this is #5, and about 25 years ago, #16 was in the San Diego Auto Museum for about a year.
18 1995/1996 RTs were built (16 white with blue stripes, 1 blue white stripes, 1 black with gold emblem on the hood) and one 1997 GTS Shelby S/C (Street Competition) which was red with gold stripes.
Modifications were a fresh air intake and better exhaust, plus a remapped ECU, helped bump power to around 500 Hp from the stock 415.
The car was also fitted with a 3.73:1 rear axle ratio in place of the stock 3.07:1 unit, along with racing harnesses for some extra safety.

stock vipers are kinda insane in their own right... Still can't get over this wheel gap, ugh!
