Cost of Viper ownership?

[JimDavis MT 97GTS 650R]

Hi SnakeCharmer,
Probably the most common problem you will encounter, will be wanting to replace perfectly good stock parts with even better ones from our Viper Tuners & Suppliers. This will probably start with small stuff at first, but, after the first season of ownership, the seduction will be complete and you won't be able to stop buying Viper goodies. Your wife and friends will question why you are "hopelessly addicted" to your car, and suggest you "seek professional help". Your only hope will be Viperholics Anonymous (a secrative group) and a quick fix from the Viper Board site. If you already have the car, it's only a matter of time! I know, because I AM A VIPERHOLIC. May the Great Viper Gurus have mercy on you. Get help quick and enjoy!

20K on my 98 RT/10. Many 1/4 mile runs, several Gandy Bridge runs and a few road courses including VOI6. Not one single problem!!!

Change fluids regularly.

I have 32,000 on my 94 without any problems. Take care of the car and it should respond very well!!

68,000 miles only a stuck thermostat once!
Bullet-proof as far as mine is concerned.

Very reliable car. Get a warranty and all you will ever pay is the deductible. I street and tracked my car and only popped a half shaft once at a freshly coated drag strip. Compare that to what my Porsche/Ferrari/Lambo/BMW buddies suffer through and I feel like a genius. It's a solid design.

My budget for unexpected problems = $0.00 per year. My 98GTS has been trouble free.
