6 Dodge Viper GTS
If you never dreamed about driving a Dodge Viper, you are with the minority. The car become popular after appearing on a myriad of movies and television shows. All generations of Viper had the same 6-speed manual transmission. A coupe model called the GTS was introduced in 1996. Dubbed “double bubble,” the roof featured slightly raised sections above each seat to accommodate usage of helmets, a throwback to its intended purpose. Vipers can be seen participating often in drag racing, road racing and drifting. Dodge Viper GTS created sensation during the 1997 “Supercar Comparison” by Motor Trend, in which the Viper GTS placed at the top against cars such as the Ferrari 550, Chevrolet Corvette, Porsche 911(993) Carrera and Honda NSX in all performance exercises except braking (The Braking was criticized nonetheless as Viper came last in this). In any case Dodge Viper GTS in its time almost single-handedly taken over the European Cars, as the “American Beauty” that could dent the European pride.
Design: Those two white stripes are a trademark of the car. Inspired by the Shelby Cobra, the Viper reintroduced a muscular and aggressive look to American sports cars. The Viper was conceived as a historical take on the classic American sports car. The iconic AC Cobra was a source of inspiration, and the final version of the Viper bears this out with its powerful engine, minimalist straightforward design, muscular and aggressive styling, and high performance. Some saw claims to kinship with the Cobra as a marketing exercise, ignoring that Carroll Shelby was heavily involved in the initial design of the Viper, and subsequent design of the Viper GTS coupe. In any case as the Dodge Viper stormed into the Market people loved its Performance & Styling equally. Till date Viper remained few of the American Cars that can really boast of a nice handling …..
