Hi all, I've been loving my GTS for a few years now but need to sell since my wife and I are moving across country next month (she's getting an MBA). Albuquerque is a tough place to sell Vipers since we're out in the middle of nowhere, so I'll probably be putting it up on EBay and/or contacting...
Well, it seems like Albuquerque is a tough place to sell a snake because I have a fantastic example and haven't gotten as many inquiries as expected. Maybe it's the fact that we're out in the middle of desert with no major cities within several hundred miles?
As a result, I'm dropping the...
I had very severe tramlining when I bought my '01 GTS. When I replaced the front tires and had the front end aligned, it went away completely. Not sure if it was the tires, the alignment, or a combination.
I've been wanting to open up that other speaker - I feel like the audio has been unbalanced since day one! On a serious note, I'd love to take out the cats altogether but we have emissions tests here :( I'm gonna start looking into the hi-flows soon. Thanks for the info guys.

Ok, so I've been bonding really well with the Viper over the last 7 months. Never had any major problems, and didn't even mind all the quirks that some people say make it unfit for "daily driving". That is, until the summer heat hit! I knew this was coming but didn't know just how roasty that...
The trick with the clips is to not grab them and try to brute force them off, but to press down on the raised back which forces a catch to release. I almost destroyed my first one when I twisted the whole thing with pliars in frustration. I wish I had taken pictures when I had them off!

About taking minutes, it depends how easily you can wriggle under the dash and how fast you can figure out how to get those pesky clips off. I'd say it took me 15 mins. I can hardly tell the difference in clutch height or travel - wish it affected it more.

This has happened to several owners lately, including me. The wires that run into the door seem to break easily. Get it fixed by the dealer if under warranty, otherwise search this forum for tips on how to do the fix yourself.

The worst thing about living here is the altitude. 5k-6k feet takes away 15% of the power. Just makes a supercharger that much more tempting :)
The good things are that there are some nice mountain roads to drive on, and you don't have to worry about a lot of rain or snow. You can pretty...
I just had this problem too. Hasn't been fixed cause I'm waiting for other parts to come in before I take it back to the Tech. They never call me back and tell me when things are ready :(
Thanks for all your replies. Like you said BigMedicine, seems like it's temperature related since we've all had it happen so recently. I'll go check the wires.

Well I've had about 3 months of problem-free ownership and then a weird thing happened today - my driver side door handle and the speakers stopped working. I have to use the pull-handle to get out, but the exterior door button still works. I'm guessing that some of the wires going from the...
OMG I found one too! I wonder how many original owners never knew it was back there. Too bad it's in VHS - kinda like finding an old 8-track tape when you buy new speakers. This also means I had that extra 50rwhp the whole time and can't gain any more :(
I also have a red car and originally thought I would do stripes (maybe with nylon), but now the solid red has grown on me. Stripes definitely make it look racier, but solid more 'refined'. Just my .02 :) I might do some in a while and will probably go with white.
Just for grins, I did this in excel. It looked like it peaked right between 3900 and 4000, so I put another data point in between.

First thing I did was get enough kudos to unlock the GTS, z06, and 360 so I could drag race them :) My favorite part so far was when I tried a one-on-one at expert level in the supercar series and saw it was a GTS they put you up against :laugh:
Pretty killer game. I don't have live -...
