u got it partially correct but it was a blue viper!

ok at first I was going to admit I was wrong and believe you but I remembered that I have a book that has it in it, and it clearly states, and shows, because they had a RED VIPER RT/10 that was cut off from the windsheild back for filming it, it was a red one, the Defender turned into a grey car that had "teeth" in the front.

450HPviper will be all over that question. He will have a good answer.

Well if he knew as much about the Viper as me he wouldn't have to be all over it, I can recite them all by memory.

I'm sure there are plenty of people able to afford two Vipers, all those people that bought the Enzo's, well they could afford 5 of them!!! just imagine, having 5 Vipers.....

Well then I was PARTIALLY correct, I guess I never heard much about the second season, but in the book it does say it ran for one season and 13 episodes. Was it like a light blue with dark blue stripes or vice versa??

Your knowledge surprizes me.

:hehehe:

v10_viper · 04-22-2003, 07:37 AM

Still no answer?? I'm dissapointed that no one knows who the Viper was even created by!!!, and one is such a legend!!!

Scott 02 · 04-22-2003, 09:30 PM

Don't give it away yet, My buddy 450HPviper might know.

He loves vipers more than you I bet. And I'm really serious about that, trust me.

v10_viper · 04-23-2003, 06:16 PM

You can say all you want but that doesn't mean shit, still waiting for a reply, how long ago did I ask that?? hm.....I can recite them right away. There's another thread where a guy is wondering how much power the first RT/10's had, MAYBE he can help him, if he doesn't know well then I do.

The team was Robert A. Lutz, Tom Gale (Designer), and Francois Casting (engineer). Caroll Shelby also played a rule in the production of the first Viper.

OK, Hot Shot, What was the only year the Viper GTS and RT/10 had different Horsepower ratings?

Should be an easy one.

v10_viper · 04-24-2003, 06:14 PM

Good job, took long enough, where'd ya find the answer?? btw, it is Castaing not Casting. Carroll did not only play a role, he helped a lot on the Viper's design, take a close look at a GTS and a Daytona Cobra Coupe, they are VERY similar.

The year they had different power ratings was the first year the GTS came out, 96. RT/10's had 415 hp, bumped up from 400, and the GTS of course had 450.

The answer is '96. The GTS was rated at 450 and the RT's were 415. That wasn't the only thing though. Chassis and suspension improvements and exhaust was routed rearward.

By the way, Shelby had nothing to do with the GTS. He pulled out early in the RT/10 prototype stages because of his heart problems. Peter Brock was was very involved with Lutz, Gale and Castaing on the GTS. He was the designed of the original Cobra Daytona Coupe. The GTS is a cross between the concept of the Cobra Daytona and the Ferrari 250 GTO. If you look at the profile, you can see GTO all over the GTS.

Now we have Toyota Camry designers doing the Vipers. What in the heck happened?

DeViL · 04-24-2003, 10:08 PM

Nothing happened for the worse, after seeing a silver and red SRT-10 up close they look damn good. I take everything I said back about them not looking very fierce compared to the older styling. However I still like the GTS best of all, I'd be interested to see a hard top version of the new Viper.

450HPviper · 04-25-2003, 10:15 AM

I figured I questions was easy.

My spelling sucks.

No-one has answered where the engine came from, but I can only manage a partial answer;

I don't know exactly which one, but I know they took it from a truck, recast the block in Aluminium to reduce the weight, then wedged the result into that GORGEOUS concept car; after this my knowledge fails me & I have to admit defeat
