It’s been over ten years since a Viper ran at Le Mans, but SRT is returning for the 90th edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans this weekend! A lot has changed since Vipers won the GTS class three consecutive times, from 1998 to 2000, but SRT feels they are ready, with two identically prepared Viper GTS-Rs. The No. 91 Viper has already had three top-five finishes in the ALMS series, including a third place at Long Beach. More pics after the jump! Via Autoweek
Hennessey adds long-tube headers, a 3-inch exhaust, K&N filter and high-flow cylinder heads to bump power up to 725 hp and 695 lb-ft of torque–that’s a major improvement over the stock 640 hp! Video after the jump! Via GTSpirit
SRT just launched a great new ad campaign called “Body and Soul” featuring the new Viper plus some awesome old Mopar iron. Check out the video after the jump!
Actually, the auction ended this weekend with the reserve not met, after the car from the famous 90s TV show was bid up to $174,100. The seller claims the same car failed to sell at Mecum back in 2010 for $270,000. More pics plus ad text after the jump! Via eBay
