  • Today, it’s all about the Dodge Viper. This is the car that Mopar lovers dreamed about as a kid, the flagship performance car for Dodge long before the days of the Hellcats and Demons. The Viper was introduced in 1992, lasting over 25 years and 5 different generations until 2017. How does a company just suddenly decide to produce a massively powerful coupe with a V10? Let's take a deeper look into how the Dodge Viper was born.

    The first vehicle I ever drove on the street (grew up driving farm trucks) was a 2001 Viper GTS with the double bubble back in mid 2002. Dad was great friends with the local dealership owner and delivered all the inter-dealer trades in the region.

    The best performance car Dodge ever made and deserves another chance to live.

    I remember being blown away by this car when it first came out. As a life long mopar fan struggling with the K--cars of the 80's, the viper was a much needed breath of fresh air.

    Arguably the greatest american super sports car ever built. There's nothing that truly compares to it.

    I love my 2nd gen viper , the only thing thats annoying is that dodge doesn't make parts for it anymore and there are no aftermarket for it when it comes to replacement parts.

    Well here's a little inside information upon the creation of the Viper. I am a retired UAW Chrysler employee and my retirement plant of KTP Kokomo Transmission assembly. The actual creation of the Viper was originally thought of and created by two plant engineers that are two friends of mine that created the idea back in and around the year of 1987. The original prototype was created in one of their personal garages in Kokomo, IN. just down the street from the plant. The actual cardboard cutout is actually on display at the Walter P Chrysler museum. The two engineers presented the idea to headquarters and they eventually became head developers in the design department in corporate headquarters positions. So let's not give the big names too much credit for this iconic and beautiful domestic super car.

    The 2000 Dodge Viper GTS-R concept will always be my favorite Viper.
