    It nice to see that we can finaly argue the + and - of the GTS Vs the SRT without getting into personal insults. As for your question: "Is it a huge difference between overall performance and ride of the SRT vs. GTS, or would it even be noticible after getting used to the GTS ?" Both...

    Why ?

    Why do some people feel the need to list all the non Vipers cars they own or, even worst have owned, in their signature? Do their business card list them also? Do they introduce themselve by saying : Hi, I'm Charlie and I own/have owned such and such and such....cars? Luc 00GTS

    Wow! DC just extended Ambassador coupons to SRT-10!

    At least with the Ambassador coupon we know which cars DC has a hard time selling. Kind of disapointing (but not surprising) to see a Viper in the list. Luc.00GTS

    Side sill insulation

    The problem,regardless of warranty, is that the shields are not serviced separatly(spel?) but with the side sill. At $4K per side,I will not be surprised if Max Care drag their feets. I had both side sills replaced under the 3years/36K warranty for a slight paint problem( turning yellow due to...

    Z06 TEST ON SPEED TV SATURDAY @ 5:00 PM CST

    "Road Test" is nothing more than a slick form of advertising,closer to an infomercial (spl?)than a independant/balanced test. Regardless of the car they "test",they always rave about it and have never anything even sligtly critical to say about it. SpeedTV has become NASCRAP TV. Luc.00GTS

    I live on across the street from laguna Seca, off highway 68 about 1/2 way between Salinas and Monterey. I moved there from LA back in 1989 and no way will I ever go back. We have plenty of Vipers around and (beside one 1 the best track in the world) some of the best "driver" roads. The nice...

    OBD II Code Readers

    I personally don't know - I used it on a Gen II. The Roe Racing site says it works on "1996 and later Vipers" - no mention of just Gen II, and there are many other places on the site that do limit things to Gen II or Gen III. If there is any doubt, someone contemplating such a purchase may want...

    Why no official release on Coupe performance?

    Dirk: I think that the "point of diminishing returns" (save for PR/advertising) has been reached long ago. ALL manufacturers, not cars only but also trucks, for about every new models, claim a huge % improvement in torsional rigidity compared to the previous model. Will that mean that the...

    2002 GTS ACR VS 2005 SRT-10

    I'm curious, how can you, on the street, push a high performance car like the Viper to it's limit(being a GTS or SRT) in order to be able to say that one handle and/or brake better than the other one? I'm not questionning the superior braking and handling of the SRT, but, as a long time racer...
