    Dodge Viper stereotypes and sayings

    I regularly visit a number of other discussion forums to keep current including several viper forums, several mustang forums, the hellcat forum, and a couple of corvette forums. Sadly, the decorum is generally dreadful and I do not remember it being that way 20 years ago. I do my best to...

    R.I.P. Gary Lashinsky

    I was fortunate to spend many weekends with Gary at different Viper Days events around the country. He was a great friend, a leader, and a true gentleman Viper pilot.

    New Member 1996 Viper GTS

    That's amazing. The last thing I would do is take it to a dealer for service. Contact FCA corporate, probably Ralph Gilles. Your car could be worth a fortune.

    No communication for emission test

    Common if you haven't driven your car frequently. Same thing happened on my 02 RT10. Drove it 50 miles and took it back to emissions where it passed with flying colors.

    2000 GTS tire options ?????

    I run them on my 99 RT10 on the factory original wheels. Got a great deal from Jon B. at Parts Rack delivered to my front door. I chose to go with the 295 rather thn the 275 up front. I keep them highly inflated (38 PSI) to help clear the speed humps in my neighborhood. Very good experience...

    1996 GTS on E-Bay with only 3,800 Miles, $59.9K, Good Deal?

    This is what I considered a great collector car deal for the buyer at Barrett Jackson a week ago (sold for $50K):

    1996 GTS on E-Bay with only 3,800 Miles, $59.9K, Good Deal?

    Maybe a nice car but not a great deal or even a good deal. Not even close to a bargain purchase. Come on guys, 45-50 tops is where you want to be as a buyer.
  18. Frank Parise

    Barrett-Jackson !! Never sell your car there.!!

    AMAZING DEAL FOR BUYER: SOLD FOR $50,000.

    Am I Viper Candidate

    Butch, it sounds like you've discovered the GEN 2 Viper was built 1996 - 2002. It's my personal favorite from a styling standpoint and that's why I still own one. The convertible version is called RT10. The coupe version is called GTS. They are very different body styles so you need to spend...

    Am I Viper Candidate

    I am in you age group. I've owned many Vettes from the 60's and 70's including 427 and 454 big blocks. You will love a Gen 2 Viper, either GTS or RT10. My 62 Vette drove like a tank. The Viper is an exceptionally well-handling sports car but the accelerator pedal must be respected whenever...

    Used Dodge Viper GTS 2001 - Inspection Inquiry

    Malik, I love your enthusiasm but I suggest you slow down and be patient. Lots of swiss-cheese frames on otherwise great looking cars. Hopefully the one you have identified is the rare cream puff.

    Used Dodge Viper GTS 2001 - Inspection Inquiry

    Great color combination but I would absolutely have a Viper specialist perform the inspection. If that is a Louisiana car I would be major league worried about frame/rust.

    Changing Fluids

    Absolutely. If you do not have service records from the previous owner, I would highly recommend changing all fluids including tranny, diff, brakes, clutch, radiator, power steering. You were absolutely right to change the tires as well as engine oil and filter. Take a look at your air...

    SMOGGING---

    Several years ago the same thing happened to me when I brought my rarely driven 02 RT10 in for emissions. They were not getting a reading. So, i took it on a 50-mile drive, then came back and passed the test.
