Description
1998 Dodge Viper GTS Coupe. Silver with Blue stripes. One of a kind Turbo Viper. I am the second owner, this car was bought brand new by the guy I bought it from. He is a 75 year old dentist and took amazing care of this car. When the car had roughly 30,000 miles on it he sent it to Super Viper Systems inc. in Chicago Illinois to perform the transformation. SVS is now closed but before the old man retired they were the premier Viper builder in the country. Look them up they are well known and thought of in the viper community. The car is now a 1000hp beast of a super car. Will do well over 200 and handle it with ease. Has Motec traction control and is so easy to drive. I will include a video link below.Here is a breakdown of what has been done:
Trans:
The trans was sent to John Denato to be rebuilt in order to handle the new power the engine would produce. If you don't know who John Denato is just google him. He is the man to go to when it comes to Viper transmissions. The trans is more then capable of handling the 1000+ hp. A Kevlar clutch and Billet Aluminum flywheel were also installed. Trans cooler and remote trans oil pump were also installed. At high speeds the g forces pull all the oil to the back of the trans which starves the front bearing. There is a switch on the console that activates the remote trans oil pump and recircs the trans oil to the front bearing for periods of sustained high speed driving. Everything on this car was made to be driven at 200+ and handle it!!
Engine:
The engine was torn down and completely machined and the block was O ringed. Balanced and blue printed with 8.4 JE pistons Custom big valve aluminum heads, T&D Rockers, Comp cam w/ roller lifters, Individual coil packs per cylinder. Accusump oil system. Squires rear mount turbo system was installed with its own oil pump and intercooler. 4 core aluminum radiator with dual fans. Custom made headers from SVS that are plumbed to the turbo and then to a custom single exit center rear exhaust that sounds absolutely amazing. Videos can not do the sound justice. This car turns EVERY head when it goes by. Sounds like a pissed off indy car :) The engine is controlled by a MoTec management system complete with traction control and flex fuel system. Car is currently tuned to run on E85 at 12 psi of boost. There is a knob on the dash that has additional tunes and boost levels loaded in. The car is still tuned for sea level so it is running a bit rich at the elevation here in Colorado. The engine is capable of handling plenty more boost on race fuel but this thing is already a monster at 12psi. It is putting around 840hp to the wheels on this set up.
Brakes:
The brakes were also upgraded. Up front there is 8 piston Brembo big brake kit complete with stainless brake lines.
Suspension:
KW clubsport coilover suspension was installed. The car was corner balanced and the coilovers were all custom tuned accordingly. Again everything on this car was built to do 200+ and handle it.
Rear:
3:55 Gears. 1000hp half shafts. Drive shaft loop. Half shaft loops.
Misc:
BBS 3 piece 18"wheels ( Right rear wheel has some curb rash on the lip)
Brand new Hoosier R7 Road racing tires. Super sticky!!!
Carbon fiber cowl
Shroth 5 point harness'
Shift light
Boost gauge
The list is endless on this car. There is over 200k that went into the build of this car and it shows. I am sure I have forgotten some things. This car is absolutely amazing and built very well. One look at this car and its condition and it is obvious this car has never been raced or beaten on. This is not your typical car that someone just threw a turbo on and cranked up the boost. This car was built with NO expense spared and the list above proves that. I can not stress how nice the fit and finish is on this car. This thing idles through town with great street manners but when you put your foot down hold on!!! This thing is a time machine!!! By far the fastest Viper I have driven. The Motec traction control works flawlessly and is amazing, you can easily put your wife behind the wheel with no worries The sound this thing makes is intoxicating and must be heard in person to be appreciated. I have some documentation on the build but not all of it. However I do have contact info for the guys that built it as well as the original owner who commissioned the build. The buyer will get all this info with the car. If there is something specific you need please ask prior to bidding.
Here is a video link of the Viper when it was for sale at the time I purchased it. It has only had 600 miles put on since this video was made, All pics above were taken today.
