SRT Viper GT3-R race car arrives for the well-heeled privateer

The modern American renaissance at the 24 Hours of Le Mans began when Chrysler shipped the second-generation Viper to a bunch of French and British racing engineers, creating the Viper GTS-R race car that dominated the GT field in the late 1990s. This year, the new Viper has returned to GT racing at Le Mans, and today Chrysler revealed the race version it would sell to private teams, the SRT Viper GT3-R. This is one reason why kids dream of going racing.
