2002, this Dodge Viper GTS was modified with an Autoform Street Coupe package, including a redesigned hood, front fascia, hood scoop, side skirts, rear valance, and raised rear spoiler. Autoform also supplied 18-inch BBS LM wheels and a Corsa exhaust system. The car was subsequently sent to Hennessey Motorsports for a 650R engine upgrade, producing 558 horsepower and 565 lb-ft of torque at the rear wheels.<\/p>\n
The car is finished in Viper Red with silver stripes and features custom two-tone black-and-red leather upholstery. Equipment includes an Alpine stereo, power windows, and air conditioning. The car was initially sent to Hennessey for a complete conversion, but due to unforeseen circumstances, only the engine and interior conversions had been completed by May 2002.<\/p>\n
In August 2002, Autoform was commissioned to provide its Street Coupe bodywork. The Street Coupe was developed by Autoform president Steve Dreyer in collaboration with Roy Sjoberg, who played a major role in the development of the Chrysler Viper program in the 1990s and was known as the \u201cFather of the Viper.\u201d<\/p>\n
The package included a Venom Aero front bumper cover, front splitter, hood with scoop, roof scoop, reshaped side skirts, revised rear quarters, a diffuser valance, and a raised, adjustable rear wing. The bodywork is finished in Viper Red with silver stripes. The car is reportedly one of only seven Vipers built with this bodywork.<\/p>\n
Autoform also supplied 18-inch BBS LM wheels fitted with Michelin tires measuring 275\/35 at the front and 335\/30 at the rear. Braking is handled by four-wheel ventilated disc brakes with ABS, which became available on the Viper beginning with the 2001 model year.<\/p>\n
Hennessey supplied two-tone Connolly leather upholstery featuring Hennessey logos. Collectors Choice Ltd. Series IIG tapestry floor mats and a trunk mat, both featuring red Viper logos, were also installed. An Alpine head unit is mounted in the center console above the controls for the power windows and air conditioning.<\/p>\n
The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 200-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 6,000-rpm redline. Auxiliary gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, and voltage are mounted at the top of the center stack. The six-digit odometer shows approximately 2,600 miles.<\/p>\n
Hennessey\u2019s 650R upgrade for the 8.0-liter V10 engine included boring and stroking the block to increase displacement to 8.4 liters, along with forged connecting rods, aluminum pistons, and ported and polished cylinder heads.<\/p>\n
Hennessey claimed that the 650R upgrade produced a peak output of 670 horsepower and 673 lb-ft of torque when new, measured at the flywheel. The dynamometer report provided for this car, however, recorded 558 horsepower and 565 lb-ft of torque at the rear wheels.<\/p>\n
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Tremec T-56 six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Autoform also supplied the Corsa cat-back exhaust system.<\/p>\n
