Sorry for bringing up what may be a tired topic, but for those who have had Corsa and Belanger on a Gen 4 what are you thoughts regarding quality, sound?
I am a Corsa fan having them on several Vipers and my CTS-V but want to try something new especially if louder. Thanks
Rare is relative. I would no longer call Vipers rare. Sure, compared to Vettes they are rare. But, I can remember driving my Viper in the mid 90s to car shows and it was like martians had landed--not so much anymore--though they still get attention.
As to the post that Corvettes are produced...
I had an 05 and 06. I had an 09 and now have a 10. I guess I am getting old but I don't see a hell of a lot of difference in Gens 3 and 4. (not nearly as much as I saw in the earlier Gens).
Both Gens are really nice (except for paint) and if you can get a great deal on an 03 I would not...
Further to the 53 Vette/92 Viper comparison:
1st year production 53 Vette--300 92 Viper--285 Vette all in white; Viper all red
2nd year bigger Vette 3640; Viper 1043; then 3000 plus in 94
I could be off (Jon will know) but very similar .
A 92 at $50k now might be a smoking deal in time. A...
This might be like buying 53 Vettes in 1972 for $30,000 each. But then again someone will have to wait awhile to see REAL $$$ from these (or their grandchildren)
But even 53 Vettes are not going for what they did 3-5 years ago.
Hell, I might be willing to let go of mine at that price.:)
There have been some nice 92s on ebay lately including the Viper legend Gary Lashinsky "s car (and his 98)
Re: Carfax vs Autocheck.
There was recently a Ford GT on ebay for top dollar and it showed a clear history. A bunch of guys knew the car and knew it had been wrecked. It looked great until you saw the pics of it wrecked. I would not trust any of these services.
That things been on ebay more than once. Apparently, at one time Fletcher was offering to give the car away to whomever could find him sponsorship for his race car.
Automotine jounalism giant, Davis died at age 80. As I recall a former Viper owner who may have picked his up at the plant in the 90s (later sold it for about what he paid for it--how many of us can say that?)
He is the man who made Car & Driver number 1 in the 60s and founded Automobile Magazine.
I know--I am saying I will believe it when I see it. We are approaching 2nd quarter of 11.
And on the classifieds, even when I look at other places I am seeing less Vipers though I guess the good weather may bring some out for top value.
I had not checked the classifieds in months. I was shocked by the few Vipers available compared to the last couple of years.
Will the 2013 help or hurt? (I am still having trouble thinking 13 is doable time wise)
