With its fully convertible top, the new Viper is finally a modern-day rendition of the 427 AC Cobra. The Viper has always had the brute acceleration, neck-snapping cornering ability, and eyeball-popping stopping power of the AC Cobra, but the roadster with its targa top lacked the wind-in-your-hair sensory overload of a completely open car. Someone once wrote that driving an AC Cobra flat out was the closest thing to riding bareback on a big-block V-8. Now the same holds true with the Viper: Put the pedal to the metal and hold on tight, because we guarantee you'll swear you're riding bareback on a 500-hp V-10 engine. —André Idzikowski-Car and Driver

Owned by several collectors, and kept in controlled environments; paint is in amazing condition with full PPF (paint protection film) applied over entire car; new struts installed in trunk lid; new windshield wipers.

In overall wonderful original condition; areas of concern is limited to slight cracking of plastic trim in console and door handle at screw points, and some finish removed on dash from what appears to be a mount location of some sort; Low tire pressure light is on, suspect TPMS sensor, as pressures checked and driven the distance required to reset; no other concerns.
