1999 Dodge Viper GTS review from North America
"If you can afford this $100,000 (Canadian Funds ) bad boy, and like fast cars... go for it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace the head gaskets at 75,000 Kilometers.
Fan belt went at around 90,000 Kilometers.
That is about it other than usual maintenance.
General comments?
This car is simply a BEAST!!
With the big, wide tires on the back that come stock, this car takes off the line super fast. This car is so fast I'm afraid to even put it into 4th gear, considering it will do around 50 mph in first!!
The look of the VIPER GTS itself is mind blowing, and the performance as I described before, will give you an extreme adrenaline rush. The only thing I don't really like about the VIPER is that 10 cylinder engine, it SOUNDS like a TRACTOR! Even with a High Performance Muffler it sounds bad.
