Made the move today!

[carguy07]

Been looking around for a long time and finnaly stepped up today. Bought a 1995 emerald green with tan interior, last 300 side pipes, 1,350 one owner miles. Drove it around for a few hours tonight. Lots of fun! Lots of looks! The torque is phenominal. Reminds me of a Buick GN on full boil. Seems like I have a lot of driveline lash though. I am assuming it is normal to buck a lot in low gears when your off the throttle? Would a switch to 3.45 gears fix this? Anyway, can't wait for a warm day to enjoy my new family member. Thanks, Keith Woodall.

CONGRATS!

Yes they do buck like a bronco kicked in the @ss at low speed, you'll adjust your driving accordingly. I dunno if 3:54's will help, no experience in that department.

Congrats, you got a great combo! Now PICS!!!!

Check the throttle linkage synch. Lot's of stories with GEN 1. This adjustment had a big difference for me, '94 RT/10. Still bucks, but better.

Mine too bucked for the first week or so and then I learned to drive it and the buck stopped. This is the first car that I had to learn to drive since I was 12 years old back on the old Farm Tractor.(My 1st 5 spd)
Congrats on ownership and welcome.

I think you made a good choice! Those other two cars were worrying me a little. Now that is LOW miles! You may need to syncronize the throttle bodies. They all buck, but that may help.

1350 miles, what the hell did the previous guy do with it? Hee hee.

Congrats!

Congrats! I'll be looking for you around town Keith. By the way, was it a local car? The owner of the old Hartville Dodge where I bought mine owned a green rt/10. He seemed like a pretty good guy.

Congrats!

Apparently not very much? That is sad..... if he was the original owner... he lost his depreciation money... and obviously did not enjoy the Viper much.

Too Bad...... Keith will enjoy it more! Congrats!

Great color. Unbelieveably low mi. Great find. Congratulations!

 

[carguy07]

I think this is the Hartville Dodge owner's car. I think this car was in his showroom for years. Then a private owner bought it and only drove it to shows. Story I got was something like that. I have to go back to the dealer (Thomas Classics) and get the window sticker and all the old documentation. I plan to drive it as much as I can, but realistically that is only 1000-1500 miles a year in Ohio! Do any of you Ohio guys get together much?

Ditto for mine. Did the throttle linkage synch. (see how to at top of page) and no more "bucking" for me. Easy to do.

CONGRATS!! with that low mileage, you might still have some "new car smell"

I have always liked the first gen's in green.

Enjoy!!

Aloha!!!!!!!!!! Love the side pipe cars!

 

[ACR Joe]

IMO, green/tan is the most attractive color combination ever offered. I had a 94 ZR-1 with the same color combination. I wish I could have afforded to keep that car and the Viper.

Congratulations on the car!.....but I'm probably 600 miles(or more) to the north of you and I get about 8,000 miles per season. I'm disappointed if I don't get that many. Our car is not out yet, but real close. Still have a foot of snow in the yard.

1350 miles, what the hell did the previous guy do with it? Hee hee.

Congrats!
