I blew my stock engine at the track.
I put in the Comp Coupe oil pan along with a 3 quart Accusump system.
Spent a lot of money building a bullet proof engine. (You can see what I did in my mod list.) Since modding, I have thrashed my car really really hard at the track. No problems.
Unless you plan on tracking the car, I would not bother with mods. It's a great street car factory stock. Get the skip-shift delete to allow you to shift when you want, and you're pretty much done.
If I were driving the car mostly on the street, with the occasional track day, I would start...
Lots of room for improvement for this video.
Shifting at 57mph is super cringe.
There was no Gen 2 convertible option. (Video says there was.)
Gen 3 has ABS.
I upgraded my stereo system back in the day. At the time (almost 20 years ago,) it was the latest and greatest. Still sounds good. Can only really tell that it's a nice system when the car isn't running, however. Too much noise othewise.

The clutch linkage on my car broke last month.
Fixed it myself in about 10 minutes (and I'm not particularly handy.) The replacement clip cost $22. Cheapest fix ever on my Viper.
If you're not tracking the car, the standard fluids are fine.
Woodhouse probably sold more Vipers than any other dealership. Guessing there are still a number of folks there that are very familiar with Vipers.
Congrats on the new Viper! (Looks like you picked the fastest color too.)
Looks like you're right. Look at that shiny billet aluminum:

Back when I was busy building my car, I would have been interested in a dry sump, even at $10k, if I could have kept my AC. My modding journey began when my...
I have not seen any Gen 3 dry sump options that allowed you to keep your air conditioning.
Are there dry sump solutions now that don't have that issue?
This happened to me. I installed a Comp Coupe oil pan and Accusump to keep it from happening again. If you track your Gen 3, I'd recommend improving the stock oiling system.
Found a replacement part at one of the local Dodge dealers.
(First couple of dealers I talked to said I was going to have to buy the whole $1600 pedal assembly to get the part.)
