A few generic Viper GTS questions...

[E_tar]

Was wondering if anyone knew the answers or where I can get answers to these general GTS questions..
I did use the search feature for question 2, but didnt get a proper answer..

1. Is the Viper GTS a collectors car?
I know many think it is, since they dont make them any more, but is it really a collectors car based on the number of cars remaining and its value (depreciating or stable).

2. How many GTS built from 1996-2002 still survive?
I'm assuming many have been either crashed by inexperienced owners or salvaged and parted out.

3. What is it classified as ?
I've heard Vipers classified as everything from Muscle cars, to super cars to Exotics in various ads...
So Are they Supercars? Exotics? Muscle Cars? or Sports Cars?

thanks
Chris..

The Viper certainly is a collector's car and a lot more. A Viper is a great addition to any exotic car collection given its history and unbelievable performance. Now that the Viper is approaching 20 years old, one can see that after a period of depreciation, the cars tend to stabilize in price.
I don't know the answer to question 2 but it certainly is not many. There were likely less than 10,000 GTS models produced during 96-2002 and probably 10% of those are gone.
The car is classified as all of the above in your question depending upon whom you talk to. It certainly is a super sports car that is exotic. I really don't classify it as a muscle car in the traditional sense as it is a 2 seater.

The Viper has been low volume production, so it is collectable. But, who cares? Love it for what it is.
No idea on question #2.
My insurance company classifies the Viper as a "premium performance" car. They are usually very reasonable to insure. Search around and you'll find plenty on this.

So Chris, are you looking to buy a GTS?

There were just over 7k GTSs made during that 7 year run. I have heard from a few who keep up with such things that over half are off of the road.

It is a collector's car. Which is good, because you can get a super low miles GTS that is almost brand new (wear wise) and then drive the living heck out of it like it deserves to be driven!
