    Viper wheel base-why is it still so short?

    Will respond quickly, then stop feeding yet another pointless Vette plug, the Viper is not good enough thread! Small overhang cars have zero style and class. Case in point for the Vette and others like it. Looks like it was backed into a building and left for dead. Like to think the Viper owners...

    " The new Viper is exotic and curvy, but the glory days are gone at least by sales"

    Re: " The new Viper is exotic and curvy, but the glory days are gone at least by sale Well not saying the GEN V is an innovative design. It absolutely calls upon it's heritage hard for the styling. There is a huge difference when you pull styling cues from the models previous heritage and when...

    " The new Viper is exotic and curvy, but the glory days are gone at least by sales"

    Re: " The new Viper is exotic and curvy, but the glory days are gone at least by sale And you would have that extra money for the ski mask to wear over your head so no one noticed you driving that dog's breakfast of styling cue rip offs, called the new C7. Guess we will see what it sells like...

    Why do viper owners tend to keep miles so low?

    Just the type of owner more than anything. Guy I bought my 96' RT from this year has a fully custom 56' Ford truck he put $180K into and has driven it 180 miles in past 4 years. He put a whopping 82 miles on the 96' in 3 years he had it due to a bum left knee. A lot of owners of the GEN I and...

    Dash question

    I believe if the commericals are correct, the green line path will either lead you to your retirement or Carmax! Either way once you step on the gas, both are in jeapardy, hence canceled! :)

    " The new Viper is exotic and curvy, but the glory days are gone at least by sales"

    Re: " The new Viper is exotic and curvy, but the glory days are gone at least by sale Tony; You are correct in the attention arena. Even though my current Viper a 96' RT/10 is almost 17 years old, when we go to our local Cars & Coffee in Lone Tree, CO it seems to attract the people for some...

    SO, now that the G5 is out

    SRT had it right with the taller more pronounced hood scoop and tunnel as well as deeper heat extractors on the "red clay car" at VOI11. In was lowered and weakened in production. Viper has never been weak on design. That would have fixed the issue. I think the GTS is okay, like it better than...

    Look for a 1996 RT/10 Factory Hard Top

    Thanks Dan; Guess we will find out as dtvtech helped me out a ton with the purchase of his Black top which is on it's way to me now. I will not even have to paint it. :) Thank you dtvtech! I will post some pictures once I get it on and hopefully it can answer the question for any other 1996...

    check engine light

    Sambo; I would not touch a thing with it. It is a brand new car. Call the dealer up and let them (along with their new factory trained SRT technician) deal with the problem. They can pick it up on the trailer, take it back, put in a brand new battery to give you piece of mind and reprogram the...

    paint issues--please help

    Kris; Do NOT let the dealership re-paint the door. The GTS Blue is very hard to match up like other SRT paints due to the metallic in the paint. Granted each dealership is different and skills with vary but when I had my 06' GEN III Coupe GTS Blue with Silver Stripes, I added a new GEN IV hood...

    Look for a 1996 RT/10 Factory Hard Top

    Dtvtech; Thanks I will e-mail you this weekend. As far as the other aspects of the 96 hard top, I guess I could be wrong (would not be the first time). The one I saw was here in Colorado, now 5 years ago, the pad was still on, and the top was on, not unless he just set the top on there. It was...

    Look for a 1996 RT/10 Factory Hard Top

    Thanks Guys; Understood on the sports bars being the same from 92-95 and 96. I think you are correct there. The 96 RT/10 Hardtop however must be a 96-Only unique hard-top piece as you do not have to remove the bar pad to install and use it. All the pictures I have seen of the 96 Hard Top on the...

    Look for a 1996 RT/10 Factory Hard Top

    Thanks Vince, but not interested in a non-factory top. The 3 piece, autoform, etc. are all nice tops however I would like the factory one. Can anyone verify if the 1996 RT/10 factory optioned hard top is unique to that year only or is it the same as the 1998-2002 RT/10 Hardtops. In pictures...

    Look for a 1996 RT/10 Factory Hard Top

    Just as the title states, I am looking for a factory 1996 RT/10 Hard Top. My car originally was ordered with the optional Hard Top but it was lost along it's way to my ownership later on. Car has the factory slots in the targa bar top already. Was told the later 1998 to 2002 RT tops will not...

    13 SRT value with 800-1200 miles?

    That is the issue as they are suppose to be the demo cars. The wheels should not stop turning on them. Those 50 should be filling other new car orders not be the car people want anyway. That is why they are sitting.

    SRT Viper with C7 Corvette

    Well should probably table the discussion for when GM actually produces a car. Just don't understand the fascination of the future performance numbers of a car that does not exist? You might as well start comparing the new Z07/ZR2 to the new GEN VI because you know the GEN VI will absolutely...

    SRT Viper with C7 Corvette

    Sorry I would would not choose either one. Gen V is like Halle Berry in Swordfish. Perfect analogy as it was the inspiration. Someone will post the photo I am sure, which is more appropriate!

    Corsa Exhaust Installed

    PeerBlock, I think I am pretty familiar with how a motor works and the difference on the physical configurations as opposed to exhaust note. Reality is there are many things to effect it beyond what you stated including materials. SS headers versus Aluminized is a great example. While firing...

    Car has been sold

    Ryan, I know the situation and feeling well as I kind of went through this last year when I sold my Gen III Coupe due to medical situation. I wanted to get back in Viper for community, fun, etc. and just loved the cars. I still have my 95' Saleen S351R BASF Mystic Speedster and it has four...

    Corsa Exhaust Installed

    V-8 type sound is only achieveable with rear exit exhaust. Bring those pipes together out back, let the sound waves harmonize like they are suppose to and bask in the beauty. I never thought this was possible in a Viper V-10, like the Gen III, I had even with Bellangers but my Gen II with...

    $200,000 for LE GTS???

    New GEN V has zero physical pieces to change to meet Canadian specs. It is all electronic program changes now to comply with metric, day time running lights, etc.. I believe SRT deliberately did this and is why an electronic gauge pack is so advantageous to the car as it could eventually be sold...

    More wheel photos on my Gen 5

    Might as well pull the gas cap and exhaust trim rings off and Black Chrome them. Now that you pulled the badges off the ides, those two pieces really stand out. The look is coming together.

    1996 Black RT/10

    He has great taste! Any chance he can find me one too?

    No More Factory Deliveries!

    Understood Paul, but it would be crazy for them to schedule delivery on an unfinished car. Complete the car and then call the buyer to scheudle a time for factory pick up. The cars sit around and wait for regional transport to fill up anyway. As far as the normal issues of a build with parts...

    Emissions Testing

    Great news! You must still have the stock cats. On that 06' I changed mine out to hi-flo cats, I had headers and the non-cross over cat-back. It was a pain in the rear at the time and never did pass emissions. My 96' RT passed with flying colors with just a Borla cat back and K&N Stage 2 Intake...
