SNAKE EYES


Having recently proven itself in the American Le Mans Series with an undefeated season, Dodge Viper GTS-R proudly claims the title of thoroughbred racer. The Viper GTSR Concept Vehicle explores the idea of bringing that race-ready handling and performance to the street.

The Viper GTS-R street racer is lower and lighter than ever, and every detail has been reworked for maximum functionality. Viper GTS-R's airflow is fully adjustable by the driver with an electronically controlled front splitter, a large rear air diffuser and a rear hoop spoiler with an electronically trimmable wing.

To further blur the boundaries between racer and road car, Dodge engineers managed to tweak a little more power out of Viper's outrageous 8.0-liter V10. With dry-sump technology, it now produces 500 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of torque - up from 450 and 490, respectively.

That's enough extra get-up-and-go-power to take the Dodge Viper GTSR Concept Vehicle from 0-60 in 3.75 seconds (est.), with a top speed coming in at over 200 miles per hour!

over 200mph... that'll teach the new corvette

 

Dude, I read that same article like 2-3 yrs ago....

 

More like 4-5 years ago...

 

well good for you. they need to make the viper out of carbon fiber though

 

No they don't

 

Why in the world would they go and ruin the Viper like that? Carbon fiber in MY OPINION is highly overused and it's almost become tacky to some degree.......I could see if you were racing your car.....but show cars and every day drivers that never even see a track.....

 

well.....DAMMIT! they just need to do something to it to compete with the new corvette. thats all i want.

 

the carbon viper looks like ****, i dont care how well it does


and yes this is old new

 

It does compete. As a matter of fact, the C6 and SRT-10 are almost dead even in QM times, also I think the Corvette is .08 seconds faster 0-60. The Corvette is carbon fiber which I would not like safety wise. It's lighter, the only difference. Add a couple horses and it's got the Corvette. Mod them almost completely and there is no doubt the strained V8 will lose to the roaring V-10.

 

In 1998 Dodge did create 100 of the "GTS-R Road" which used the 450Hp engine. The GTS is done with, the new SRT-10 fills its place.
