    Production Numbers for 99 silver / blue stripe GTS

    George is accurate on the production numbers of the Silver/Blue Vipers. To ensure that you are getting a factory striped car, you should contact a Dodge Dealer, give them the VIN number, and make sure they have two paint codes on the car (Silver, and GTS Blue for the stripes). If they only have...

    Selling my 2001 Sapphire GTS - Could Use Some Advise

    I agree with Matt, a test drive may not be necessary for a potential buyer. I've purchased four vipers over the past eight years and never drove any of them before taking possession. I think what is important to a buyer is to have the car checked out by a Viper tech, or another owner who is...

    WOULD YOU PURCHASE A NUMBER IF DODGE OFFERED IT

    Cabin Drone Info

    Agreed, Corsa with stock cats is the way to go for no drone. I had B&B on the GTS and had lots of drone at certain RPM ranges, moved the B&B to the RT/10, and put Corsa on the GTS. Now, no drone on either.

    Insurance value of totaled 97 GTs

    When my '98 Silver/Blue GTS was totaled several years ago, my insurance company obtained current pricing on comparable vipers from car dealers, and from the Internet, and gave me a very fair settlement. If your friend doesn't like the settlement offer, suggest to him that he call his adjuster...

    I can't believe that I actually bought a Viper this weekend...

    Re: I can\'t believe that I actually bought a Viper this weekend... The '96 White/Blue RT10 was my first Viper, and I enjoyed that car for five years. Get ready for lots of attention. Of the four that I have/had, the '96 seems to have had the biggest "gawk factor". If it weren't for the pop...

    How can I sell my car safely? I'm thinking about the payment..

    Re: How can I sell my car safely? I\'m thinking about the payment.. Wire transfer,all the way. I bought two, and sold one that way, and it is the safest way. On my '98 I bought in Buffalo, I showed up at the seller's house first thing in the morning. After checking out the car (it had been...

    Thanks for The RT/10, George Farris!

    I spoke with George (Farris) last week, and he told me about the pending deal with George's (Murray) friend, Neil. Neil, you got a great car, best of luck with it, and welcome to our world! Tim, he's looking for a GTS, '01 or '02.

    I get a couple of these each week, and I always forward them to [email protected] or [email protected] as applicable. The sure way to tell is to right click anywhere on the email, and when the menu pops up choose "View Source". This will open up notepad with the email exposed with all it's source...

    ALMS and Frustrated

    I sure hope you guys (Paul & Chuck) are right, there was nothing better than rooting for the "home team" at these races. I was at Watkins Glen last weekend for the IRL races, watched the Rolex race, and altough enjoyable, it's not the same when you have nothing to root for. If all it took...

    Gas prices! What are you guys paying?

    My wife and I had both Vipers out Saturday. On the way back from Delaware, we stopped and filled them up (they were each less than 1/4). I didn't get the price per gallon for premium, but it cost me $73.00 for both.

    Paid $385.90 to renew my tags for a year. What's everyone else paying?

    Re: Paid $385.90 to renew my tags for a year. What\'s everyone else paying? In Maryland, it's a one time 5% tax on the value/purchase price of car (plus another ~200 for fees and plates)at time of registration, then $130.00 every two years for renewal stickers. Tack on an extra $50 each...

    FE Viper Questions...

    feviper.com shows that #13 is/was at Smithhaven Dodge, St. James NY. You might want to give them a call and see if you can track it down. I'm very happy with mine (#022), red was not my favorite color, but I bought it because of its commemorative significance (2000 Daytona 24 hr overall...

    Exhaust sound

    The '96 RT/10's are unique in that they have only the rear muffler from the cat back, and you can get a great improvement by just doing a rear muffler delete. Snake-oyl, and Random Tech (from Parts Rack) are two excellent options, cost is ~$600 plus shipping and labor to install. When I had my...
