14K ORIG MILES, 2 OWNERS, AS CLOSE TO SHOWROOM NEW AS YOU CAN FIND, SVC RECEIPTS

Even if you're not a Dodge fan, ou have to admit that without cars like this 2000 Dodge Viper RT-10, here would be no 630 horsepower ZR1 Corvettes, o Shelby GT500 Mustangs, nd probably no 500 horsepower Mercedes-Benz roadsters. The Viper made horsepower its biggest selling point, nd ever since the first one hit the streets two decades ago, veryone else has been playing catch up.This gorgeous black Viper shows just 14,282 original miles and is pretty much like new in every measurable way. By the year 2000, he Viper had evolved from the primitive, ack-to-basics brute it was originally to an impressive grand touring car with mind altering performance. No, t wasn't as polished as some of its competitors, ut that wasn't the point; the Viper was all about uncompromising performance. And nothing advertises that intent better than sinister black paint. No stripes, o goofy wings, ust a low, ide, littering black monster that looks like it would tear the rear bumper off a slow-moving Volkswagen squatting in the left lane. Upgrades gleaned from the GTS coupe include the vented hood with ram air, ear exhaust which sounds a lot better than the earlier side pipes, nd gorgeous 18-inch wheels, hich, n this car, ave been powdercoated to match the bodywork, pping the nastiness by a factor of 10. Of course, s a properly maintained original car with low miles, he finish is showroom fresh with virtually no signs of having ever been driven on the street. That means no scuffs on the chin, o rocker panel chips, nd no abraded rear wheel wells from the spinning tires. This is the car you want to own if you're buying a used Viper.The black leather interior is in the same stunning condition, irtually unmarked and beautifully preserved ever since it was new. Wrap-around buckets are as comfortable as they look and work beautifully on the track, hould you decide to probe the Viper's considerable performance limits. White-faced gauges were innovative when the Viper first hit the market, nd look even more awesome when you remember that they came that way from the factory. Increasing sophistication means that formerly optional things like A/C, ruise control, nd ABS brakes were standard equipment in 2000, nd thanks to Chrysler's engineering might, verything works as it should. Who would have thought that a 550-horsepower sports car would be as reliable as an anvil? Turn the key and drive it anywhere, nd never give it a second thought. You'll be comfortable doing it, oo, ecause the thin-skinned journalists complaining about its rough edges were probably asking it to do things it wasn't designed to do. It's made to go fast and look good doing it. Period.There's no mistaking the Viper's gorgeous red cast aluminum intake manifold and valve covers. On the street, veryone knows better than to tangle with the big, lack snake, nd if its looks aren't enough, he rumble from the Magnaflow stainless exhaust system is a strong deterrent. Every hose, ire, lip, astener, nd marking from the factory remains intact, nd while routine maintenance has been performed ever since the car was new, reat care was taken to preserve the originality. With such low mileage, t's also likely that things like the brake pads and rotors are OEM, nd it's wearing a set of gigantic Michelin radials, 75/35/18s up front and 335/30/18s in back, hat are probably only the second set of tires it's ever worn.Early Viper fans are some of the most passionate guys in motoring, nd with this as their vehicle of choice, t's easy to understand why.
