he Dodge/SRT Viper was, throughout its 1992-2010 and 2013-2017 run, a bona fide halo car for the Chrysler Corporation and the sole challenger to the Corvette’s reign as America’s only ultra-high-performance production sports car. This V-10-powered two-seat roadster, website, authored this definitive hardcover book (ISBN 9781787115293), subtitled Through its 136 pages, Zatz gives readers a well-researched insider’s perspective on the evolution from the original 1989 Detroit Auto Show RT/10 through the final 2017 version, including the myriad competition models and limited-run variants. Chapters also cover Viper-powered trucks and show vehicles, contemporary Mopar concepts, and selected specification charts. If you only have room for one book dedicated to that outrageous automotive-dream-made-reality, this is a good one to put on your shelf.
