    Intro and Parking Brake Assembly

    ON MY GEN 1 SOMETIMES THE parking brake would go up all the way with no resistance. When I put it back down and gave it a couple of short pulls the racket catches and it works fine. Don't hang it. Try some short pulls first and it might adjust itself.

    That's probably the best way to go. I had the back of the car painted and the top. and they had to huge with paint to get it to match. I think you are right in that the viper red changed over the years.

    ACR GTS-R is it worth buying and reviving!!

    What would the viper replacement parts cost. How are you wanting to use it? Probably wouldn't track it. Good question on how are your skills? Is the frame bent? For what they cost it might be a good deal depending what your friend wants for it. Maybe not to much of a risk if you can sell it for...

    The Viper Search

    I found my Gen 1 three states over. Drove out with my daughter and husband and drove back with a viper. I hit a blizzard in Chicago and cars were sliding in the ditch as I was trying to catch up with them as they left before me. Wanted to ride out the storm in a motel. Drove through the storm...

    Dodge Viper stereotypes and sayings

    Viper values

    Your car should have some value. Especially if it has an antenna on the back. You got a steal. It's really a brand new car. So its your decision if you want to make a few extra bucks by not driving it or have great time with it and when you sell it it will never be at the price you bought. You...

    Battery Dies - Old LoJack System?

    The battery will always be dead in 3 to 4 days. I leave a trickle charger on at all times. If I go someplace I have portable battery charger that I slip under the hood and it charges the battery overnight. If I stay in a hotel I charge up the battery charger while I'm gone. The reason that it...

    Viper values

    Your car is worth what you are willing to sell it for. I don't see why the viper community want to down grade the first generation viper so much other than they may think they might get more for their car because it is a newer generation car and has improvements. I have a 93' viper and the first...

    Buying a low mile Gen 1 Viper, any tips for what to expect?

    Hi Rod. Lots of people will tell you why your car isn't worth as much because it doesn't have this or that of the newer models. Your car is worth as much as it is worth to you and how bad you need the money. The market has gone up to $40,000 for a car like yours. I think it is worth more. Mine...

    Sourcing Obsolete Parts For Gen I and Gen II Vipers

    Fuzzy paint Guys. I played with the paint using PPG to finally match the color. Painted over the dash with an artists airbrush. (I'm an artist) took about 6 hours. Matched perfectly.

    RT 10 exhaust

    I have them too. Mine are loud but bearable. I put extra sound deadening under the rug. This helped in the heat as well as quieting it down in the inside.

    Buying a low mile Gen 1 Viper, any tips for what to expect?

    Have a Belanger system. If aggressive sound what you are looking for these are the ones. However, they are loud. Been awhile since they were put in. I don't think I have cats. Have 15% loss in hearing so sounds good to me. LOL Bought some sound deadening material. This provided extra sound...
