The 2008-2010 Gen III and later Vipers use a different brake system requiring separate part numbers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the front brake system on the 1992-2002 Viper power-assisted?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The first-generation Viper did include a brake booster on most configurations, though the braking feel is more direct than many other sports cars of the era.
