Year-to-Year Changes:
1993 Dodge Viper: Vipers were supposed to come in several
new colors in 1993, but only black actually appeared. Otherwise, no
changes were evident. Chrysler Corporation planned to build 3000 Vipers
this season, but quality problems with the hood slowed production to
about half that total.
1994 Dodge Viper:
Air conditioning with CFC-free refrigerant could be factory-installed
this year. Previously, air was a dealer-installed option only. A new
electronic mechanism for the transmission prevented shifting into
reverse gear when the car was moving forward. The shift pattern put
reverse just to the right of fifth gear. Emerald green and yellow
joined the body-color selection, and a new black-and-tan interior could
be ordered (with emerald green exterior).
1995 Dodge Viper: No changes were evident for 1995. Air conditioning remained the only factory option.
1996 Dodge Viper:
Viper's previously exposed exhaust pipes now were enclosed. Routed
through a single muffler at the rear, the exhaust system used two
central tail pipes. Dodge claimed this reduced back pressure, boosting
horsepower to 415 and torque to 488 pound-feet. Three color schemes
were available this year, and only 500 roadsters were to be built
before production moved to a new plant. A removable hardtop was a new
option. Vipers also got new side curtains with sliding glass windows to
replace the former zippered plastic curtain. Restyled wheels wore
Michelin MXX3 tires. In spring of 1996, a GTS coupe joined the original
RT/10 roadster. The GTS was equipped with dual airbags, new seats with
integrated safety belts, power windows, electronic door latching with
an anti-theft system, adjustable pedals, 6-speaker CD system--and a new
powerful (450-horsepower) engine.
1997 Dodge Viper:
Production of the new GTS coupe continued, and the roadster reemerged
after a short delay, incorporating most of the coupe's new features.
Those included dual airbags and the 450-horsepower engine.
1998 Dodge Viper: The Dodge Viper returns for the 1998 model year with minimal changes to
the interior and exterior. The Viper is available in two models, the
RT/10 Roadster and the GTS Coupe. New refinements and equipment include
tubular, stainless steel exhaust manifolds to reduce weight and improve
emissions, an electronic radiator fan control for improved operation,
revised keyless entry system response and battery rundown protection.
The Viper also features next generation depowered airbags which include
a passenger air bag cut-off switch. Exterior paint includes Viper
Bright Metallic Silver and Viper Red. Interior color includes a Black
Monochromatic Interior. Leather seats, tilt steering, and an AM/FM
Stereo ETR CD player are also standard. A
cutoff switch was added for the passenger-side airbag this year, and
the exhaust system now was constructed of lighter-weight materials.
Metallic silver was a new exterior color.
1999 Dodge Viper:
New standard equipment included 18-inch wheels (formerly 17-inch),
power mirrors, aluminum-finished interior accents, and a new gearshift
knob. The GTS coupe got a remote hatch release, and Connolly leather
was a new option. Black was a new body-color choice for the GTS.
2000 Dodge Viper: Except for silver as a new body color, nothing was new for 2000.
2001 Dodge Viper: Viper got standard antilock brakes and added two new exterior colors for 2001.
2002 Dodge Viper:
An optional Final Edition Group was added midyear, shortly after the
previously optional lift-off hardtop became standard on the RT/10
convertible; otherwise, available graphite metallic paint was the only
change of note as Dodge's high-performance 2-seater entered its final
model year in its current design.
Picks: This 1998 Viper reflects its extremely low mileage in its condition - excellent inside and out, the paint is virtually
flawless as-is the interior leather and carpeting. All of the
glass is original and unmarked, and the soft and hard tops also
show as-new. The rims are unmarked and the tires are very high quality and have good tread life left. If I had to nitpick
something it would be that the car needs a new set of floor mats. That's really about all I can nitpick. Drives and shows
very well and it's hard to beat the outrageously low original mileage. Just inspected and serviced by the Viper tech at
our Dodge dealer, incl a/c work. There is nothing else to reasonably fault. Photos show the condition so please request
and review them.
