    Ready to buy a GTS

    That was my car Ba$$fan. I am still happy with the sale, but my suggestion to you if you are looking for a silver GTS is to get a 1999 rather than a 1998 so that you get the newer interior door handles (the old-style bezels are cheesy and a PITA if you have to remove the door and replace them)...

    For the big guys...

    Dayum! 3,275!!! That's World Record Big Bro! You guys are all abnormal. Vipers were made for "reasonably sized" guys like me: 5'8'+ @ 155 pounds. :) Oh wait a minute, Six foot three inches @ 275 - I get it now.

    Recent Viper crash in Miami on Route 1

    I was using google news search to look for this crash and hit a follow-up to the police officer-invloced crash in New Jersey in August of 2008: N.J. court reinstates indictment against North Brunswick police officer charged in fatal crash | NJ.com Surviving driver has been indicted for...

    See what happens when Shaun White experiences a Viper

    If I was undoubtedly the greatest on Earth in two different sports (snowboarding and ramp skateboarding - but insert whatever sport you want) I would be pretty dang confident myself.

    1998 Dodge Viper GTS Salvage Title $13.5k

    If the car was totalled by the covering insurance company, why does he still have it?

    1998 Dodge Viper GTS Salvage Title $13.5k

    ANOTHER father wrecks a Viper!?! Remember this one: http://forums.viperclub.org/srt10-srt10-coupe-discussions/632949-my-viper-totaled.html BTW, why would it already have a salvage title if it was never repaired? Totaled and bought back?

    Day at photo studio...

    Answering my own question - here is a black car shot I stole from kouchicentral.com:

    Day at photo studio...

    You have any pics from black or dark cars in the same spot? Amazing studio as that light source must be colossal.

    What brake pads for (LOW DUST) street use?

    If you mean the rear piston as it is pushed out by the emergency/parking brake the answer is no special tool needed. There are two holes in the piston: simply open a set of needle nose so the tips fit into those holes and screw it back in. Very simple.

    What brake pads for (LOW DUST) street use?

    Porterfield R4S is VERY clean, but I took them back off because they are not very interested in stopping the car. I'd like to hear honest opinions about stopping power of the other low-dust suggestions compared to stock Brembo pads.

    Barrett Jackson 2011.....Bidding craziness has started!

    Just got back from first time at Russo & Steele. The first row we checked out in the first tent was absolute junk. Body and paint issues - an early 70s Vette on 22s - I was worried it was going to be a wasted afternoon, but the more we looked at the better it got. i have never seen so many...

    Barrett Jackson 2011.....Bidding craziness has started!

    I live about 3-4 miles fron Barret-Jackson, but my Father and I have been there so mamy times we are going to have lunch then go to Russo and Steele today. The R&S tents look MUCH bigger this year than the ones that blew over last year (thankfully we have GREAT weather this week). If you go to...

    My Solid Silver 98 GTS is now in the classifieds.

    That Azure is the most ridiculous car sold right now. Six thousand pound two-door. Makes a Mercedes CL look reasonable. Post pics when the car gets there.

    Finally snapped a few pics of the car today!

    Don't meant to hate on the bumble bee guys, but that yellow looks WAY better with no stripes.

    My Solid Silver 98 GTS is now in the classifieds.

    Riding a couple of Bentleys to San Antonio: its gone now. My girlfriend blubbered like someone died when the transporter came. "It's just such a beautiful car" she wailed! Inconsolable. I was fine until she started, then I got a little teary eyed.

    My Solid Silver 98 GTS is now in the classifieds.

    The only sting I am going to feel from this deal is missing out on the 100 extra horsepower RSM is going to get when he does heads and a cam on the car to make it his own! :drive:

    My Solid Silver 98 GTS is now in the classifieds.

    You know the SRT-8 Jeep is pretty darn fast in the corners too!

    My Solid Silver 98 GTS is now in the classifieds.

    Yes, which I think was a fair deal in both directions. When you add in the $1k I netted by selling my extra set of wheels and tires I got market, not fire-sale market.

    My Solid Silver 98 GTS is now in the classifieds.

    Well, after 6.5 years of ownership, 6 months for sale, one buyer who backed out, then working with another very nice but persnickity buyer for 10 weeks (including an Eddie Martin inspection) my car is finally sold. Did the paper work today with transport scheduled for Monday. Welcome...

    Am I the only one?

    If the stock gearing on a Viper was appropriate stock would be fine, but 3.55/3.73 rear gears and a .80 5th and .64 6th are just plain necessities to get the car to where it should have been from the factory. Honestly this ruins the stock Viper for me.

    What header will make my car not sound like a UPS truck....

    I disagree. It's the headers. I know it is a Gen II with rear exhaust, but here is a 0-60 run in my car with Balenger headers, stock cats modified to have 3" inlet and outlets, and two straight through mufflers on each side. Sounds pretty Lambo-ish to me...

    My Solid Silver 98 GTS is now in the classifieds.

    Good news is I sold my second set of wheels and tires and squeezed some cash out of my car there, but the market is dead and I screwed around not being aggressive and now I am up against the holidays. After not working for 5 months my savings is starting to scare me a bit and I need to get this...

    Who do you contact or how do you edit classifieds?

    This car has to go and when you see 11k mile B&W's going for $30k you realize the sad truth: these cars just aren't worth what we wish they were. But hey, I only paid $40k for it 6.5 years ago. Add in another $10k-$15k of mods and that is not horrible depreciation/cost for 6+ years of fun.
