1997 Viper GTS
One owner
Minty Fresh
Borla Long tube
Borla Cat Back
Roe Engineering high flow cats
Smooth tubes

Updated cooling fans
Fully forged engine from Dodge

Cool cars and fun to drive in. I've got 3 people in my neighborhood with Vipers and been wanting to run them for fun but no luck yet. Awesome cars though. Congrats on the purchase.

Congrats on the new toy! I sell some Forgestar wheels that would give the car a very updated appearance. Only $1550/set for 19s. Tires extra.

19x10 and 19x12:
