"Porches for Breakfast, Ferraris for Lunch"

"I have a 1997 red GTS. I'm glad my wife loves my car because I'd hate to have to choose between them. I put 250,000 miles on a Corvette over 13 years and then picked up the Viper. I've put 49,000 miles on my Viper in 8 years (my daily driver for several years) and it's still a rush every time I fire it up. The deep rumble of the pipes and the way it rocks from side to side as the 500hp engine lopes at 450 rpm, gets amazing attention everywhere I go. If you test drive one, you'll have to have it!!!"

Silver on Black

"I own a TNT motorsports Serpent 655 number 11 of 12. The car has 505 hp and 505 ft lb of torque to the rear wheels on the dyno at D.C. Performance. The car is a handfull to drive, no top, no windows, no power steering, just all motor and driveline. It is a drivers car and is not forgiving, you need to pay attention. That being said you can not, for the money, buy a better exotic true american sportscar. Valet...always up front, wherever it's parked... always a crowd! Zero to 100 in 7.5 seconds, low 11s in the quarter and handles like a go kart!! mad fun!"

Dream come true

By 97 Blu/Wht GTS (Cleve, OH) on Tuesday, February 01, 2011

"450 hp, 490 tq ...for a 1997? How can you go wrong. Compare the same year Corvette and it gets stomped by performance and crushed in resale value. Car is no excuses, no ABS, no traction control so its a drivers car and needs to be respected. MUST have fresh tires at all times or rear will get loose and come around with the lightest touch! Stock radio is terrible and car gets hot from the stock cat converters in the door sills. The flaws are easily corrected. Would recommend to anyone, it's my first Dodge and I was skeptical but now I wouldn't trade it for anything."
