    Dodge Viper Gift.

    That's correct, the change from Koni to Dynamic was made mid year 2000. As an FYI the OP"s car with Blue front shocks as shown was not correct for an ACR.

    For you guys that have owned multiple gen2s

    Minor changes but here goes... My car is a 2000 ACR, it has the rear hatch lever under the passenger seat, I'm not certain if the '99 has that. 96-97 cars needed additional reinforcements to the rear of the frame as a recall. I want to say 2000 and up has a higher capacity fuel pump. I believe...

    ACR Shock Adjustment tool and radio delete plate

    Not sure, though I think I remember the VPA had the plate listed at one time. I'm guessing you have an '01-'02 with the dynamic shocks. The Koni's 99-early 00 did not come with the spanner wrench. I recall reading that the spanner on the later cars was placed in the pocket on the back of the...

    Sign of damage or hood half unlatched?

    Something Is certainly not correct. It is possible that the hood is not latched on the driver side, however it is also not likely that this would occur if it is adjusted properly. There are two rear locking points and two latch points up front. The rears settle into position as the cowl side...

    Cat delete pipes ... who did you use?

    The horse can read better than your reading comprehension. When one is talking about removing the CATS and replacing it with a straight piece as you yourself noted in the second post, the inference is a straight or curved (what ever is necessary) PIECE OF TUBING, that is used to replace the...

    Delaers win buyer seller lose

    The reality is that ACR's are finally on the rise. That being said, sometimes sellers don't want to deal with strange people coming to their homes. A 5K or more reduction in price may be a small price to pay, when the dealer takes the car and pays immediately. I can tell you that I've thought of...

    8 speed auto in a gen 5 viper

    Just curious what auto your thinking of using? If the HD Hellcat version is too big, will the one your sourcing handle the Vipers torque on a long term basis? Sounds like a fun build.

    Buying a GTS, but which to buy?

    I suggest looking at a bunch of different cars and pick the one you love the most. They all have their own attributes and quirks. Just make sure you have the car you want checked out by a Viper tech. Call the Viper Wizard, Chuck Tator, somewhere in your neck of the woods. You won't find better...

    Ran into the garage door :( side sill repair/replacement optoins?

    Not certain about Gen I's, but generally speaking any kind of plastic body filler on the side sills is going to fail. This is especially the case if you have the factory cats in place. Gen II side sills are Aluminum, I'm guessing the Gen I's are the same.

    For the first time in 12 years.....

    Ultimately the yellow is really a deep cycle battery and the red is not. I've never bought the yellow so I can't really comment on their quality. I do know that the red tops are not going to last if you deep cycle them a few times. Most red tops can be brought back after a deep cycle but your...

    For the first time in 12 years.....

    Ok, your one of the few real examples. My question to you, if you recall......how old was that battery? All Optima batteries have a build date on them. Because of their cost, these batteries tend to go unsold for long periods of time. You can buy direct from Optima, which ensures freshness...

    VPA Announcement

    I have no idea what your talking about, but since you responded and clearly you don't know what I meant. I'm going to spell it out for you. Somehow people are under the strange belief that one of the purchasers here has done the club a favor by purchasing all these legacy items. The fact is that...

    Looking to join the ranks

    Viper's are nothing like Ferrari's in terms of maintenance. It's not the mileage that's the issue, it's age. At 15 to twenty years your going to have issues like weather stripping going bad and wires in the door harness failing due to poor quality. Your window regulator may fail, door hinges all...

    For the first time in 12 years.....

    I agree with you 100% on US made products. I think part of the problem in the past was that Optima only had the one style Red top. It was a gamble on fitment in the Viper, due to frame clearance issues. Guys were cutting down the top post terminals for fitment. When they had problems, of course...

    VPA Announcement

    I think your completely missing the point.

    For the first time in 12 years.....

    As an FYI the same company has owned Optima since 2000. Your junk battery held up pretty good in my book.

    For the first time in 12 years.....

    This is about as accurate as the myth that Vipers don't handle. Just because people perpetuate it on the net doesn't make it so.

    VPA Announcement

    Why wouldn't this info (the sale of VPA) have been disclosed to the Viper community at large? Seems no matter what happens the good ole boy network always gets the deal. For those of you that believe that small things such as bolts by the thousands are a burden to the new buyers, you have never...

    Valuation: 2014 Viper GTS, all white, black interior, Black wheels, 3500 miles...

    Not that I care, but it seems the correct Gen section might get you some answers.

    Finally ready to buy a Viper, have a few questions though.

    Gen II pedals are adjustable, can't answer the helmet question, but 6'8" is tall! Motors are really bullet proof unless your talking about a Gen I that has the original paper head gaskets. The other consideration is how many hacks have had their hands on the car. Maintenance items are generally...

    how much torque can a stock diff take?

    Higher ratio as in higher numerical value generally means weaker set up. More teeth means more cuts in a given area.
