2000 Chrysler Viper GTS R Ex-Works/Team ORECA
The car that invigorated a generation of racing enthusiasts. The Ex-Works/Team ORECA 2000 Chrysler Viper GTS R which ran as number 91 and 51 during the 2000 Season. It wore the iconic Playstation livery while dominating at the 24hrs of Le Mans winning its class and placing 7th overall. Le Mans was just one of eight victories for Chassis C31 on the road to a 3-year sweep in which Viper Team ORECA won the ALMS Championship. Many of us remember piloting this car virtually in video games such as Gran Turismo much like Olivier Beretta, Karl Wendlinger and Dominique Dupuy did in real life.

Gran Turismo was definitely a big influence in making the Viper my favorite car as a kid. Purchased a 96 GTS a few weeks ago.

My father's name is Ken Nowak. He was a major part of development on not only the original RT-10 and GTS but also the GTS-R. He recently slipped into a diabetic coma and came out a little changed but the other day he still got excited and smiled to show me a picture of him in a 'legends' magazine. I'd be interested to know if anyone can help me find pretty much any reference videos and articles for Ken/Kenneth Nowak so I can put something together for him. Thanks everyone. I'm still proud of him for this beautiful piece of engineering. Kinda want to see more humanity in him and the memories may be just the thing.

Never touched Gran Tourismo or modern (i.e. post 1980) console games, but just the name sends me back to PC Game from just pre-Millennium a couple of years into my engineering job, enjoying title "Le Mans 24 Hours", and the infamous grid presentation, here among "VIPER team ORECA!" spoken with capital letters Nearest behind-the-seat experience have been in tons of simracing games/mods for the GTS-R model. Was lucky to hear one real world rumble as invitational to a classic race car meeting. Never ever get tired of this special V10 breed of sound ❤❤

I was like, 3yrs old when my father got me a hotwheelz set. My favorite car in that set, was the Viper. When GT5 came out on the PS3, i had seen the Viper going around those bends like a knife cutting butter. That day i realized how amazing my favorite car was. I couldn't even keep up with it, the car was just that fast. Even though i was only five, i knew how to race on the game, cuz i was born with that PS controller in my hand. The Viper left me, and i was not going to catch it either. 😂😂

@@hagestadI think he meant it more as the viper being dominant in its class during its reign. The Viper was a very fast race car. Surely the Viper could have seen even more success but Chrysler/Dodge stopped development of the platform for racing. Porsche has seen sustained success simply bcuz racing is how they sell their cars. The Chrysler bean counters could care less about racing pedigree to sell cars.

Today, race results depend on bop. Ford GTE is the best in the highest category GT, but Ford and Ferrari had the most ballast and the weakest boost. while the Porsche, by contrast, had no ballast and had the largest restrictor. The organizers simply give victorys to Volkswagen. Only in super gt there is still a fight for the title
