    opinions needed on current 96 vs 02

    Thanks for the replies so far. Good guess on the brakes but no locking up - yet. The brakes are stock but if I was going to keep the car long term, an upgrade would be a consideration. The reasons for wanting a change: - lower mile car - color - ABS - nicer interior (I know only subtle changes)...

    opinions needed on current 96 vs 02

    I currently have a modded 96 GTS and am interested in moving up to an 02 only. My interest is trying to determine a realistic value for the car vs what it is going to cost for a similarly modded 02. I have approx 60k including purchase price into it (bought in 07 with 62k mi). knowing that it...

    2 Vipers at local car show

    Happened to run into another Viper owner at car show we have in town here once a month. First one I have seen here besides mine. Had the Hennessey Venom 550 badging but check out the spelling in the pics. The blonde was driving.

    96 blue GTS paint question

    I noticed on both sides of the car that there is a slight shade color difference between the rear quarter panel and the door, especially on the lower portion. A search on goggle images showed some that seem to be the same but I wanted to here from actual owners if this is normal or the same way.

    Mecedo Motorsports

    Sorry if this old news, but is Larry still in business? I have done a search and tried several numbers to no avail. If he is not, can some one recommend a shop in the Daytona Beach Fl area? I have used Daytona Dodge in the past with good results but their rates are high. Thanks

    spark plug wire holder question

    These holders were on the car when I bought it, they thread onto a stud attached to the valve cover. I broke a few and need to replace them. Already did a search, checked Jegs and Summit-nothing. Anyone recognize these and knows who sells them? Thanks.

    Question for those who have removed their fog light covers

    I removed mine to polish and clean the debris behind the cover. Like the look better without and was wondering if anyone has used something to cover up the factory clip holes in the fascia that does not look tacky? The bumper was repainted a few months ago so having them filled and doing a...

    Ball Joint Issues

    I'm not sure about the rears but you can check the fronts easily to verify the shops diagnoses. Lift each wheel several inches off the ground and grab the tire at 12 and 6. Rock the tire with a good amount of force and see if you can feel any movement. This assumes, of course, that your...

    wiper mounting question

    Tried a search but nothing came up specific to my question. On my 96 GTS, when mounting the wiper arm to the splines, it seems that it won't press fit until the nut is tightened down. Once the nut is secured, the stud, nut, and arm move in unison and there is approx 1/4" play when tightened. Is...

    anyone need a 97 GTS engine?

    It has never been dyno'ed in it's current configuration. When it was in the car it had a Roe 8lb, Arrow 1.7 roller rockers and with a very conservative tune made 584 rwhp, 614 tq. I'm not sure what makes the heads stage II, I would have to contact Greg. They were on the engine when I bought the car.

    sill insulation

    I am in the process of having mine painted. I decided to try por-20 1400 degree coating on the inside of the sill and then apply Thermotec 2000 degree blankets over the coating. Tator suggested that because I live in Florida with all the rain we have (car is a DD) I should not use the sill...

    side sill soda blasting
