A low-mileage 2001 Dodge Viper GTS ACR has surfaced for sale in Ohio, drawing attention from collectors due to its limited production numbers and preserved condition. The performance coupe, offered for $107,900, represents one of the more exclusive versions of Dodge’s iconic Viper lineup and remains a standout example of early-2000s American supercar engineering.
The vehicle has traveled fewer than 2,300 miles since new, making it an exceptionally preserved example of the high-performance model. Its rarity is further emphasized by production data indicating that only 51 Viper GTS ACR models were built in yellow with black stripes during the 2001 model year.
The ACR designation stands for American Club Racer, a factory performance package developed by Dodge to enhance the Viper’s capabilities for track-focused drivers and enthusiasts. In 2001, the ACR package was a significant upgrade costing about $10,000 and was selected for a limited number of vehicles. Only 227 Vipers were produced with the ACR Competition Group that year.
The Competition Group package introduced several performance-oriented features designed to reduce weight and improve handling. Among the included upgrades were 18-inch aluminum wheels, a low-restriction air cleaner and a competition-tuned suspension system. The package also removed certain comfort features such as fog lamps, air conditioning and the radio in favor of track-ready equipment including five-point racing restraints and distinctive ACR badging.
In this example, the car was later equipped with both air conditioning and a radio, providing a balance between performance and comfort. The vehicle’s original paint remains in outstanding condition, consistent with its low mileage and careful ownership history.
At some point, the tires were replaced to maintain drivability, though the original Michelin tires are still included with the vehicle. The presence of original components further enhances the car’s appeal among collectors who often value originality when evaluating rare performance cars.
The Viper GTS ACR is widely recognized for its raw driving character, powered by a V10 engine producing 460 horsepower and paired with a six-speed manual transmission. The model gained a reputation for delivering uncompromising performance and aggressive styling, helping solidify the Viper’s place among American high-performance icons.
With its extremely low mileage, rare color combination and limited production numbers, the 2001 Viper GTS ACR stands out as a collectible example of early 21st-century American muscle. Enthusiasts and collectors often view vehicles like this as both a driving experience and a potential long-term investment.
The car is currently offered through Sunnyside Chevrolet of Elyria, Ohio, working in conjunction with Greg’s Sports, Classic, and Muscle, where it is being presented as a well-preserved example of one of Dodge’s most exclusive Viper variants. See it here.
