    Dodge Viper stereotypes and sayings

    What's really cool is when people walk past a $200,000 McLaren to gawk at my Gen 2 RT/10 at Cars and Coffee. Yep, that's right, and we were parked side by side. Timeless beauty. Nothing like it.

    Floor Mats

    I had an after market motorcycle seat that was held in place with industrial grade velcro. No proplems with 19,000 miles.

    93 Viper - thoughts...

    Vipers are not investments, just like other cars, they are meant to be driven. Have fun with it. Like jdeft1 says, look into changing gaskets, hoses, fluids, etc. and start having fun with your car.

    96 GTS Plugs: Using Champion rc12ecc instead of rc12lyc

    Double copper in the ecc vs single in the lyc. I just put a set of rc12ecc plugs in my gen ll. Runs great.

    The right place to advertise a 96 GTS

    +1 for Ebay. That's where I found my Viper only 100 miles from my home after looking all over the country online.

    So which Viper is or will be the most collectable?

    My guess is Gen l and Gen ll. But the older the car, in most cases, the more collectable it becomes. Go to a car show and see which cars make the top 20. It's almost always cars from the 60s down.

    Looking to purchase a Viper

    The Gen ll Vipers are more civilized than Gen I Vipers. Still, I love the side exhausts and wish my '02 roadster had them. Do some research on both before you make a final decision. It's nice to have real side windows, a hard top, anti-lock brakes, tighter suspension, more power, etc. Later...

    Viper pricing

    I went to a car show the other day and saw a 1967 corvette with a sign on it that said only 22,900 made. Had to chuckle. My '02 roadster is one of 545 made...ever. Red with black interior: 139 made. There were only around 30,000 Vipers made in 25 years. In 2016 more than 40,000 corvettes were...

    Heater Hose Replacement Question

    I'm planning to replace my rubber heater hoses with silicone hoses. Is this a simple task...drain coolant and simply replace the hoses or does it require movements of other parts? Any precautions to be aware of?

    Am I Viper Candidate

    I recently purchased a 2002 RT/10 because I've always loved that body style...very similar to the first Viper (1992) but has many upgrades. Better handling due to suspension upgrades, more power, ABS (2001 and 2002), power windows, hard top, etc. It was the last year of that particular body...

    1996 GTS on E-Bay with only 3,800 Miles, $59.9K, Good Deal?

    Agree with Steve e. I bought a '61 Corvette in 1967 for $1500 and sold it a year later for $1000. Was offered $900 and turned it down. $100.00 was a lot of money back then. Can't compare a 1962 Corvette with a 1992 Viper in value...the Corvette is 30 years older. Age will increase the value of...
