    Resale on New Viper?

    illy, take heart. I had no trouble finding a '96 GTS in the low 50s. Two key points probably were: 1) I live in the Chicago area and we have a lot of Vipers here. 2) I was willing to take one with 15,000 miles. Good luck!

    Shopping for GTS... help please!!

    SnakeCharmer, I was in exactly the same boat this last year. Really wanted a Black GTS, but only the '96 and '97 were in the price range. I got a '96 with 15,500 miles in July from a local dealer and was very happy. Bill is right, think about color first. Most of the differences in the GTS are...

    Hennessey Motorsports

    FWIW Tony, KS's message grabbed me exactly the same way. Second hand information does not belong here, period. Delete it please! In fact I can't help but notice that virtually every post from KS is like this. Up until now I had at least assumed that KS had a Viper. Ok, I understand the logic of...

    Brakes 101..

    Finally!!! Tony, the new board has arrived. You can stop working on it now. It is fully functionaly. For months now I was sure that this one was broken and the old board was still out there somewhere because I had not seen Mumford and Adelberg getting into it here. I feel much better now.

    Viper (Tv Show)

    I've seen it on the SciFi channel. Can't say that I'd recomend it though.

    Nest VOI?

    A kegger at Tom's house works for me. But remember Tom, you still own me for filling in for you at that kid's birthday party. So no cheap domestic swill. Bass would be good... Chuck, did you get all your new parts on before the big freeze? I got a bunch of stuff sitting in a box waiting for...

    Does anyone know who makes a trunk mat for an RT/10?

    Snake Oyl Products makes several cargo mats for both the RT/10 and the GTS. Call them and get a catalog (608-849-9878).

    Can't see my own posts...

    Can\'t see my own posts... Tony, When I post a message and the page is "rebuilt" it never shows my new message. I've lived with this because I know what I said. But now as I sit here there is a response to my post and I can't see it either. This is a problem. I even tried a new explorer...

    My Head Hurts

    Jeff, How could I be offended? In fact now that I know I was confused with Bob Woodhouse I feel quite honored. Just clowning around? So I don't get a chance to pass you? My GTS is still mostly stock and I've only been driving a snake for 3 months. I gotta have someone to pass...

    Howdy, need a little help...

    Cougar, The '96 / '97 Blue is a metallic blue and it was the only Viper Blue up until the new Sapphire Blue, which is almost Black. There were about 1850 blue with white stipes total...

    Nuke The teens !

    Ok, I think have a grip on the situation here: 1) JonB, and I assume others like him, would rather spend their time helping current Viper owners and not kids who may someday buy one. 2) Jay, Steve, et all would like to keep this board open to everyone. 3) A significant number of kids would...

    Watch out

    I Love it. Headers and Nitrous and the vette still can't beat Jeff's 11.85 in a Stock ACR!

    Shameless Plug for Snake-Oyl

    When looking for upgrades for my Viper I did most of my looking on the web. This caused me to miss an excellent source, as they do not have a web site yet. If you're looking for Viper stuff, definitely give Snake-Oyl products a call at 608-849-9878 and get a copy of their 36 page catalog. They...

    Nuke The teens !

    I gotta agree with Jon on this. Even as a 38 year old with the cash sitting in the bank to buy the Viper I did not post anything until I bought one. Read Only is more than enough for those too young to even drive one, much less buy one.

    No cats with stock resonators?

    Removal of your cats will not damage your exhaust, but it will extract a toll on our enviroment. I doubt that it was the lack of cats that made the Gen II you drove so much better. I would take a close look at all the mods on that snake before jumping to conclusions.

    A KID'S DREAM

    Re: A KID\'S DREAM Jon B, I get irritated sometimes with the time I waste just reading some of these posts. jjennings was a truly classic case of this. I never though about the time and effort exerted by folks like you that reply to all this nonsense. As we look to the upcoming re-org I would...

    Buying K&N Filtercharger+smooth tubes

    Assuming that you don't mind a little extra noise a cat back exhaust is a very popular upgrade. AFAIK most Vipers have smooth tubes, K&N's, and a cat back exhaust. You can get it all for less than $1500. I like the Borla exhaust and Adderwear's smooth tubes. Both are avilable form Sean Roe at...

    My Head Hurts

    Jeff, I suspect you may have me confused with some else as I have not been to a Viper Days event yet... Rest assured however that I will take you up on your offer at the first available opportunity.

    What Extras Came With a '96 GTS?

    What Extras Came With a \'96 GTS? I bought a used '96 GTS this summer and all I got besides the car, spare tire, and jack, was 1 key, 1 fob, and an owner's manual. I've heard talk of a video. Did it come with one? For those who bought a '96 GTS new, what else did the car come with?

    My Head Hurts

    Sorry guys, but I think that new flashing light bulbs are a bit much. Frankly I'm not much of a fan of the jumping smilies either. All this blinking and flashing makes me feel like I'm in Vegas Casino. And unless you can get some pretty girls to start serving me free Heineken I can do without it.

    Most expensive Viper!

    There was a guy on ebay last year with a '92 RT/10 and a '96 GTS with the same sequence number. The dashes were signed by Lutz and Shelby among others. That pair might rank, I know they really got me going...
