It\u2019s one of only 178 units painted in Race Yellow and retains its original chrome wheels. At first glance, it might seem stock, but beneath the surface, this car has been transformed into something much more potent.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2025\/05\/2017-dodge-viper-gtc-acr-extreme-for-sale\/\">Someone Paid $180K For This Rare Dodge In 2017, Then Never Drove It<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For starters, the 8.2-liter naturally-aspirated V10 has been rebuilt with forged pistons and a more aggressive camshaft. The fuel injectors and spark plugs have also been upgraded, and there are now a pair of K&amp;N cold air intakes sitting in a carbon fiber airbox. The shop tasked with upgrading the Viper also added a high-flow exhaust, long tube headers, and a new twin-plate clutch.<\/p>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article-thumbnails-organic\"><\/div>\n<p>But the changes aren\u2019t just limited to the engine. The Viper also sports upgraded axles, a beefed-up differential, and new chassis bracing to stiffen things up. Polycarbonate bushings round out the suspension enhancements, making this a well-rounded performance package.<\/p>\n<section class=\"type:slideshow\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><\/section>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mecum Auctions<\/h4>\n<p>This Viper has been garaged since new, and Mecum Auctions notes the exterior is in pristine condition, free of any damage. The interior also looks pristine, although it\u2019s not particularly inspiring with black leather and plastic adorning most surfaces.<\/p>\n<p>As far as power goes, the standard 2002 Viper produced around 450 horsepower, but with all the modifications, it\u2019s safe to say this one is likely pushing well over 500 horsepower. And just to remind you, this car comes with none of the electronic nanny systems that so many modern cars rely on, like stability control, traction control, or launch control.
