GT2 Trivia

[Viperenvy]

Anyone have any interesting trivia on the 1998 Viper GT2 that you would like to share or see if others know?

[Viperenvy]

OK - After all the views, I guess I will start.

How many do you think are available for purchase right now?

[Viperenvy]

Survey says #099 from Mr. Lutz that was raffled off in 2010

[Viperenvy]

What paint feature does the GT2 have that is different than a 1996 GTS?

[AviP]

I had the option of buying one but after seeing the $20K premium over list, I backed out because it was not worth the 10 additional horsepower. I regret it as I missed out on the classic value.

They made a 100 of them, right? How many were crashed? I see 4 on sale at the viperexchange.com.

[Viperenvy]

And we have a player!!

#82 is a new car on the site/market and was last registered with 16,827 miles. Anyone know the owner around the Ft. Lauderdale area?
#51 been up & down for a long time.
#79 sold in 2016.
#24 sold in 2018 to the investment firm in NY and was extremely well bought based on the SEC filing statements


I will give a hint. 4 isn't even close......

Time to Play again!

What was the proposed sticker price of the GT2?

[Viperenvy]

It takes the mast to school the newbie. Now I am going to have to measure stripe gaps.....

Thank you JonB!!

You should at least recoup your original investment after 20 years. I would estimate 17 for sale.

There are 10 available for purchase. 8 are listed for sale - 2 have been on and off for sale and could be bought if someone came along with a really nice check. On average there have been 5 trading hands per year over the last 5.

Next question.....

What was the first day of production of the 100?

Thanks for playing

What parts does the GT2 and ACR share?

[JonB ~ PartsRack]

What parts does the GT2 and ACR share?

"SHARED" ? .....TRICK QUESTION?!

For starters: WHEELS / CAPS

plus...Frame, Motor, Body, etc etc etc....

Almost the entire car is shared but for cosmetics and aero.

Here is some GT2 Trivia:

What Viper Quarterly mag featured the cover photo and story "FIA GT2 WORLD CHAMPIONS" ?


What Viper Quarterly mag featured cover photo GT2, and "FIRST DRIVE VIPER GT2" and included a 2-page studio centerfold-style photo?

[AviP]

C'mon ViperEnvy! Stop teasing us. So was it 100 or 102 cars GT2s? And do you know of any crashed ones?

[Viperenvy]

Close enough on actual sticker, but the Viper Team wanted another MSRP to sell the GT2's. Marketing refused.

[AviP]

Interesting!

[Viperenvy]

Stay tuned for more trivia. If you have trivia, then please ask it.....

Here's something most people probably haven't seen. From the front lip installation memo

Here's the attachment points and the brackets that they used. This was installed on a regular GTS. Imo it's the cleanest front splitter available for the GenIIs. It may not do a lot but it looks the best.

I find it interesting that so little is know about what many consider the pinnicle of Gen II.

Perhaps since it's an older car now, those who know the most aren't browsing these forums, eh?

The "pinnacle" was just an airbox, spoiler and paint job. Perhaps that is why it's not as impressive as it seems. I went to LeMans 1998 and have a fonder attachment to it.

Don't forget the two tone Black / Blue interior and the Numbered Chassis. + Camera of your car being built along the assembly line at each station.
If you could order and afford one of these cars back 1997 /98 then this was the car to have!

Stay tuned for this months GT2 Trivia at mid-month.

Until then, who can spot any inaccuracies in the vehicles long description that have perpetuated throw time?
