2003 Dodge Viper Competition Concept
With a coupe-shaped composite body based largely on the Dodge Viper GTS/R concept car and a track-ready chassis based on the new 2003 Dodge Viper RT-10 convertible, this new snake should emerge as a serious competitor from the first lap.
Dodge officials expect to build 25 cars in the first year, but have the ability to expand production as demand grows. Plans include technical support for competitors at all major events. Parts may also be offered through DaimlerChrysler’s Mopar Performance Parts division, and available through dealerships nationwide.
Major Standard Equipment: FIA saftey cage with engine bracing. Tilt steering column with GTS-R wheel Motec Dash and data aquisition system with ECU interface Composite dash panels Adjustable front anti-roll bar Fire supression Electrical cutoff switch.
