Few questions that need answers!

[varanus]

1. First, a really important thing for me. I´ve heard that it´s kind cramped inside. How´s the legroom and shoulderroom? I´m 6´3" and not thin!
How not thin are you? Read the posts and you will see some fair sized people fitting in

2. Is it hard to get into and out of? Not very wide these doors, it seems.
A little. I kind of "fall in and fall out" Car is pretty low

3. What´s the common price for a ´96-99 GTS in (near) perfect condition? Then I mean no scratches and all the stuff in it is in good condition of course, I don´t want a lemon
See classifieds Probably 50,000 on up get s a pretty nice car. Highly recomend having a viper tech inspecting the car before buying or a really knowledgeble member . Many members will check out a car if you find one in their area..part of the viper brotherhood courtesies.

4. How much is a good exhaust system and air filters for a Viper? What brands should I considder?
exhaust inc headers about $3500 to $5,000. TNT, belanger, svsi, corsa, etc. Check archives for peoples opinions on what they got. Air filter & tubes about $150

5. Any problems with the height of the car, from the road to the lowest point of the car?
It's pretty low, you must take care not to hit curbs, driveway angles, etc.

and one thing I´ve always wanted to know...

6. Is the rear Viper badge really a braking light?
Not sure..I'm always driving it. But I know it lights up with the tailight on at night

Thanks for reading this and I hope you Viper owners can help!

First of all, welcome.

1. First, a really important thing for me. I´ve heard that it´s kind cramped inside. How´s the legroom and shoulderroom? I´m 6´3" and not thin!

It is tighter than most other cars, 6'3" is pretty tall, but others that height have fit.

2. Is it hard to get into and out of? Not very wide these doors, it seems.

It's really not all that hard.

3. What´s the common price for a ´96-99 GTS in (near) perfect condition? Then I mean no scratches and all the stuff in it is in good condition of course, I don´t want a lemon

That's a pretty wide range. I'll guess $50K-> $65K

4. How much is a good exhaust system and air filters for a Viper? What brands should I considder?

Exhaust systems are usually in the range of $2500 to $3000 +.

5. Any problems with the height of the car, from the road to the lowest point of the car?

In stock form, there are a few problems with steep driveways.

and one thing I´ve always wanted to know...

6. Is the rear Viper badge really a braking light?

Yes, at least on mine it is.

7. The bracket for a front license plate, is it bolted into the front bumper or is it somehow fitted into the radiator gap?

The front license plate does not come attached (at least in the US it doesn't). There are markings on the facia itself that mark drill holes to mount the plate that comes with the car, but others have devised ingenious ways of mounting the plate without having to drill.
