    96 B/W @ Premier Motors

    I've looked at over 40 autocheck reports and I can't figure out the logic behind their scoring system. :( The only blue item (as opposed to green checkmark) was the emissions inspections (passed). I don't know if/why that would affect the rating.

    Speeding ticket poll

    The condone vs. condemn discussion aside, the real question was about what color car you were driving when you were stopped. I was attempting a non-scientific poll to see if certain colored vehicles received a higher number of tickets. I am not advocating speeding, even though I (and you and...

    96 B/W @ Premier Motors

    The autocheck report is clean. Reports a calculated 2 owners and assigns a score of 76 with similar vehicles ranging from 75 to 91. HTH, Mark

    Speeding ticket poll

    The key question was the color of the car you were driving. The speed was the optional part. BTW Phil, I got stopped for 86 in a 65 (I-80) and had it reduced to 75, which they said was 2 points. Sadly when it gets back to Pa it will be 3 points. I was driving a white Charger (rental) so it...

    Speeding ticket poll

    If you have ever been stopped for speeding in your snake, indicate the color of the car and, optionally, how many miles over the speed limit you were going. You can participate whether or not you actually received a ticket.

    Viper in Glen Ellyn, IL

    I am interested in a viper in Glen Ellyn. I was going to contact Carchex, but in searching this forum, someone suggested asking a Viper owner vs. a generic vendor. Anyone in that area willing to do a check for me? Drop me a PM and let me know. I'm open to some $$ to pay for your time...

    Are the gen2's too affordable now ?

    Tony, thanks for posting this. Reading the thread I began thinking I was too inferior to be a Viper owner. I'm not sure of some people's definition of "car guy", but I don't think you have to be mechanically inclined. I wouldn't know a catalytic converter from a fuel pump. That doesn't mean I...

    2002 Final Edition GTS

    I'm on feviper.com and theviperregistry.org and dodgeviperhistoricalsociety.com daily. It's interesting when the eBay, cars.com, etc listings say "very rare" or "1 of xx" and then you go check these sites and find they are wrong. I have a list of 12 websites that sell used cars that I check...

    2002 Final Edition GTS

    There were 458 Red GTSs in 2002, of which 360 were FEs. Of the 360, only 34 were ACRs. There are several FEs for sale, including a few on this site (classifieds). The problem I have is that so many people have made small mods that I don't know what is stock and what isn't. I'm really jealous...

    2002 Final Edition GTS

    Can someone tell me if the 2002 FE is supposed to have white lettering on the back? I don't see it on some others.

    Dodge Viper ACR Hill Climb Vid

    Yeah, that splattered bug? was there from the start of the run. I would expect something like that from a personal video, but not from C&D. :dunno:

    2002 Final Edition GTS

    I had cruise control on my 1992 Saturn, which was a 5-speed manual. The cruise would disengage if you pressed the clutch. BTW, with only 127HP, I had that up to 130MPH before the fuel shutoff kicked in. That was a fast 4-cylinder.

    2002 Final Edition GTS

    According to the free autocheck report included in the eBay listing (currently active), it shows 3 calculated owners. Here is the info from Lubbock. 03/08/2006 LUBBOCK, TX Motor Vehicle Dept. REGISTRATION EVENT/RENEWAL 03/16/2006 LUBBOCK, TX 21,315 Motor Vehicle Dept. TITLE (Title...

    2002 Final Edition GTS

    I just received a call from Collector Motors in Houston. The mechanic has determined that the entire car was repainted by a previous owner. He doesn't find any indication of accidents, but suspects it was to address little issues (dings, etc) and they couldn't find a good blending point. They...

    2002 Final Edition GTS

    This is back on eBay again. I just talked to Alexis there about the paint. She is having her "paint guy" check it out. She said she has seen it both ways (painted all the way and not). Does anyone have an FE where the paint goes all the way down the front? The best picture to see theirs is...

    new guy and 99 Viper GTS in VA

    To nit-pick one statement on the website ("Only 36 made in black with the ACR package"). According to the International Viper Registry, 73 were made black in 2000, 39 solid and 34 w/ stripes. I'm picky about claims of exclusivity. The dealer plate appears to have expired back in Jan. If it...

    2002 Final Edition GTS

    The one with 5200 miles was already sold. I was bummed I just missed it. The one in Houston has 24K miles and apparently was repainted. I understand your point about what I think being important, but I need, and respect, the input from the experts here. I would not have realized the Houston...

    2002 Final Edition GTS

    Hmm, here is a pic from another car that shows a black "guard". A couple people here own '02 FE's so we should be able to get a definitive answer.

    2002 Final Edition GTS

    Is there anyone in the Houston area willing to check this car out for me? It is at Collector Motors. They seem to only do appointments. PM me and I'll supply the person's contact info. Thanks.

    2002 Final Edition GTS

    Any comments on the '02 FE GTS? I can't believe I just missed this one: Details of Used 2002 Dodge Viper, Naperville, IL - Yahoo! Autos I have received some PMs about the '95 and '96 models I was considering, so now I'm looking at the FE GTS. Would appreciate thoughts from others.

    Outdated classifieds

    How can we get the classifieds cleaned up? I've called about a few of the Vipers for sale and they were sold quite a while ago. Some of the listings are from 2009. Is there a way to flag them when I find out the car is no longer available? :dunno:

    Advice on 95 vs 96

    Is there a quantifiable premium for a "last 300 side exhaust" car? Can I safely assume that VINs within 300 of the last VIN fall into this category? The only one I've seen with this designation in the listing is a green, but I have seen some reds with high VIN numbers.

    Advice on 95 vs 96

    I checked out both cars yesterday, but Brian's wouldn't let me drive due to insurance policy. I don't remember the guy's name who actually drove (not the sales guy), but he cranked it up to 100 MPH three times. He was showing me the power. After I left, I got to thinking that I didn't get to...
