Ulysses,
I got the flier also, and the price I think was 459.00. Looked
like a good unit.

Yes, $455.95...has a minimum height of " 3 1/6" "...whatever that means (maybe a typo for 3 1/16" ???)..NO max height listed, NO weight rating, NO number of pumps etc... but I THINK I like the design...sort of "Griot's Garage-ish". I would like to see/use one sometime...or hear from someone who has, as I MIGHT need one.

$455.95 is a great price for a lightweight jack. Somebody needs to post a pic. I'm in the market for one!

saw NO reference to "weight", (light or heavy)...looks "heavy" to me...certainly NOT NASCAR style...but may fit in a Viper garage just fine!!
Jon, We got a few of these off of E-bay about 6 months ago for $15.00. Now you can buy it for even less from the company that makes it. Check out www.desperate.com and do a search of "VIPER" under the Tin Sign list

Is there a problem with the OEM jack ?
Mine has worked fine since I remembered to set the park brake.

They're talking about a floor jack.

They're talking about a floor jack.
Snake-Oyl's number is 608-849-9878 and their website is [email protected]. They have had some problems with their site, so not sure if it is up at present. Cory races occasionally and I am sure it meets all specs for a high quality floor jack. With all the others out there in the $500-900 range, I think he has a goldmine here.

Thanks Bill, JonB and Others...as one can see, I may HAVE to have one...I really like the long, low profile.

Man I think you all must just have too much money, after shipping thats 500 dollars, a couple years ago I went to pepboys and bought a jack that fits under my vipers with stock tires for $29.99. Maybe snake oyl's jack is worth 500 dollars but any way you cut it thats a ton of money for a car jack.The viper is a great deal at 75k but 75k is ton of money for a car, especially when you consider they are usually not daily drivers.
just my 2 cents.

Called Snake-Oyl today...told that the jack weighs 85 lbs, saddle sits at 3.15 inches and raises to a height of 29.2 inches (UNusual !!!), and lifts 2800 lbs.
