1996 Dodge Viper Description
The first prototype was tested in January 1989. It debuted in 1991 with two pre production models both for the Indy 500 pace car. The centerpiece of the car was its engine. The Lamborghini Company, then owned by Chrysler Corporation, designed theV-10for the Viper by recasting the block and heads in an aluminmn alloy, and was based on the Chrysler LA V8 engine. A major contributor to the Viper since the beginning was Dick Winkles, the chief power engineer, who had spent time in Italy. The engine weighs 711lb and produces 400bhp at 4600rpm and 465lb·ft. The body is a tubular steelframe with resin transfer molding(RTM) fiberglasspanels. It has a curb weight of 3,284lb The car is spartan, although it features inflatable lumbar support and adjustable seats, along with the absence of exterior door handles, the vehicle lacks side windows and a roof. Although a soft top cover was available, it was designed primarily for indoor vehicle storage. Side curtains of fabric and clear plastic operated by zippers can be inserted into the door and hand-bolted when needed. All of these decisions were made to reduce weight. The battery is located in the sealed compartment over the rear wheels to increase rear-end weight and traction. The car shipped with a tonneau cover and video tape on soft-top assembly (the soft top is removable and folds to fit in the trunk). In 1994 the car came for the first time since release with several options available to the buyer. These included air conditioning, adjustable suspension, larger diameter wheels to accommodate larger brakes, and a fiberglass hardtop for the roof. 0-60mph @ 4.6 sec, 0-100mph @ 9.2sec and the quarter mile in 12.9sec @ 113.8mph with a top speed of 168 mph. #000632…….This is a stunning example of a 1996 Dodge Viper roadster.
