    I'm back and on the hunt for a GTS...

    I agree. Some people selling Vipers as "MINT" must have a different definition of "MINT" than I do. If you think Vipers are all over the place look up GT500's... about a 20-30K gap in prices between the EXACT same car for sale. Its funny to look at. I found a $95,000 13 GT500 for sale (25k...

    I'm not sure. I imagine there should be since there are so many Android users.

    Flip-up style stereo unit

    Was going to be one of my next mods. Don't go cheap on these, but $800 will get you a name brand with all the bells and whistles. If you get the one with the Iphone app controls built in you can control your Iphone apps from your head unit so having NAV isn't much of a concern.

    I'm back and on the hunt for a GTS...

    I've seen them go for around $35k with 30K or more miles... sure you could find them that cheap with 20k TRACK miles. A nice viper under $35k just ISN'T realistic. They have problems or hidden problems, need tires, or some other expensive fix. Only Viper GTS's I've seen sell for 33k or...

    Kelly Blue Books Value of Vipers.. whats their deal and why are they so stupid?

    Anyone looked at the Kelly Blue Book listed Value of our Vipers? What is their deal? They list a 1994 5k mileage Mint Viper at only 20k selling to a private party? A 1997 Viper GTS with 5k miles worth 31k to a private party? A 1996 Viper GTS with 5k miles worth 30k? I wrote them about...

    Gen II and Gen III/IV Comparison

    Owned both the GEN II GTS and the GEN III GTS. If your looking for more comfort or room its the GEN III, but the GEN II GTS to is by far the best looking Viper EVER made... Period. But all Vipers look awesome. Hardest part is picking which style of Viper you want. And if your going to...

    Sumner driving in viper AZ

    I have a GEN II GTS. Live in Hereford, AZ and I drive in the summer wo/problems. AC blows cold. You'll be fine if you replace the stock cats with highflows are no cats since it keeps the cabin cooler and keeps the heat out of the door sills.

    Anyone selling their GTS?

    Mines on Ebay now. Can't miss it. BUT 35k isn't going to buy a mint GTS... high mileage one yes.

    Vipers and Haters

    I sold my Z06 for a Viper because I wanted something not seen as much. I like both cars and like all cars. If you hate any car your really not a real car guy but a 'tool' who buys cars for a status symbol.

    Is 1500 rpm ok for cruising in 6th gear?

    The Viper has one of the highest low end TQ at super low RPMs. Its made to lug around at low rpm's. If your not.. then your just wasting gas. You'll know if your RPM's are too low for a speed. Your car will buck and bog.

    Are Viper guys true MOPAR fans or just a specialized sect?

    A lot of Shelby fans will own Vipers because Carol Shelby helped design it.

    Asking vs Getting

    I paid 38k for a mint 97 GTS with 19k miles. It had all recalls, power steering mod (so your new toy won't go up into flames), new tires, headers, X pipe with hi flo cats (So you don't fry on the stove door sills), short throw shifter, and intake. There are deals out there, but the are RARE...

    Can't decide which exhaust system

    Quality and looks of the B&B exhaust is 2nd to NONE. I personally dont' like how the Borla kit looks coming out of the rear of the GTS compared to B&B. Some kits instead of the exhaust coming straight out of the rear actually angle up too much... making it look silly. Now for deciding a kit...

    Question on stock shift knob.

    Well.. it will work, but the shift numbers will be facing the wrong way (Up side down). I tried to put my Old 04 Shifter in my 97 GTS and was upside down when tightened. Some aftermarket 03+ shifters knobs would work if they have a screw/bolt to tighten the shifter knob in any position.

    Viper Disrespect..

    Clarkson loved the Viper as well. His first review of the Viper back in 1994 was a great review. Also the American Top Gear started out bad, but it actually isn't too bad after the 1st season. They have some good episodes. They had a great response to the European Reviews about them...

    Anyone own/owned a GTR?

    GTR is great.... BUT Do some research on the parts and labor.... /bendover and take it. It makes the Viper look like an econobox. 15k for brakes. 20K plus for a new tranny. IMPORT CRAP. Worse than Porsche maintenance. Once you lose the warranty is /wave at your money. Cause its...

    My Viper Rant

    +1 Bash the Viper all they want. The 'So Called' Automotive Experts in the magazines need to be PUT IN THEIR beloved PORSCHES and SMASHED WITH THEM IN A Junk yard CAR COMPACTOR!! Porsches are the MOST BLAND CAR ever created and the MT and R & T thinks the car is the best thing since sliced...

    Side by Side Photos - Gen 5 & C7

    I think its just because it the newest thing... must have the newest. Give it a year. "Its just a Stingray...." (Compared to the new Z06... the Stingray will be OLD news and the lower version... Patience.) The Viper on the otherhand... all Vipers across all years still look great and...

    Side by Side Photos - Gen 5 & C7

    Viper is better looking from EVERY angle. Ferrari copy? Looks great, but Ferrari may be a bit upset they stole their car.

    Taking delivery on my '01 ACR tomorrow (traded for my '08 coupe)

    +1 Gen 2 ACR is one of the sexiest Vipers ever made. I've been looking at these years ACR's as well for a long time, and this is the FIRST one I've seen without the radio and A/C option.

    Surprised no one ever made 17" 5 spoke replicas in a larger size?

    Think the problem lies in the quality of the Factory 96-98 17" wheels. They break easily under track conditions. They would have to remake the wheel in aftermarket. Enlarging an already weak wheels would just compound the problem.

    Should unavailable parts discourage me from buying a Viper?

    There isn't a Viper part I can think of that you can't buy. With the amount of totaled Vipers and the aftermarket of the Viper all the parts are out there just an internet search away.

    Fastest cars at the Ring you can buy in America

    All the magazines are biased against the Viper. Notice all the tests are now "BEST DRIVERS CAR." Which means total BS since they don't grade on performance anymore. I like the last one which the Viper was LAST even though it had the FASTEST lap times. They do this so the G&y Porshes can win...

    New Owner.. Truly my dream come true!

    Congrats. Keep us posted on how the build progresses. Is the hood damaged bad? That would be the most espensive thing to fix.
