I understand that there were about 50....

There was a Black RT 10/CS with Gold Stripes on Ebay a while back, the owner said there were 50 built. I thick it was all cosmetic, but could be wrong.

 

I looked into buying one of the 97 SC's new. They were an exclusive project of Fitzgerald Motorsports of Laconia NH. Dan Fitzgerald is a good friend of CS. The info I received on the 97 model's stated only 25 to be built for the 97 year. They could be ordered with two seperate performance package's. The ordered Stage One package came equipped with:
3:73 rear axle with speedo box
18'' custom wheel's and tire's
Free flow exhaust
K&N air cleaner's and Hi-Po plug wire's
5 point safety harness on both seat's
Custom floor mat's
Custom side vent's
High performance computer
Fitzgerald Motorsports styling package
Venzano custom signature Red/Gold seat's
List price for the Stage One package - $89,900 Plus luxury tax.
Horse power rating for the Stage One package was 480 rwhp.
Stage Two package was a Hennessey Venom 600 conversion
that was to be done by Hennessey's shop in Texas.
The cost of the Hennessey Stage Two conversion was an additional
$29,500 on top of the $89,000 Stage One package.
All car's came with a photo log of production plus a letter of
authenticity signed by CS and Dan Fitzgerald.
I was told that two 97 Blue and White SC's were built aswell.
The projeceted total production of 25 97 SC's was not met.
Not sure of the total 97 production built but would guess about half
if that were ever built.
I have seen four 97's the past ten year's and one was a Blue&White
for sale in CA. around 2000 by a used car dealer.
The 95 & 96 RT/10 was to be a limited production of 50 but again
this projected number was not met.
All of these Fitzgerald conversion's were available on the Viper factory painted color's and came with the full factory warranty with the Stage One package. Have never seen nor heard of a Hennessey Stage Two package
ever being built on one of these package's.
I have much more info on these Fitzgerald package's stored away including some pic's of the differant year's available.
HTH.

 

Re: Fantastic information. I sincerely appreciate your....

If I recall right 1995 was the first year for the CS conversion on the RT/10. I believe the project ran through the 1997 model year. Fitzgerald Motorsports also offered in house performance upgrades on Vipers aswell. They were offered as Fitzgerald Motorsports Snakes. A "FITZGERALD MOTORSPORTS SNAKE *** decal was applied to the front bottom of the fender with the HP upgrade following SNAKE. Dan Fitzgerald was retiring last I heard and was closing his dealership down. You may want to try and contact him while he is still around and see if he can answer your?? regarding the CS project. I have spoken with Dan in the past and he love's talking CS car's. Both vintage and the newer muscle. His phone# is 603-524-2311 est. HTH.

 

I have a brochure!

 

Lemme see if I can post a scan of it. That would be easier than trying to describe it.
