    Base Model VS. GTS

    All coupes should have been called the GTS. What makes the base model any different besides the adjustable shocks and better interior? The GEN2 GTS didn't have two-mode shocks, so how does that make it worthy of the GTS name? There should have been package A, B, and C for all GTS's. Option...

    Sway Bar Link boot replacement

    What about GEN1's? I've been waiting for a solution to the boot problem for years. These might be the only solution, but it looks like they only offer front links: http://www.snakeoylproducts.com/product.php?productid=17927&cat=0&page=1&featured

    Where in the heck does this ridiculous idea that a Viper cannot handle come from?

    Or come with PS2's had they existed. The XGT's and MXX3's were the weakest link, but that's all they had. Modern tread design is so much better, any cheap summer front tire will outperform that old bottleneck.

    To sell or not to sell?

    The 2013 GT500 will be a mid 11 second car based on the weight (3850lbs) and traction (P285/35R). The GTS is a high 11 second car stock. Put some roller rockers, exhaust and tune and you'll be dead even with that rustang. Just based on performance alone, I don't know why someone would...

    Launch control- the "Ultimate Poser" option

    Some of you guys are a bunch of old farts, and it shows with these comments. :rolaugh: With everyone else having launch control, it would be foolish not to offer it. If I had it, I'd use it. Because if I don't, the other guy will. It almost guarantees perfect launches every time. This is...

    Reverse harder to get into, but not locked out or grinding.

    No, in doing more research and now understanding how it works, it makes sense that it's the solenoid. I think it has been working on and off, or has been slowly failing. I just always thought that when it went, you had no reverse at all, based on some other posts. But in reality, using two hands...

    Reverse harder to get into, but not locked out or grinding.

    I have Woodhouse mounts at all three corners.

    Reverse harder to get into, but not locked out or grinding.

    I just checked all the 20A fuses under the dash and didn't find any blown. Probably the solenoid then.

    Reverse harder to get into, but not locked out or grinding.

    Ok, I always thought that when reverse lockout went you couldn't get into reverse at all. I guess I better check the fuse next.

    RIP Shelby

    Did you hear what Carroll Shelby died of? . . . . . . . Ford Poisoning! . . I just couldn't resist... Shelby will be missed though, and we appreciate his help in developing the Viper.:(

    Reverse harder to get into, but not locked out or grinding.

    Hey guys, the past couple years my 94' has been getting harder and harder to push the shifter to the far right in order to get it into reverse. Before you say 'reverse solenoid' or 'syncros', understand that it never locks me out or grinds, it's just hard to physically push the shifter to the...

    Hood Liner Sides

    My GEN1 doesn't have any side pads.

    Hood Liner Sides

    That explains it. I thought my GTS was missing one also. Why would they only put it on one side?

    New key ruined... not impressed

    I took a risk and had Home Depot cut my Sneaky Pete. She told me it would not be their fault if she messed up. I told her to be extra careful and take her time and stood over her shoulder. It turned out fine, but I was sweatin' watching her cut it.

    To drive, or not to drive?

    The GEN1's have so few miles because you can't go very far without windows! That's what held me back from being able to put more than 3k miles a year on my 94'. I could never fit the curtains in the trunk because that's where my NOS bottle is. I guess if you always kept the curtains on then...

    Touchup Paint

    That one pic doesn't look too bad. It's when I hear "Dime" sized and "Quarter" sized chips, that I'm picturing bad results from touchup. But go ahead and try it. Black hides touchup very well actually. I looked into the 3M clearbra. From what I found out, it takes nearly a whole day to...

    Nice numbers. That's a smooth curve for a GEN1.

    Can you believe anybody would do this to a B/W Coupe!

    That better be a salvage title. If it didn't have one before, it does now.

    What year is best?

    Owning both a GEN1 and 2, I have concluded that, quirks aside, any GEN2 is far superior to the GEN1 in almost everything performance wise. Though the GEN1 is a great handling car, the GTS just kills it from a driving standpoint. I never realized this until I drove a GTS. It accelerates better...

    Anyone feel this way about their Viper....

    To me the F40's looks are dated. It's like Ferarri could not stop finding places to put NACA ducts. The GTS is timeless. Here's what one owner thinks of his bland F40: Now the ENZO is another story. I'd trade my GTS for an ENZO.... Drive it for a month... Then sell it and buy every flavor...

    Anyone feel this way about their Viper....

    What the??? Seriously? Is your goal to blend in? With an exhaust, SCT tune, and modern tires, you would match the Z06 in everything except braking. The Z06 seats alone will kill you. And the Z06 will never touch the GTS in looks. Seriously? The Z06 would be a nice addition, but I'd never trade...

    What is the Torque spec for the Diff to frame bolts?

    Thanks. I'll assume they are the Diff Mount Bolts. I'm glad I didn't use 150.

    What is the Torque spec for the Diff to frame bolts?

    Yes I searched. What is the Torque spec for the two verticle differential to frame bolts on a GEN2? I only have a 95 manual and it shows the ladder bar bolts being torqued to 150ft-lbs. But GEN2's don't have a ladder bar and bolt to an adaptor that's attached to the frame. I just want to make...
