Hey all, hope everyone had a good holiday, things are good in the far north of Canada.
My search for a blue/white GTS is ramping up a little closer than expected with several decent cars going up on the board and dealer cars at the trader sites so the hunt is on, looks like the first fly out or road trip to get to a car may happen soon, so here's where I need to tap into those in the know!!!

Apart from the obvious wear items that are not Viper specific, like bolster wear, rubber in the wheelwheels, pedal shifter wear that agrees with the mileage, what are some key points to note on a GTS, specifically first year GTS to indicate abuse?
Do yellowing sills automatically indicate hard use, or can they yellow from daily driving as well, never heard that discussion on the site I don't think?
Just looking for some pointers beforehand to personally pass the car before getting into a Viper Tech inspection and run test for blow by, etc.........
Thanks for the help,
Ryan Bilyk

good point, a tracked car by no means is an abused car, all points taken, I would say most tracked cars, 1/4 mile or otherwise are taken as good care of, if not better in some cases than a conversation piece hogging up valuable garage space...
