Nice guys, I knew I saw a GTS like that somewhere.
As for the finders fee... you all can have 100% of my winnings. Of course that would be zero, but who's counting (it was gentleman's bet).
... next round is on me!
That little clear cover following the line of the fascia? Good to know!
You caught me heheh, I wasn't completely sure... but it had the 17" wheels and red 98's seem to be the most popular of those years, I was playing the odds :cool:
Well, I'll throw in my 2 cents since no one else seems to be ;)
I haven't had to get mine smogged yet, but the word I've got around the Bay Area is to get in touch with Valaya Racing in San Jose (Valaya Racing). They have a good connection with a smog place in that area that works with Vipers...
I really hope not! Even a sunny 45 degree day commuting can be a blast! My Viper was meant to be driven and enjoyed; not stored and forgotten... but that's just me :2tu: The the weather here makes it SOOOOOO nice and easy... feel sorry for all you hibernation guys ;) Kidding heh, yours will be...
Ha, his was yellow wasn't it?? I remember when that happened though, way back when I was in high school heheh. It was pretty depressing... all of my friends knew I was a Viper addict, they all brought the newspaper clippings to make sure I knew ALL about it.
Think I know who it is too! I only know of one famous black RT/10 owner. If I'm right, I wonder who's playing him... If it's in production, it should be public knowledge, or at least something about it on IMDB.
I think it really depends on where you live. I live in a pretty upper middle class part of the East Bay and I rarely get any challenges on the road, people are too mature or busy on their phones. Most people are pretty intimidated by the looks and sound of a Viper and wont bother me. On the...
I'm guessing low 10's with that Vip-Air you have installed.
In all seriousness you should be in the mid 12's stock. With the mods you have, I'd consider very low 12's/high 11's a good run.
Very true! Hate to admit it, but they are Japanese wheels :) I guess your decision now is black chrome or black powder coating? I'd be real interested to see what you end up with, I still have my set of '02 OEM wheels, might be something I decide to do at some point.
Just a suggestion... although it doesn't sound like it's the way you want to go, but I have a set of black SSR's on my GTS. They're functional light weight racing wheels, but I like the look a lot for every day driving too. Here's a pic of mine. They have chrome center caps which I had to take...
Hmm, that looks like an '08... I might be a little intimidated! Anything in mind? Would be nice to get a day at the track. Maybe there's an open track day some place close? I've been to Thunderhill a few times, it's not too far north of Sac on 5, could be fun to get a group of Vipers together...
Hmm, I think it looks good! Very unique (don't see it much). You could take those pics from viperalley and do a little photoshop magic with a pic of your car to get a good idea.
As for value... hard to say. You can get a set of decent shape OEM wheels for about $1000 if you ever need to replace...
Hopefully someone's still keeping count... I'm 29, bought mine little over a year ago. Wanted one every day since 1991 and twice a day since the first time I saw the GTS. It's my first Viper and will probably be my last. I'll die with the keys in my pocket, that's for sure. Great thing about...
Sounds like I'm OK then :) except the helmet though, still don't have my own. Do you know if they rent them there? I really should just get one. Do a lot of people show up? Have you had to wait long before your runs?
Mike, do you know if there are any entrance requirements? Safety check, tech inspection, etc.? Probably find it on their web site I'd imagine right? Tempted to go, not much going on this weekend and it's been way too long since I've been on the track.
Great advice. However, there is a corollary... if you don't want to be disappointed when you drive your Viper on the streets, don't ever take it to the track!
