Hello,
Can the trip computer be added to cars without it?

Thanks

Generally yes. I did with my 1996 Celebration. The wiring was all there. I just had to get the right veneer piece to make it look right.

What car Viper?
They vary. The 3.6 has the wiring plug for it even if it has the analogue clock fitted. The V12 may need a tranducer also. The wood panel will also need changing and achieving a good result may be difficult.

Personally, I think the green led display is a poor match to the rest of the instrumentation and it's a bit of a novelty that gets ignored fairly quickly so I prefer the clock, but each to their own. :)

It looks a good deal better in the face-lift variant.
