Current owner:  Fiat-Chrysler Automotive

Chassis History/Notes:  This first chassis was painted black and was unveiled in 2001 at Laguna Seca wearing Viper Red paint with dual silver stripes and a silver "Fangs" logo on the quarter panels. Viper Program Manager John Fernandez drove the car on track followed by Senior Powertrain Manager Peter Gladysz in a production Viper. Per team members, P1 was constructed in Canada by Multimatic. At the time it wore a wing similar to that of the 2002 GTS-R Concept Car. Though the car wasn't built for full development work on track, it did participate in some aero testing and brake development testing. 

Its specific chassis history is unknown beyond that and at one point the car was disassembled. It's believed that in the mid 2000s an effort to reassemble the car for its historical value was undertaken at Chrysler. For a period of time thereafter it was on display inside the Viper Cafe at the Walter P. Chrysler Museum. As of August 2021 the car was on display for Chrysler employees inside the Conner Avenue Assembly Plant

Chassis History/Notes:  This chassis was said to have been the first design revision and participated in the bulk of the original development work in 2001-2002. Interestingly it maintained the large basket handle rear wing shown on the first prototype, but the front end aero treatments more closely reflected those which would make it into production. The chassis appears to have been black. This may have been the car that first participated in a drag race against an Air Force F-16 Viper in 2002 at Luke Air Force Base. It was part of an episode of the TV show "Ripley's Believe It or Not". Here it wore a red livery that included Performance Vehicle Operations (PVO) graphics on the doors. This car lived a hard life which included a wreck at GingerMan Raceway. The car was eventually scrapped by Chrysler following end of program. Other history and timeline unknown.

Current owner:  Fiat-Chrysler Automotive

Chassis History/Notes:  This chassis was painted grey and remained in service with the development team throughout the entire Comp Coupe program. The car was also used by the factory in the first Viper Racing League appearance for Comp Coupe in Nashville. There it wore Viper Racing League graphics on the doors of its black livery with a large "02" on the quarter panels. The original black livery then included an American flag on the doors, a red Dodge windshield banner, a black wing and additional military jet inspired graphics on the roof and quarter panels. Per the development team it was used for durability testing and included approximately 90% of the design updates which had been devised to that point. It was used in a  second drag race event with an F-16 and was driven by journalists for magazine reviews including Car and Driver in 2004. 

In 2005 the original body panels were removed and some were auctioned off. The upgraded aero package was fitted to the car and it was painted red where it appeared at another publicity event at Luke Air Force Base. The chassis continued performing much of the development work and durability testing through 2008. The car was disassembled by Chrysler at some point but then team members were told to reassemble the car for its historical value. In the eyes of Comp Coupe Development Engineer Matt Bejnarowicz, P3 may be the most memorable of the prototypes as it participated through every evolution of the program. This chassis is believed to still exist with Chrysler as result in their former museum collection.

Current owner:  Mark O'Dell, North Carolina (*October 2020)

Chassis History/Notes:  This chassis is said to have been used for developmental work including wind tunnel testing. It was built to be a production verification for a customer specification car. Originally it wore a Performance Vehicle Operations (PVO) livery in red with white lettering and an "O3" on the quarter panels. Chassis paint at this time appeared to have been white. At some point the interior was painted grey. For a brief time the exterior of the car remained red, but was switched to a Dodge Motorsports livery before receiving "SRT" badging on the doors. It was eventually passed from Chrysler to Cindi Lux. Cindi participated in multiple endurance tests with it to validate new components and sensors some of which lasted 36 hours. She also used the car for driver training with Dodge.

 P4 appeared in multiple magazine reviews during the Comp Coupe introduction and was displayed at Viper Owner Invitational events. Per program sales manager Tom Francis the car was loaned to Skip Thomas for use at Viper Racing League events to give drives to prospective customers. During this time Viper Racing League graphics were added to the hood and doors at times wearing race number 84.

The livery was again changed to a special Mopar livery which was bright red with silver/white Mopar lettering on the doors and hood and number 05. One team member recalls the car being used to take prospective buyers on thrill rides and at times, parts were robbed to support emergency repairs of Dodge Motorsports backed cars in World Challenge GT competition.  Even though it was used for testing and press track work, no information has been found to show the car participated in any competition. This is believed to be correct and it was never updated from the original VRL configuration. Interestingly while some sections of the chassis remain in white, the interior of the car appears grey as production Comp Coupes were  delivered except under the roll cage padding where the original white paint remains. The reason for this change is unknown at this time. 

Eventually Chrysler sold the car and it was available for purchase at BJ Motors in Texas as of 2018. At some point headlights were installed in the car. A new owner took delivery of the car in October 2020 and returned the livery to it's original PVO appearance. It appeared at the 2021 Viper Days Reunion and was entered in the race group. It was photographed at the event alongside chassis 15 which has been given a tribute livery matching P4's original PVO appearance.

Current owner:  Cory Gehling, Wisconsin (*2007)   

Chassis History/Notes:  Per McCann Racing in February 2019, this car wore #83 when campaigned originally. It carried a number of liveries over the years, but its career began in 2003 SPEED World Challenge GT competition in a livery with yellow on top and black on the bottom of the car. Unfortunately in what is thought to be its debut race at Road America  it was involved in a multi-car accident that damaged a number of the new Competition Coupes. It is believed to have been repaired in time for the October race at Road Atlanta.  For 2004, driver Jim McCann retained the original bodywork and number 83, but the livery was changed to metallic dark blue broken up with white streaks on the side of the car and yellow highlights elsewhere. The car was running an updated shorter exhaust system. This livery remained to begin the 2005 World Challenge season, but the car was updated to the new for that year evolution aero package. By mid season the livery was replaced with one that was entirely yellow other than the rocker panels which were black. 

The final season of competition would see Jim retain number 83, but the car wore a livery similar to that which it debuted with in 2003, however the bottom of the car was now dark blue. From 2007 on the exact competition history with the next owner is unknown, but numerous outings in Vintage Races have occurred. In 2017 the car was shown to appear in the #82 Mike McCann livery circa 2007, but has retained its evolution bodywork. Cory Gehling competed at the 2021 Viper Days Reunion with the car appearing in immaculate condition still wearing the same McCann livery.

Current owner:  Nick Anderson, Missouri (*June 2020)

Chassis History/Notes:  Debuting late in the 2003 SPEED World Challenge GT season with Michael McCann at the wheel, this car competed in a split yellow on top, white on the bottom livery carrying number 82 according to McCann Racing in February 2019. It was unfortunately involved in a multi-car accident at its debut race at Road America which damaged a number of the new Competition Coupes. It would return for the 2004 season in an updated livery with dark metallic blue on top and white on the bottom with fluorescent yellow accents throughout. A shorter exhaust exiting halfway down the rocker panels debuted at this time which would have been in concert with the optional headers released for the VCC program. Mike McCann would earn the World Challenge Rookie of the Year in the car in 2004. 

This was one of the first cars converted to World Challenge specification in 2005 with the new aero package front and rear. The blue on top, white on bottom livery remained to start the 2005 season, but without the yellow accents. Later in the season the livery would change to one of mostly white accented by black stripes beginning on the hood vents and continuing over the roof. 

By 2006 the blue/white livery returned on number 82 and for the 2007 season the car ran under the original yellow/white 2003 livery but the chassis had been painted yellow. Although the car began the 2008 season with McCann Racing, Jeff Altenburg was at the wheel at Sebring. After this its believed the car was sold to Stu Frederick/Horton Motorsports who continued to campaign the car in WC competition, but now as number 57. Initially the car appeared in a white livery with yellow/gray/black longitudinal stripes on all surfaces, but this quickly gave way to a livery that sandwiched white on the center of the car between yellow front and rear. It is said to have sustained heavy damage in 2008 at Mosport in a crash/fire, but was completely restored. 

The history of the car from 2009 through 2015 is unknown at this time.  In 2016 the car was raced in the GT1 class of the US GT Championship series presented by NARRA by the Swiss Micron Team. There it scored 5 pole positions and 5 wins. By 2019 it was powered by a sealed World Challenge spec Gen III engine built by Exotic Engine and Marine. The car has the EMCO sequential box, 4 way "8765" Penske shocks, MoTeC ADL2, carbon dash and cockpit adjustable rear sway bar. Photos show the car wearing NARRA GT1 class designation. The livery consisted of a checkered flag pattern intermixed with green, purple and black accents throughout with a white grille and black rear wing. The car appears to have worn race number 48 at this time. In 2020 the car moved to a new owner who applied a wrap inspired by the factory ORECA GTS-Rs as they ran at Le Mans and in FIA GT events during the 1998-1999 seasons. The car has been competing in NASA TTU class time trial events as of 2021. In 2022 the car received a new camshaft and cylinder head work to increase engine output significantly.

Chassis History/Notes:  This Comp Coupe participated in the Viper Racing League in at least 2004 and 2005. It wore race number 17 on a green livery with dual silver stripes over the top side of the car. Also competing in SPEED World Challenge GT events at Road Atlanta and Laguna Seca in original specification wearing #71. By 2005 the car appeared with the updated, larger rear wing then converted entirely to the new bodywork by the 2006 World Challenge GT season. It appears as though the car remained in the Foster family driven originally by Rob but then by Jason in 2007 wearing number 18 and by Kyle in 2008 under the same number. Though the number and driver changed during these events the car is believed to be chassis 4. Beyond 2008 the car's history has yet to be found.

Chassis History/Notes:  This car is said to be just the second Comp Coupe delivered to a private customer. It was delivered from Evernham Motorsports to Fat Albert's shop in Phoenix for final prep and painting. It was sent there unpainted as the owner wanted black with dual silver stripes, but Dodge only planned to offer the cars in monotone black, blue or red. They did offer to paint another chassis to his configuration and did so, but the car was rejected based on the poor quality of the body panels. The unpainted car that was selected instead also arrived with particularly rough body panels and the shop spent considerable time working them to be show car quality before final painting was completed. 

Frank went on to race the car primarily in the Viper Racing League and at NASA events. It did compete in a single Speed World Challenge GT race at Road America in 2003 with the original owner. It was eventually repainted in a white livery with dual blue stripes before being sold. The car may have been in a wreck and serious fire with the second owner, but this is unconfirmed at this time (2018). Cindi Lux acquired it on trade from Tom Antonelli and she upgraded it with the World Challenge package. It also ran the 8.3/8.4L hybrid engine. She then competed with the car at multiple World Challenge events eventually selling the car to Lance. Currently it has a Gen IV Hybrid engine, EMCO sequential gearbox, Penske shocks, dual master cylinders and 4 channel ABS (2018).

Chassis History/Notes:  Originally this car competed in the Viper Racing League with its first owner wearing race number 337 on a solid blue livery. Later it would gain dual white stripes across the top of the car as its competition career went on. The individual race results from its early life will be added at a later date.  A later owner updated the livery with a central white stripe and wing end plates from the World Challenge wing. The car was posted for sale in 2020 and at the time was said to be powered by an Arrow prepared engine backed by the Tremec T56 and 3.08 rear gear. The following items were updated before it transferred ownership: clutch, axles, brake calipers/rotors/pads, hydraulic fan, power steering pump, splitter, diffuser, windshield, rear lexan glass, plug wires and fuel cell bladder. As of 2021 the car is being used by a new owner at HPDE events across the South Eastern United States. It competed in the Time Trail 1 class at the 2022 Viper Showdown at Indy wearing number 88. The car remains largely in original GT-C configuration, somewhat rare for Comp Coupes of today.

Chassis History/Notes:  This car was ordered by Paul Schley, but delivery was taken by Dan Cragin at DC Performance in California. It was said to have been built with all available options in the first production run which included the upgraded headers and exhaust system. DC Performance was a shop owned by Cragin, Kim Cheney and Tony Parr that specialized in Vipers. The plan was to campaign the car with Erik Messley at the wheel. However, the plan with Mopar backing shifted for DC Performance to instead campaign chassis 25 with driver Samuel Hübinette. Therefore chassis 07 was used for shop marketing appearing at car shows wearing a white and black livery with race number 46. It continued in this role into 2006 before being sold to Canada through John Archer. Many thanks to Kim Cheney for providing this information!

The car finally found its way on track in Canada with new ownership in 2007. It was now wearing an orange livery and was campaigned in various Canadian club races under race number 75. By this point in time an aftermarket rear wing was added. Specific race results have not yet been located, but the car was none to compete during the period of 2007-2009. The car is believed to have suffered damage on track at some point which merited a rebuild. At this pint the chassis was updated to carry the evolution World Challenge aero elements and bodywork. Its mechanical configuration at this time is unknown, but by 2013 a new livery was applied to the updated bodywork. Race number 75 remained but now on a bright yellow livery with black accents.  No other details have been located beyond 2013.

Chassis History/Notes:  This car is believed to have debuted in 2003 in SPEED World Challenge GT in Sonoma with Ritch Marziale behind the wheel. By 2004 it appeared at the Mid Ohio round of the series. The car wore number 56 on a steel blue livery with silver GTS stripes. Per Bob Woodhouse, he purchased this car from Ritch in order to stay in the 2004 SPEED World Challenge GT points battle after his car had been damaged. His first race at the controls was the race following Mid Ohio, round 4 at Sonoma wearing his usual number 13. He would use the car at Portland and Mosport before returning to C47. Leighton Reese would then borrow the car for the Road America round of the series prior to returning to his Corvette for round 9. 

 It is unknown where the car went next following Road America in 2004. It eventually made its way to Switzerland where it appeared in a light green livery with race number 45. The VRL bodywork was updated with a later WC spec wing and a unique hood which included a radiator exhaust duct. The hood was modified locally in Switzerland. The car competed in club racing events, but the specific race results have yet to be located. As of March 2018 it appears in the Swiss Viper Museum in a Viper Red livery with white GTS style stripes.

Chassis History/Notes:  Car was delivered to rising star Paul Mumford in 2003 assumedly in the VRL spec of the first cars. One picture depicts the car still partially in red with some white primer wearing #27. Eventually it was finished in a Venom Red shade with silver, angled GTS stripes that also had a gray inlay pattern wearing #23. Paul was a younger guy who had started in track day events like Viper Days. He made his professional debut at Road America in the Speed GT series which would eventually become the Speed World Challenge Series. Despite it being his first professional race and with a crew of only one (Erik Messley) against factory teams the likes of BMW and Audi, Paul managed to finish in 3rd place after starting in 22nd (ran out of fuel in qualifying). He rolled into his next race again with a crew of one and his single car trailer at Laguna Seca. He managed to qualify 3rd and went on to win the race providing the first race win in professional competition for the VCC! 

Unfortunately, Paul was killed in a small plane crash not long after this race. He appeared to be at the start of a promising career. All accounts say Paul was not only quick, but a genuinely great guy as well, may he rest in peace. Comp Coupe C009 appeared for sale in April 2016 (Viper alley username "Toby") with ad saying the car hadn't been for sale in the prior 10 years and showed 25 hours total run time on its data logger. It still appeared in its race winning livery. 

Eventually the car was sold to France where it competed in vintage races. The car was sold again in France and was being prepared to compete in the Ultimate Cup Series still wearing its original livery and race number. In a cruel twist of fate, the car was involved in a practice accident at Magny-Cours on October 16, 2020 which resulted in the passing of its driver. Daniel Dechaumel was 68 years old and well respected in the racing community, may he rest in peace. Following this unfortunate accident, the whereabouts of the car are unknown.

Chassis History/Notes:  Per Bob Woodhouse, this car was heavily damaged  in a seven car pileup in its first World Challenge race at Road America in 2003. Bob wasn't going to repair it so it was sold to a new owner after transferring all of the good parts to chassis 47. The front clip was removed at the firewall and repaired at the dealership in Blair, Nebraska. All new parts were then used to build up the repaired chassis 10. From this point forward the car wore a black and white dairy cow theme livery. It competed in SPEED World Challenge  GT events under numbers 4 and 74. It appears to have worn its original VRL spec bodywork, but with unique wing stanchions. The exact race results have yet to be located.  As of 2020 the car is listed for sale with photos indicating that it appears as it did circa 2004.  Cory Gehling displayed the car in the paddock at the 2021 Viper Days Reunion.

Chassis History/Notes:  Originally built in the first production run of Comp Coupes, this car competed for years in Viper Racing League events running race numbers 1 and 2. It is believed to have first worn a red livery before transitioning to Plum Crazy. The Plum Crazy livery included stripes reminiscent of those which appeared on the 1970 Plymouth AAR Cuda. Two complete rebuilds following wrecks at NJMP and VIR have seen the car transform into World Challenge spec with the updated bodywork, hybrid engine package and now a completely white livery (2020). 

The car found new ownership in 2022 and is mechanically like a new car after spending time at Complete Performance Motorsports in Sebring, Ohio. There a fresh 8.4L engine was installed and is backed by an Xtrac 6XD sequential gearbox. Updated electronics include a drive by wire throttle system. Chassis modifications permit larger tires covering a larger brake package and include increased driver protection by way of additional intrusion mitigation. The car still rides on Moton 3 way adjustable dampers and retains its World Challenge specification bodywork and aero package.

 For 2022 a new livery has been applied featuring a black camouflage pattern highlight by Mopar graphics outlined in bright yellow. At the Viper Showdown at Indy the car appeared in race 2 wearing number 111 competing in the STU class.

Chassis History/Notes:  This car is believed to have been the first Competition Coupe to have raced in SPEED's World Challenge GT series debuting at Lime Rock in 2003.  It wore race number 02 on a primarily black livery highlighted by red and sliver accents with snake eye headlights. The exact extent of its competition history from 2003-2007 is still being determined. 

It would then become part of the Primetime Racing stable run by Joel Feinberg and Chris Hall in the American Le Mans Series. Primetime may have used this as the primary car for the bulk of their two year effort in ALMS (2007-2009). The car wore gray paint on the chassis and had a black livery with dual white GTS style stripes. Modifications that were made to the car in order to run in the higher GT2 class will be documented in the future.  At some point the car's suspension was damaged on all four corners, but the frame was still intact. The parts were apparently transferred to chassis 114 and this car was left disassembled.  It was included in the purchase of the entire operation by the new owner. As of 2020 the car is undergoing restoration back to its original livery and configuration with Primetime Racing.

Current owner:  Ray Sweers, Indiana (*2013) 

Chassis History/Notes:  C13 is known to have competed in select events in the SPEED World Challenge series beginning in late 2003 with its second owner. There it wore number 77 on a light blue livery with dual silver stripes. Additional events in the series occurred through 2005. Though the livery remained the same, by 2006 the car received the evolution bodywork as it continued to appear in World Challegen into the 2007 season. The specific race results during this period are still being researched. 

The specific history is unknown through the next period of its life. It's said to have competed in NARRA events with Doug Nash.  Alan Sweers then raced in the NASA ST1 class in 2014 and 2015. At this time it appeared to maintain race number 77, but on a silver livery with blue mirrors and wing end plates with a black roof and hood. Today (September 2020) this car remains in nearly original VRL configuration with the exception of a sealed GT1 engine (540 rwhp) that was being used in NASA/NARRA competition in later years and the updated World Challenge spec aero elements. The engine is backed by a Rockzilla T-56 transmission.  It is silver and wears similar American flag graphics as can be viewed on VCC 114 as the cars are part of the same family team. This car can be seen wearing race number 17. In July 2022 the car was made available for sale.

Chassis History/Notes:  Ben Madey of Viper Speed raced this car in the Viper Racing League during 2004-2007. Richard Wesorick then continued to run the car in VRL from 2008-2012. It has run with a solid, light blue livery for a number of years with black wing end plates. During Richard's time with the car it often wore Viper Speed badging on the doors and race number 32. It has most next wore race #48 and remained in a light blue livery. The car is complete and in good running condition in the VRL configuration with two piece brake rotors and M&M headers along with Forgeline wheels. VRL race history has been provided by Richard Wesorick and will be updated in the future. 

A new owner brought the car to the 2021 Viper Days Reunion at Road America. While the mechanical configuration remained the same, Mansen Way adorned the car in a tribute livery to Comp Coupe Prototype 4 when it first appeared in its PVO (Performance Vehicle Operations) livery. This consists of primarily Viper red paint with white decals and number 03 on the quarter panels. Mr. Way went to extreme detail to ensure visual accuracy down to the the color of the rivet heads.

Next owners (year):  ?Gary Bockman, Oregon? (2004) > Ben Keating, Texas (March 2007)  > Peyton Pool, Florida 

Current owner:  Mansen Way, Indiana (*2???) 

Chassis History/Notes:  C18 was first owned by Frank Barba in Pennsylvania. He owned numerous Comp Coupes and it's unknown if he ever turned a lap in competition with this one, but he did have the car painted in a silver livery with bright red along the lower edges of the bodywork. 

It is believed to have been sold to Gary Bockman in Portland, Oregon who contested at least one round of the 2004 SPEED World Challenge GT championship at Portland International Raceway. There the car carried race number 98, but on the livery that Frank had originally applied. No additional race results from this period were located, but Brian Erdman reports that he picked up the car in Portland on behalf of its new owner from Texas, Ben Keating. BJ Motors said in a later classified ad that previous to Keating's ownership the car had been raced exclusively in the Pacific Northwest, but then "In 2006, the owner’s wife demanded it be sold after a collision that damaged the front end."

 In 2007, Keating used the car in the Viper Racing League Michelin Challenge time attack series for five events. The original painted livery was wrapped over with a blue "water" livery and wore Ben's traditional race number 33. Ben owned Comp Coupe C60 simultaneously which wore the same livery, but was a World Challenge specification car allowing the two to be distinguished from the outside. Specific competition results for this period will be added at a later time. 

By 2009 the car was sold to Peyton Pool who raced the car in NARRA (formerly Viper Racing League) under number 25. The car was back in its original livery this season.  The competition history during this period is still to be determined, but eventually the car was sold to its current owner in Indiana, Mansen Way (2023).

Chassis History/Notes:  It is unknown if the original owner of this car ever turned a lap in it, but by 2004 new ownership took to the track competing in Viper Days/Viper Racing League competition. At this point it ran under race number 20 on a solid black livery. C22 would be a regular at VRL events for years to come. By 2006 the livery was updated to appear an orange and black strobe scheme similar to that which appeared on special edition Comp Coupe C59 "Toxic". 

The same pattern remained for 2007 but the orange was changed to bright yellow still carrying race number 20. This livery and original aero configuration remained through approximately the 2011 racing season. 

In 2012, Ben Keating raced the car at Texas World Speedway in NARRA competition to ensure the car was ready to go for its next owner. It maintained the yellow/black livery, but carried Ben's traditional race number 33. With many thanks to Brian Erdman for revealing this piece of the car's history. It was apparently sold the next day. 

It is unclear if the car competed in any capacity from this point after the new owner had taken possession. The last know appearance of this car included a bright orange livery with a black center stripe transitioning to a black roof and decklid. The car wore number 91 at this time, but its competition history and mechanical configuration were unknown, as are its current whereabouts.

Chassis History/Notes:  By 2005 this car was competing regularly in World Challenge under number 56 with the new for that year updated aero elements. At that time it wore a white livery with dual blue stripes that tapered to a point at the splitter. It's unclear if it saw action in its original VRL configuration prior though at some point it did appear at VRL events. The livery and configuration appears to have remained the same for the 2006 World Challenge season before flipping to a red/white version of the same livery for 2007 and 2008. By 2009 the livery had again changed to a monotone light blue with a black hood, still as number 56. 

Following an unknown period of time the car was sold to a new owner. He began competing in NARRA GTU competition wearing a solid blue livery and race number 5. Numerous wins were scored, but then the car was said to have experienced a terrible fire at Virginia International Raceway at a NARRA race in 2012. It was after this that the car was said to have been parted out and the bare chassis allegedly was sold to Canada. It is unclear if the chassis exists today (January 2022).

Chassis History/Notes:  This was the Mopar backed drift car that Samuel Hübinette used to secure the inaugural North American Formula D Drift Championship in 2004 winning three out of four rounds. It always wore Mopar's period livery of barbed wire on white/blue/black colors and race number 25. In 2003 prior to its competition debut Mopar used the car for display purposes at numerous events around the country. It raced in multiple Viper Racing League events early in 2004 before its first drift event. NuFormz Racing in California prepared the car for drifting competition, but only limited modifications were made. These included alteration of the steering components to allow for increased steering angle. Uniquely, a second MoTeC display was installed on the passenger side of the dash. 

After securing the Formula D drifting championship the car would return to Viper Racing League events and would continue to be used for promotional work. DC Performance, also in California, would maintain the car during these events. The car was also said to have been the first Comp Coupe to compete on a drag strip attending Mopars at the Strip in Las Vegas, Nevada on multiple occasions making its first pass in 2004. In 2007 it appeared at the Silver State Classic high speed event scoring a win in the 160 mph class. The car made multiple exhibition appearances at various Viper club events often with Sam Hübinette putting on a smoke show. The car had always been owned by President of the Las Vegas Viper Club Marko Radosavljevic, but by 2011 it was available for sale in Illinois. The current whereabouts of the car are unknown.

Owner Peter Tonelli was behind the wheel with the car wearing the original VRL spec bodywork on a monotone red livery with dual silver stripes on top carrying race number 88. The car would run a partial season schedule. By round two at Lime Rock it was driven by future IMSA Prototype Champion Eric Curran. Showing a glimpse of his growing skills, Eric started from 28th position and finished all the way up in 8th place. By the Laguna Seca event later in the season it appeared the same except now had the updated rear wing. The rest of this car's history has yet to be uncovered, but by 2019 it is believed to have remained with its original owner. By this point the front aero had been updated to the 2005+ WC spec though most of the original livery and race number remained.

Next owners (year):  None

Current owner:  Michael Greenberg, California

Chassis History/Notes:  Originally this car competed in the Viper Racing League wearing number 04 on a solid black livery with gold accents beginning in 2004.  It remained this way and in its original VRL mechanical configuration for 2005 VRL competition before receiving the updated aero package for 2006. It was during this year that the car competed in a single SPEED World Challenge GT event at Road America. There it competed under number 04 and its black livery had received further gold accents in the form of side mirrors and a gold center band on the hood and roof. Michael Greenberg earned the race's Sunoco Hard Charger award by gaining eleven places during the race. The car would continue to race in VRL competition before this gave way to North American Road Racing Association events. It remains with the original owner today (2021) in this livery. Its current mechanical configuration is unknown. The car scored numerous race and championship wins in VRL, the specifics of which will be added as time permits.

Current owner:  Jon Stuedeman, Southern Michigan (*2018) 

Chassis History/Notes:  Originally competed in the Viper Racing League wearing number 39 on a Viper blue livery with dual, tapered silver stripes on top and a black wing. Its competition history beyond 2008 is unknown but this point the car had received the 2005+ WC rear wing. It is believed to have been maintained by Archer Racing along the way for competition in NARRA events. As of 2016 the car remained in this configuration but was said to have a fresh motor with high flow heads done by Tim Jelly. It has a TR6060 transmission. 

The car competed in the Time Trial class at the 2021 Viper Days Reunion with Jon Stuedeman. It has maintained the blue livery with tapered silver stripes, but has received numerous mechanical upgrades. These include Gen IV heads with Drag Pak intake manifold, MoTeC digital dash, a larger front brake rotor/caliper package and a rare intermediate Dodge Motorsports rear wing with custom end plates. This wing is similar in profile to the original VRL/GTC wing, but is slightly wider and longer.

First owner:  Pieter DuBois - US Carworld Racing, Netherlands (Oct 2003) 

Next owners (year):  Hans Ambaum, Netherlands (2006)

Current owner:  Manfred Sattler, Germany (*2008)

Chassis History/Notes:  This was the first Competition Coupe to arrive in Europe. US Carworld Racing in the Netherlands took delivery and shook the car down at Zolder in February 2004. Their competition debut came at the Nürburgring in the Dutch Supercar Challenge. Wearing a primarily white livery that transitioned to dark blue on the back half the car with number 15, the team won their first race and finished in third during the second race of the event - an incredible beginning for a new platform in European racing.

C41 took another class win on debut in the Belcar Championship at Spa in a four hour race. It returned a couple months later to tackle the 24 Hours of Spa, an ambitious test for a car originally designed for sprint spec racing. Unfortunately the engine expired in the second half of the race after reportedly being over revved on multiple occasions. The Viper had completed 323 laps to this point.

US Carworld raced a full season of the Dutch Supercar Challenge in 2005. The car remained largely the same, but ran with a larger rear wing and accompanying splitter. Pieter DuBois and Rene Wijnen had a dominant season securing the championship in the GT class, the first for Competition Coupe on foreign shores!  

They would sell the car to Hans Ambaum who then became their competition during the 2006 Dutch Supercar Challenge series. The mechanical configuration remained the same as did the basic livery aside from the hood and roof going red with stars added over the blue quarter panels. Racing under number 111, Hans may have made US Carworld regret their switch to a Corvette as he managed to win the championship, a second consecutive title for chassis 41. The car was listed for sale at season's end. 

What is believed to be the next owner in Germany competed with the car in the ADAC GT Masters series for a number of years. There the car was campaigned by Vulkan Racing/Mintgen Motorsport. This period is still under investigation and will be updated in the future.

Chassis History/Notes:  Car was listed for sale in May 2004 and was said to have competed in World Challenge, Viper Racing League and SCCA SPO class competition. It debuted in World Challenge competition at the 2003 Road Atlanta race during which the car wore a red livery with a yellow "Fangs" logo on the hood with yellow stripe and black fascia and rocker panels. The car ran race number 51.  It is believed to have spent time with a new owner during 2005-2007 before being sold to Lala Motorsports in 2008. From 2008-2009 the car likely competed again in World Challenge competition, but this has yet to be confirmed.

Next owners (year):  Stan Wilson (2004) > Scotty B. White (200?) > TMN Motorsports/Nate Stokey (2012)

Current owner:  Matt McCarron, Minnesota (*201?) 

Chassis History/Notes:  Kenny Hawkins sold this car while it was still in new condition to Stan Wilson. He competed with the car in SPEED World Challenge GT competition under a red and white Dodge Motorsports livery wearing number 92 during the 2004 season. The car was still in its original mechanical configuration at this point.  Cindi Lux believes Scotty White ran this car in World Challenge in 2007. Scotty competed under number 3 as part of the Lux Performance team with backing from Dodge. The cars wore a primarily white livery with blue and red slashes on multiple panels. They wore the updated WC aero package at this point. 

The history of the car is unknown until 2012 when it was purchased by TMN Motorsports and supported by Archer Racing. It went to compete in NARRA GT1 events in 2013 as well as various enduro races including PBOC Winterfest at Sebring. Here it wore a red livery with dual black longitudinal stripes over the top of the car. It competed under numbers 49 and 92. Nate Stokey drove the car, but shared with Competition Coupe development driver Tommy Archer on some occasions.  

As of 2020 the car still exists in a red livery with dual black longitudinal stripes over the top of the car. The 2005+ aero remains in place and the car is believed to have last competed in NARRA GT1 specification with the 8.3L engine and T56 transmission. When the car appeared at the 2021 Viper Days Reunion at Road America it was competing in the Time Trial group now with an updated Gen III engine package from Nth Moto backed by a Hollinger sequential gearbox. The red/black livery has remained in place and the car still carries race number 92.

First owner:  Bob Woodhouse, Nebraska (*2003)   

Next owners (year):  None

Current owner:  Bob Woodhouse, Texas

Chassis History/Notes:  This car was used to replace the original chassis on Bob Woodhouse's VCC C10 which was heavily damaged in an accident on debut at Road America in 2003. The good parts from C10 were transferred to this car. It possibly has accrued more race starts than any other VCC with many coming in the various iterations of the World Challenge Series. Racing under Bob's number 13, the car has most often worn its iconic Woodhouse Automotive livery of metallic purple/blue highlighted by yellow/orange flaming stripes on both the sides and top of the car. While it originally competed in 2003 in VRL specification it would later be updated to the 2005 evolution bodywork. 

It made a one off appearance in the American Le Mans Series when in 2007 it competed in the GT2 class at Mid Ohio. The car was not developed for this series and the outing was used as somewhat of a test to generate interest in Viper. The car wasn't homologated for GT2 competition, but the series allowed them to compete anyway. Unfortunately the team encountered power steering troubles in the race. Extensive modifications have been completed over the years, the exact nature of which need to be recorded.

 This car received direct support from Dodge Motorsports during 2008-2010 and visited the Chrysler wind tunnel for development work three times. In later seasons of World Challenge competition the car was piloted by numerous drivers, including Tommy Archer, Kasey Kahne,  Kuno Wittmer, Jeff Courtney, Jeff Altenburg, Claudio Burtin, Brian Smith and Charles Putnam while still retaining its Woodhouse livery and normally number 13. Though on at least one occasion in 2007 at Charlotte the car ran under Kahne's NASCAR number 9. In 2010 the car wore a blue livery with dual white stripes on race number 99 with Jeff Courtney driving.  

As of 2020 the car still exists in its iconic livery and visits the track occasionally for fun with Bob at the wheel. It appeared at the 2021 Viper Days Reunion at Road America to compete in both the Race and Time Trial classes. Bob would be piloting the car in the race group with Mike Kirsch at the controls in time trial competition. The car was now wearing what is arguably the most aggressive aero package ever fitted to a Comp Coupe complete with a swan neck wing accented by an enlarged diffuser and balance at the front of the car by an extended splitter. These modifications only added mystique to what many consider to be the most recognizable Comp Coupe in existence. It competed at the Brickyard during the 2022 Viper Showdown at Indy. There the car competed in both the race and time trial groups driven by Mike Kirsch and Bob Woodhouse respectively.

Current owner:  Mark Schumann, Wisconsin (*2021)  

Chassis History/Notes:  Tommy Archer drove this car with 3R Racing to secure the 2004 SPEED World Challenge GT Championship. During that season the car wore number 22 on a blue livery with a bright yellow stripe on the hood, roof, mirrors and rear wing. The car had the original VRL spec bodywork but had extended wing end plates at some events. In 2005 it was driven by Phil McClure in SPEED World Challenge GT with 3R Racing. The car then wore the updated WC bodywork  with a blue livery broken up by wide, white stripes on the hood, roof and doors with race number 2. 

In 2006 the car remained with 3R Racing in World Challenge competition, but was then driven by Skip Sauls wearing number 96 on an orange and white livery. Cindi Lux then acquired C48 and ran it in World Challenge GT during the 2007 through 2009 seasons with backing from Chrysler Canada at first and then Mopar who picked her up to be a factory driver for the 2008 season. In 2007 it was run as a team car to Scotty White. It was sold at some point after 2009. It looks as though this car was run by Tom Antonelli in NARRA GTX class wearing a white livery with blue GTS style stripes and the upgraded aero package. At the time the car was maintained by Complete Performance Motorspor2004ts in Sebring, Ohio and in May of 2019 it was sold to Gus Pablecas. The car found new ownership by late 2021.
