1998 RT/10 WEIGHT? ANYONE KNOW?

[King GTS]

I was positive that the RT/10 had always been heavier than the GTS. Just slightly anyway. Does anyone know the weight of the 1998 RT/10? Someone's now telling me that the 98 RT/10 was the lightest Viper ever made.

I say it's BS but thought I'd ask the pro's.

I think for '98
<UL TYPE=SQUARE>
<LI>R/T at 3319 lbs (no hard top)
<LI>GTS at 3383 lbs
[/list]

The GTS has much lower cd

Thanks Marv. You seem to have a wealth of Viper knowledge! Do you know what the horsepower was for the 1996 RT/10? I'm hearing conflicting stories. 450?

'96 RT/10 was a Gen 1 motor that had some intake and exhaust changes that got the rated h/p up to 415 (from the prior gen 1 rating of 400 hp) It's a rear exhaust car but cats only, (no muffler/resonator) in the side sills. Only muffler was the center one in the rear.

'96 GTS has the Gen 2 motor rated at 450 hp
