Seller's Introduction
duPont REGISTRY Live is proud to present this 1997 Dodge Viper GTS, enhanced by the renowned Hennessey Performance Venom 600 package and showing approximately 17,670 miles. Finished in the iconic Viper GTS Blue with bold white stripes, this example represents one of the most formidable iterations of the second-generation Viper—famously recognized as one of the fastest street-legal cars tested by MotorTrend.
Overview
With approximately 17,670 miles, this Viper GTS has been comprehensively upgraded by Hennessey Performance to Venom 600 specification, significantly elevating its already formidable performance. The exterior is finished in Viper GTS Blue with white vinyl stripes and features Venom 600 badging, a signature double-bubble roof design, and a glass rear hatch. Additional highlights include a 3-inch stainless steel dual-exit exhaust system, black-painted brake calipers, and a Hennessey Venom windshield banner, all contributing to its aggressive and unmistakable presence.
Power comes from an 8.0-liter V8 engine that has been extensively modified with ported cylinder heads, enlarged throttle bodies, an upgraded ECU, and an enhanced intake manifold. Paired with a 6-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive, this setup delivers an intense and engaging driving experience. Power-assisted four-wheel vented disc brakes provide confident stopping capability, complementing the car’s immense performance.
Inside, the cabin blends performance-focused design with premium materials, featuring black leather and Alcantara upholstery throughout. The bucket seats, Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel, and paint-matched shift knob reinforce the driver-centric experience, while Venom 600 floor mats and a Hennessey data plaque highlight its exclusivity. Comfort and convenience features include air conditioning, power windows and door locks, and an Alpine CD player, maintaining a balance between raw performance and usability.
This 1997 Dodge Viper GTS Hennessey Venom 600 presents a rare opportunity to own a highly modified and historically significant American supercar. Combining low mileage, iconic styling, and Hennessey-engineered performance enhancements, it stands as a compelling example of 1990s high-performance engineering at its most extreme.
