Welcome to the VOA’s Spirit of Viper

Spirit of Viper is a project created to honor, educate, and connect people who designed, built and had significance to the outcome of one of the best muscle cars on the planet. We honor those whose significant contributions impacted the creation and continuation of Viper from 1992 to 2017. The biographies and history collected are to educate current and future Viper owners. The connection to the car and the people will allow the “Spirit” to continue long into the future.

Enjoy learning more about the people, who they are, where they came from, and how Viper impacted their lives.

“Viper was the last great automotive development program in automotive history.  A program that could have been killed at any moment except for the stewardship of Bob Lutz, Tom Gale, Francois Castaing, and Carroll Shelby with the great leadership of Roy Sjoberg and a passionate team.  A passion that infected millions in the automotive world then and now.”  –Brian Willey
