No googling here, I had a Viper history book that I received as a B day present a while back and read it cover to cover about 5000 times when I was in the service.
Guess reading pays off

#7) The body panels are made of a plastic and fiberglass material that is is formed in a (RTM) resin transfer mold where the glass is injected with resin in a closed mold in order to form the part. All of you were mostly right.
#8) 1992
I will have to come up with harder questions , all the other answers were correct.
I thought that the first model year was a 92 but hit the show in 91.
In 91 they were still putting in the finishing touches. It was in fact the 92 show, and it barley made that. Since the feeling of being rushed with the Gen 1's, that birthed the idea that carried out the lighter, faster Gen 2's.
OK , in 03 they made the 2nd most Vipers ever in one year,1875 units , what year did Dodge produce the most Vipers ever in one year production run?
