine cooling. Among enthusiasts, seldom-seen color combinations like 1997’s Gold Package, rounded out the car’s exotic taproot ethos.
