    Going from a gen 3 to a gen 4

    You can do a lot with 22K on the car you already have. Throw on a 08+ hood, change the wheels along with new tires, do full exhaust, intake, cam(?), change the gears, and a good tune. It would be a whole new car. Thats what I am planning on doing in a couple years. The only way I would trade my...

    Hot Interior

    I don't know what gen you have, but I removed all the factory exhaust on my 03 and went with a aftermarket system that elimated the cross over pipes and it does make a huge difference. Everyone keeps preaching it, and honestly I figured they were all just babies. Now that I have done it, I see...

    Please help. Keys locked on trunk

    If anyone is in the same boat as I am, feel free message me. A fellow member really helped me out and I was able to get into the truck, get my keys, and continue my event. I was at a standing 1/2 mile event in Carrabelle, FL. I didn't get many early runs in because of the key incident, but in...

    AC woes they won't go away

    I don't have any tips or tricks, but do you have a service manual for it? If not, I would probably get one if I were you. I just ordered a full set (4 books) from a guy off ebay for like $55. Its a cheap insurance to potentially save a lot of money if you break something in the process. Good luck.

    Gen III Cat-Back Exhaust Installation - HELP!!

    I just did this project on friday. I will be the first to admit that I am no expert mechanic. If you are at all mechanically inclined (it sounds like you are), you will be fine. It took a friend and me about 4.5 hours to remove all the factory pipes and install the header back magnaflow systam...

    Fulfilled a 17+ year old dream today

    Welcome to the club. Where at in portland are you? I grew up there and still visit now and then. If the weather is nice, I reccomend taking a trip up to Mt. St Helens. I have done it in a bike a couple times but never in a fun car. It would be a great day of driving.

    used aftermarket exhaust for Gen III

    This might sound like a odd request, but I am looking for used aftermarket exhaust for my (new to me) 03' I would really like to get rid of all the factory tubing before summer hits here in Florida. Its already starting to get warm and I would rather not have all that heat under my butt. I'm...

    Just bought my Viper

    congrats. Good call on the slate grey. I don't know the exact numbers, but there were very few made in that color. It was first on my list when I was shopping but they are very hard to come by. I also had a 12 hour drive home when I purchased my viper. Its a long time, but I bet you were...

    Who do you use for insurance? Not for people that have collector car insurace

    28, married, pay 950/6 months on three car's including the 03 viper. That is with Geico. One thing to keep in mind is where people are located. I had Allstate and when we lived in Spokane, WA, our rates were pretty low. When we moved to Florida, it just aobut doubled. That was when we switched...

    Which viper is the better deal?

    Before I purchased my car a couple months ago, I did a lot of research on pricing. If you can get a coupe with <20,000 miles for under 50K, its a fair deal. Clean 03 verts with the same mileage are around 39-44K. To find either one at those prices with no stories is even harder. Make sure to get...

    Standing 1/2 mile in Carrabelle, FL... Anyone going?

    sweet. I'm sure I don't have a chance against a TT, but it would be fun to run them down the track at the same time.

    Standing 1/2 mile in Carrabelle, FL... Anyone going?

    It looks like there is a standing 1/2 mile event coming up in carrebelle, Fl on March 24th sponsored by wannagofast.com Does anyone know anything about this event? I have only had my viper for a couple months but this seems like a good sanctioned even to open her up a little and have some fun...

    Looking for a 03+ What is the best place for best price?

    Lol. I was on my R&R time from my last deployment and as soon as they lowered the price from 44K to 40K, I jumped on it. I put down a deposit and drove down there a couple days later. The dealership guy said there was a line of people waiting for it if I backed out. I got lucky, but there are...

    Looking for a 03+ What is the best place for best price?

    Glad to see you are ready to buy. I did a lot of searching and research before pulling buying my 03'. Here's my take on the viper purchasing world. For some reason, most people don't really move much on their car price. I had a pretty strict budget of 42K for a vert and 46K for a 06 coupe. There...

    Cheap Racing Helmets

    Rob nailed it. I also did the motorcycle thing for a while and the one time I crashed pretty bad, I had my head/helmet bounce off the pavement. I had a good helmet on and barely had a headache. If endurance and comfort are important, go with a good lid. If you are looking for something to throw...

    An extremely random question.

    This is a good thread. Here's my story. I just turned 28 last week. From the outside, my wife and I appear to be well off, rich, ballin....I get it all. In reality, we manage the hell out of our money. After screwing around with college for a couple years and working construction, I decided it...

    Next Tampa Meet?

    If anyone is in the same shoes as IDM and is around the Destin / Pensacola area, let me know. I have a 03 and wouldn't mind showing someone who is interested in buying. I was able to check out a 05 before my purchase and it really helps out to see one up close.

    Window Regulator -GEN 3/4 Archilles Heel

    My (new to me) 03 does it as well. I have noticed that if I don't roll the window down the whole way, just low enough to clear the top of the door, it't not as bad. It is a little embarasing when I'm going on base and I have to baby the window down just to show my ID to the gate guards. O well...

    Any younger owners get this?

    I have only been a viper owner for a few weeks now, but I am starting to see some of the issues listed here. I'm going to be 28 this month, and, like another member said, most people don't know the difference between a 92 and a 2010. I have a couple neighbors who don't talk to me because of the...

    Gen 3 or Gen 4 Transmission and Engine Wanted!

    There is an 03 on ebay right now that has probably everything that you would need for your project. His starting bid is 14K, but it might be worth a look.
