All indications is that you won't want to hold your breath. The GTS developement is supposedly on the shelf, so we won't see one for a very long time. Figure if they change their minds, it took 4 years to go from RT-10 to GTS. I think the only thing that will get DC to build a GTS is for current Viper owners to show extreme interest in purchasing one.

Bill,

Just post the phone number you would suggest calling to show our
interest! I'd call! The RT/10 is ok, But I've bought three Vipers! (all GTS's) I just don't think the RT is right for me.
Don't the GTS's out sell the RT's by a bunch?

Here is the 2000 production figures, not really heavy towards the GTS.


Total Coupes 949 (804 U.S., 92 Canadian, 53 European Export)

Total RT/10's 840 (757 U.S., 83 Canadian)

I don't forsee buying another Viper until (and unless) the next gen. coupe is introduced. I understand that a lot of people from DC follow this site so perhaps if future coupe customers post up, the powers that be will listen and, as Bill suggested, set a course toward bringing a closed version to showrooms (hopefully sooner than later). Or you could call Tony.

I understand that the new GTS was killed at least 6 mo. ago. DC
stopped all development including any consideration for racing it again. It is dead and my never be built due to high costs which they may never get a return on with a low production car.
This is no longer Chrysler Corp. with Bob Lutz & Crew who made the Gen I Viper a reality.
Maybe if DC gets into the green again, it may be reconsidered.
Who knows, it is always worth asking for it but don't get your hopes up.
Buy a new GTS now if you want a new GTS. They may be the last one's made, forever!

I have from time to time had people e-mail me with questions about the new style coupe. I think Bill might have a good idea. If any of you are really interested in the new style coupe why don't you send me an e-mail stating this. I will collect them all and forward them to the right people.

DC,
Wayne is right! Build them and they will sell!

Can you imagine having a 500/500 beast you can't take to the
drags or auto cross! Unless you build in a roll cage! AHRG!

DC - What good is the Viper as a rolling advertisement if the only part of a race track they see is the parking lot!!!
