    gen 3 engine into gen 2 GTS

    I've seen gen 3 v10s put in a lot crazier stuff than another viper, so it can't be that hard. I've seen em in Nomads, New Yorkers, Volvos, you name it.

    Nerd alert- 2013 Maisto Vipers

    I found a red one at Walmart about a month ago for $10...it was the only one there, and they haven't gotten any in since. I was at a carshow just this weekend, and they were selling them loose (no box) in all 3 colors, but wanted like $20 a pop for 1/24.

    Does anyone have a recomendation for a mini polisher/buffer?

    If it's just for tiny touch ups, it really doesn't matter about battery life etc....just get a cheapo one, like a Meguiars etc. I bought a Mothers Powerball (for paint), for quick touch ups, and use it on low speed setting. It does the job. Not meant for heavy compounds though

    Gen 1 vs Gen 2 soft top

    I don't believe there is a difference in fitment, but I know the top that came with my early gen 1 was a bit of a joke. It really wasn't meant for driving by any means, more for if your car is sitting in the parking lot, and it starts to rain, you have something to put over it.

    *FOUND* 2013 SRT Viper Hot Wheel diecast pics! (rear end!)

    First off, I don't think anything will greatly devaluate the epicness that is Gen I & II Vipers.....after all, these are vipers, not vettes lol (I giggle when I see C5 vettes for like $14k). 2ndly, I would pay anything to own that hotwheels right now!! (even though in a few months time, it could...

    AMT Promo Mc.Vipers....how rare are they?

    ahh, I see. I have 1/24 plastic promos in all other colors, but don't have 96 like this in plastic. I think I remember the 3 car set you speak of (the other 2 had stripes as well). So it's worth about $1.50 lol

    AMT Promo Mc.Vipers....how rare are they?

    Rodolphe Viper watch knockoff

    I couldn't imagine paying that much for a watch covered in car logos (and I'm a watch guy). Sure, they are gorgeous, but if you're spending over $2k for a watch, it's because you want it to get noticed. Normally, car-related novelty watches are associated with being cheap....much like a Mustang...

    Taking apart a 1/18 Burago Viper???

    that's what I first though, but where the windshield snaps to the firewall area, it's not going so well. It's like they tied it in a knot lol

    Taking apart a 1/18 Burago Viper???

    I would like to disassemble a 1/18 Burago Dodge Viper RT/10, but have no clue how to. I've tried, but it doesn't seem easy. Has anyone taken done this before?? Would love some tips if it were a 1/24 Burago Viper, it would be a piece of cake. I used to put together those 1/24 metal kits years ago

    Matte Black GTS

    Welcome! looks really mean...I love it. I too have a Satin finished RT/10 (snake skin green). The look is unique, but it's proving a tough sell now that we want to sell it. My advice: if you ever want to sell, repaint to stock :p
