GTP Cool Wall: 1992-1995 Dodge Viper RT/10

[Beeblebrox237]

Remember, 1992 dude. What else had 400hp at the time? Nothing production, I'm pretty sure.

The '93 ZR1 made 405, the Diablo made 492, the Testarossa made 428, The Lotus Carlton made 377, and the '93 V8 Vantage made 550. And that's before considering cars like the F40, XJ220, or EB110.

This car is Sub-Zero but I have always preferred the looks of the coupe GTS.

 

[Stotty]

Bit of a legend and a bit of a dog to drive by all accounts.

Still cool.

 

[Roger the Horse]

An ugly duckling compared with what came later, but it also has a simple stylishness that those models can't match.

 

[TheCracker]

I love it. But it's very uncool. The Griffith did it better, at least until the GTS came along.

 

[ToyGTone]

Hmm. ... Americans voted for Sub Zero and non Americans voted for Uncool or Super Uncool.

I'm not an 'Merican but I'm voting for SZ easily.

(I hate those phone auto correction btw)

I'm not American either and I voted cool.

 

[GTP_Ingram]

I can understand why people would say the Viper is uncool (even seriously so), because it's loud, obnoxious, and about as classy as a night out in Newcastle.

To me though, if you're going to be obnoxious, you might as well not do it in half measures. Cool.

 

[Adamgp]

Easy S-Z for reasons already mentioned.

 

[Cano]

Even I that don't really like Vipers in general have to give this thing a cool. It just is.

 

[Legro]

Hmm. ... Americans voted for Sub Zero and non Americans voted for Uncool or Super Uncool.

You do know 3/5 people who voted uncool are American, right?

 

[Joel]

It's pretty insane how far interiors have come in the past 20 years. Compare the interior in this car to the modern Viper or Corvette, it's quite a difference.

 

[2clicks]

Every time I look at it, I think of the music that plays in the Dodge dealership in GT1. For invoking such awesome memories, it deserves an SZ.

 

[Wiegert]

Pristine lines unsullied by twin body-length stripes or lip spoilers. Sure, the GTS/coupe is cool in its own right, but it can't really compare to the roadster that got the ball rolling.

SZ.

 

[Cano]

Pristine lines unsullied by twin body-length stripes or lip spoilers. .

The concept car was even more dramatic, it looked impossibly awesome:

It was a design sketch brought to life, it's proportions were insane.

 

[motortrend]

SZ definitely, the kind of crazy we no longer get in cars (which Is a good thing, however).

 

[SVT Cobra GT]

Super cool because it started it all.

But not SZ because with it's roof on it's proportions don't look right.

 

[MoLiEG]

Technically, the Hot Wheels wheels were based off of American Racing wheels.

Offtopic: Wow, I didn't know that. They are awesome!

On topic: Subzero. After all these years, I still fall for it

 

[Heldenzeit]

Its cool, but not GTS cool. GTS would be SubZero with its Le Mans history and race pedigree.

 

[McLaren]

Its cool, but not GTS cool. GTS would be SubZero with its Le Mans history and race pedigree.

I think if it had notched the class win, we would have seen the RT/10 at Le Mans once or twice more; 12th overall, 2nd in class to a Porsche-backed Dauer 962.

 

[Heldenzeit]

Didn't know they raced the RT/10. Very cool!

 

[Exorcet]

It's a nice car, but easily the worst Viper of the bunch. This is the one that actually deserved the poor handling comments, and being a car with an open top, the aerodynamics were terrible. Though the engine was aluminum, I recall the weight coming in at just over 700 lbs for the first few years. It really wasn't until the GTS that the Viper became a true sports car in my opinion. Given what Chrysler was in the 80's, the RT/10 was a good start though.

As a successor to the Cobra, it's disappointing that the car isn't really light, but average weight. However, I guess the later ACR versions sort of make up for this. Also, again given the state of Chrysler's car line up in the late 80's and early 90's, this car really does stand out.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

GTS was so much cooler, but I can't fault the RT/10 for being such an out-there, completely ballsy move by Chrysler at the time. 3-Spokers be damned, this thing get's the SZ.

Didn't know they raced the RT/10. Very cool!

Basically every Race Mod in GT1 was based off an existing racer, no matter how obscure

Here is a pic of the enterior of a 1992 Viper. I like the black and red color scheme.

 

[Slash]

The first-gen Viper was a great idea that I'm glad Chrysler had the balls to build. The first generation, however, wasn't perfect. The styling has aged badly. The features are too round, they look bloated. The wheels came directly from a Hotwheels car. Seriously:

The biggest difference there is the Viper had six lugs.

But with a V10 and the status of the closest thing America had to a supercar, it's still cool.

Cool.

Those actually exist.

I think those type of rims were available for the 1994-2001 Ram and the first generation Durango.

 

[Leggy1]

I love this car, all Vipers in fact. Beautiful and aggressive styling, crazy engine and serious performance.

But you'll look like a massive berk if you drive one.

SU, but I wouldn't care about that if I owned one.

 

[The87Dodge]

It is a shame that after GT2, the Viper RT-10 was absent from all GT games. In my opinion, one of the best Dodge cars ever made.

 

[ScottPuss20]

Putting a truck motor into a sports cars sounds crazy on the surface, but Dodge made it work somehow. Sub Zero

This may sound like a noob question, but did the 1992-1995 Viper have a Cummins engine like the Rams?
