This is the story of how a team of performance nuts got together with the Snake himself, Carroll Shelby, and created an entirely new sports/muscle car. Team Viper's primary goal was a vehicle that concentrated on performance above all else. Their benchmark: to go from 0 to 100 back to 0 in under 15 seconds. The first design to emerge was a show car, which was unveiled on January 4, 1989 at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Orders began to flow before the show ended, and the "go" for production was given.Chassis prototypes were developed to study vehicle dynamics. Within a year of Viper's auto show appearance, a V-8-powered mule was being tested. A few months later, a stablemate powered by a cast iron V-10 joined the test fleet. Finally, in May 1990, Chrysler announced that the Viper would be made with the aluminum V-10. It was also in May of 1990 that the Viper was the official pace car of the Indianapolis 500. In December of 1991, the first red Viper RT/10 production vehicles rolled off the New Mack Avenue assembly line -- exactly three years after the concept car's 1989 auto show triumph. The rest, as they say, "is history." And its all here on this great program. This exciting story is presented by the multi-award winning television production team at WheelsTV, a bunch of car guys and gals who are truly Wild About Wheels.
