2000 Dodge Viper GTS

Description

Brutally powerful - but with all the right creature comforts - is why this 2000 Dodge Viper GTS instantly attractive. And when you see the full package is both premium and intimidating on this low-mileage supercar, it makes this 450 hp V10 machine a truly irresistible deal.

The GTS was a true racing-inspired Viper. The more aerodynamic lines of the coupe were better for speed. And so were the hood scoop, heat extractors, and full-width rear spoiler. Dodge even specially crafted the roof so your helmet would fit better. That's why these first-gen coupes seem to attract a few more collectors. And so it makes it even more attractive to find one that has averaged less than 370 miles annually over its lifetime so far. Most factory black cars look like they want to be lurking in the shadows, but this one is a little bit different. The black has an attention-grabbing gloss, and the silver racing stripes contrast the black nicely while adding to the shine. It even has true flair with those polished 18-inch wheels. So the muscular lines of this coupe want to be noticed. It's like a champion boxer out on the town after his heavyweight victory.

Low mileage also means less seat time and a sharp-looking interior. The coupe came in the Viper's 2nd gen, and for many of us, that's where they hit the sweet spot. Dodge was able to add comforts without losing that raw sports car feel. So you get great features like power windows, power locks, keyless entry, and a tilt steering column. There are even some nice updates, like a new air conditioning compressor and an AM/FM/XM stereo with USB and Bluetooth. You also have desirable safety features like dual front airbags. But the full feeling isn't really a coddler. The extra bolstering of the leather sport seats, bold white-faced gauges, auxiliary readouts dominating the top of the dash, and confident mechanical action of the stick shift are a reminder that this is for real drivers.

While the exterior and interior are dominated by a deep black, the engine bay is attractive for its blood red. The bold finish for the special 8.0-liter fuel-injected V10 was Mopar's way of acknowledging that they knew you'd be showing off the monster motor everywhere you parked. And on a car with such low mileage, that impressive presentation remains exactly how they intended. It truly roars to life with the kind of rumble that lets people know you have 450 hp and 490 lb-ft of torque. You get complete control of this via six-speed manual transmission, power steering, and a race-inspired fully independent suspension. Plus, four-wheel power disc brakes and grippy Toyo Proxes sport tires are exactly what you want for stopping power.

All Vipers are mean machines, but when you have the added style and substance of this GTS, it gives you a true brute-in-a-suit presentation. So that makes this one special for far more than its ultra-low mileage. Call today!!!
