FACTS





  • Back in 1999, Motor Trend crowned the Hennessey Venom 650R as the “The Fastest Street Car We’ve Ever Tested”, adding that it’s “the hardest accelerating, fastest slaloming (1.06 g) street-legal car Motor Trend has ever tested”. A pre-production version driven by John Hennessey himself managed to hit 203 mph at the Honda proving grounds in Arizona
  • What was most impressive is the lack of forced induction: 650hp was achieved in naturally-aspirated form on pump gas and was 48-state-emissions-legal … no turbos or superchargers!
  • Dodge dealer sent brand new Viper GTS to Hennessey Performance. Besides the engine build ($37,500), Hennessey installed a full race-focused Brembo brake system ($12,000), “VenomAero” body upgrades ($14k+), and much more
Key Model Year Changes:
  • Roughly 80 of these 1st gen 650R’s were produced
  • 2000 is the final year without ABS. The following year (2001) saw 4-wheel ABS become standard
  • The V10 switches to lighter hypereutectic pistons. While these pistons provided less expansion, the forged pistons of the earlier models were preferred by customers for boosted aftermarket packages
  • Gussets with rivets are added to the frame near the steering box, strengthening a known weak point in the factory frame. TSB recalls (998 and 999) required dealers to offer this frame repair to owners of 1996 thru 1999 Vipers
  • Beyond the 2000MY, besides ABS and new paint colors, there were no further changes to the GTS Viper until the 2003 3rd gen
