The first‑generation Dodge Viper (SR‑I) was praised for raw power but plagued by harsh suspension, tramlining and lack of electronic aids, making it difficult to control. In 1995 Dodge introduced the SR‑II, stiffening the chassis, swapping to aluminum suspension parts and retuning geometry to curb unpredictability. The refined platform enabled the Viper GTS‑R race car, built with Reynard and Oreca, to extract nearly 700 hp from the 8.0‑L V10 and capture the 1997 FIA GT championship. The model remained competitive in endurance racing until its 2017 discontinuation, ending its factory motorsport program.
