    How much is a used factory hardtop worth?

    For what it's worth...there was an Autoform top and hard windows on my 96 when I bought it....the I wasn't into the hard top/windows and the dealer said he'd try to sell it for me. Jon B's been keeping his ear to the ground for me as well. Some like the Autoform tops best, but it's all...

    What's the best car song?

    Wow... How do you choose the "best" car song? My vote goes for Hey Lowdown by Big Sandy and His Fly Rite Boys. Great recorded... Amazing live. Great guys too.

    How much transmission fluid?

    I recently swapped the fluid in my 96 RT to the Mopar synth. Just under 4 quarts. What came out appeared to be ATF. Huge improvement in the way the car shifts.

    K & N filters..Pro & Cons

    I spent some time with the link listed above..then got bored. One person mentioned that no makers use K&N, etc. We all know that the 10HP increase for the Gen 2 ACR was thanks to smooth filters and K&Ns. If Chrysler thought there was a concern about filtration with these filters, I doubt they...

    Viper support vehicle decals? or decals in general

    They look great! I'd prefer the older logo, but still...very nice!

    Sagging pockets

    Those headliner pockets are available (or used to be) as part number PB58DX9, "Net, Overhead Storage". They are held in with clips from the rear. The real problem is getting behind the headliner. It uses push in clips with a fuzzy head, QKSX9. It's also held behind some interior moldings...

    Anyone have experience with Danmar MaxJax?

    I don;t have one....but I looked into them. I guess it depends on what you want to do with it. As you likely know, the MaxJAx has to be securely bolted to the cement. Your floor may or may not be able to support this. If not, you'd need to replace the pads where this will go. I got a...

    Those that asked for PMs....have them.

    Clear vinyl guard for bottom lip of front fascia, anyone seen one?

    Perhaps not what you're thinking about....and hopefully I'm not breaking rules I used to sell a piece of molding on eBay that was a "U" channel which could be pushed onto the bottom lip of the Gen 2 fascias. It came up about .25 of an inch to protect that bottom edge from scrapes. It has a...

    Junkman @ Thompson Racing 16OCT2010!

    I'm sorry I didn't get there...after the show wound up...I had to come back and handle some work stuff.

    Junkman @ Thompson Racing 16OCT2010!

    I'm hoping to make it too. My club is doing the show at Chapman and I'll have go see how the time goes.

    Ford GT vs Dodge Viper - BOTSC's!

    I watched the show too. Wasted time. First of all, two modified cars, one of which was not sorted out prior to the show. Redos on some tests but not on others. Worst of all is the smack talk BS that seemed to be encouraged by the emcee. There's little doubt that these guys are talented...

    How do you take care of your soft top?

    On my former RT, I used one of those lint roller things...like for clothes. The top for the current RT has been in the bag, on a shelf as long as I have had the car.

    build info by VIN??

    fastandloud...I never heard about sending a VIN and getting a build sheet. It's that easy?

    I hit a deer!

    I can't help much with the repair...but make sure it's a comprehensive claim, not collision. Hitting a deer is not in the eye of insurance companies a collision. Your deductible is likely lower for comp and the claim may be viewed differently than collision when it comes to your rates.

    GTS- 2000 ACR no abs or 2001 gts with abs

    dave6666 hit it squarely on the head. I don;t think we'll live long enough to see these cars take off in value like hemi 'cudas and such...so buy what you like and enjoy. If you think ABS is important to you get a 2001 or later. When I bought my steel/striped GTS new in 2000, it made no...

    GTS- 2000 ACR no abs or 2001 gts with abs

    My two cents which is likely worth just that or less..... The ACR thing is overblown. 10hp more thanks to filters and smooth hoses you can do yourself. No foglights, which I think are a must. I remember some ACR guys taking the ACR shocks out as they were too stiff. I prefer the regular GTS...

    Chrysler employees drinking & smoking pot on lunch break

    Hmmmmmm

    I take my Vipers to our local cruises all the time. I too have noticed a lack of Vipers at our local weekly cruise night. In fact, mine is usually the only one. Funny part is...one night there was one Viper...mine....and 6 Ford GTs!

    2002 Final Edition GTS

    Well guys....correct me if I am wrong...but the one in Houston appears to have had the fascia repainted. The stripes shouldn't go all the way down underneath...should they?

    Is this factory paint on a 99 ACR??

    Yes, the little spots of clear tape are on the edges of Gen 2 fascias...but I never noticed the flat black before. I know the flat black wasn't on my former 96 or my current 2000 GTS. Both I bought new/

    Advice on 95 vs 96

    All this talk about OBD caused a reminder. When I first got my '96, it obviously needed PA inspection. According to my Tech, 1996 is the first year for plug-in emissions inspection. 1995 and down needs to go on the rollers.

    Advice on 95 vs 96

    Good luck Mark. Why a dealer would not let you test drive it beyond me. Of course, I did look at one '94 and the owner would not let me drive. He was a really nice guy...and I'm glad we met...but I've had now 4 Vipers and driven countless high performance cars...but he insisted we just go for a...

    Advice on 95 vs 96

    ViperJames brings up a point that many brought to me when I was looking. The GenII cars do have roll up windows, the newer interior, more powerful engine, etc. At least for me, I have a Gen II GTS and I wanted the earlier car. To each their own I suppose...but for me...a Gen I was a must.
