    Gen 2 vs. Gen 5 GTS

    I have a Gen 2 RT/10. Very comfortable car to drive (yes, a dead pedal would be a welcome addition) and it attracts a lot of attention from others. I know Vipers are difficult to find, but sitting in both, and more importantly, driving both, might help you decide. For me, the raw, basic appeal...

    Insurance Question for the Group:

    ^^^Agree with Reguy. I have an '02 RT/10 with Haggerty with a $60,000 agreed value and between 100,000 and 300,000 coverage depending on issues. I'm at $1400 annually for payments. Location matters (lots of accidents here in Greenville, SC) but I'm still way high compared with the $500 annual...

    Engine Cooling Fan Upgrade?

    Do you track your car or is this for general cooling? Curious. I'm thinking about getting the setup to help with AC.

    Engine Cooling Fan Upgrade?

    Had a mechanic install a new condenser that I purchased from AC Auto Solutions (https://autoacsolutions.com/products/). He wasn't impressed with how it was made. Not being a mechanic I'm not sure exactly what he meant other than he thought it wasn't a "modern" style condenser considering it was...

    smooth tubes

    I have the Roe polished aluminum smooth tubes on my Viper. Here is an interesting article about them but I'm sure it applies to all smooth tubes with the proper bend. https://motoiq.com/project-viper-gts-part-4-baseline-dyno-and-kn-intake-test/3/

    MD New Viper Owner

    Congrats on the Viper! I use Hagerty Insurance with an agreed value. You'll likely get several more recommendations on insurance carriers from others.

    Looking for A/C Condenser 4708206

    Did you install it yet? If so, do you recommend it ? Noticed it doesn't list 2002 but that must be a mistake on their part.

    Indianapolis area Viper maintenance...

    1994 Spins over but won't crank

    You'll probably get a response soon, but it's best to ask this type of question on the RT/10 and GTS forum here. https://www.viperclub.org/vca/forums/rt-10-and-gts-discussions.168/

    Plugs and wires

    Are new OEM wires still available? Probably my first choice but can't find them. Will Quality Wires fit the cable separators?

    Insurance question

    I use Hagerty for my 02 RT/10. An agreed value of $60,000. About $1300 annually for insurance. I've heard good things about Erie Insurance, but I can't get that in South Carolina. Remember (you probably know) that insurance prices vary as per your driving record, age, gender, etc. Also, the area...

    Battery tender and mounting it inside engine bay

    Ran mine from the battery behind the rear wheel (Gen 2) out the bottom cover. No drilling required as there is a convenient opening.

    High flow cats vs other exhaust input

    You could look into Heatshield Armor. That's what I did on my Gen 2 along with hi-flow cats. The sound is perfect for me and the heat issue has been abated. The cats were not wrapped. Mechanic said it's best not to.

    High flow cats vs other exhaust input

    I have hi-flow cats on my '02 Viper. No drone and, like a fine wine, they get better (a little louder) over time. For me, it's the perfect subtle sound of power. Not too loud and definitely not stock, which was way too mellow for a Viper.

    I want to change the power steering fluid and clutch/brake fluid. What is best and how much will I need? Also doing the rear with Mopar 68218657AA 75w140 plus Mopar 4318060AB Limited Slip Additive.

    Viper Red Paint

    Any good body shop should be able to match the paint. I had minor body damage to my red Viper. Body shop matched the paint perfectly both times I had it in the shop.
