    Help Me Choose 02 GTS OR 03+ Viper

    You might find the '02 FE sells for higher than the '03 to '05 cars . . . condition equal. I was partial to the 1999 since it was the last year of that style with a forged engine, but it depends what you want to do with the car. The 2003 will be more civil, refined, and likely even faster...

    My 1999 GTS Ownership Experience (Documented)

    My friend, this has already occurred. =P I sent the car to service before I took delivery. We did just over $16,000 in work (over 2 months) on it before I could drive it. Now that it's back . . . it's a lot of fun and something really special, for sure. Not "better," just "different." Just...

    That picture is exactly like the setup I used. It worked very well, and I never had to do that dreaded battery replacement.

    Classic Vipers-- I don't understand it

    I personally believe we're at a low point for Viper value, and it should go up from here. My thinking is as follows: 1) The body is something dreams are made of - no other car was made before quite like it or will be again, quite like it. This is one of the reasons (while not in the same...

    Help . . . New Viper Owner, Trouble. :(

    After I let the Battery Tender nurse that battery back to health . . . the battery never gave me trouble again. Stayed healthy for the next 4.5 years until I sold the car. Love these Battery Tenders! On a side note, I had the battery tender fail once a year or two ago . . . and, they happily...

    Silly Question: Need To Source Catalytic Converters . . . Please Advise . . .

    Hello, I had a 1999 Dodge Viper GTS from early 2007 until last week. I ended up chasing my next dream and finding a Ferrari 550 Maranello that I wanted. For the Viper, while I maintained the car extremely well and kept meticulous records on it . . . one thing I never knew was the brand or...

    A little help please, 2000 RT/10....

    I actually was completely unable to get those speakers in the front to work . . . UNTIL, and this was alluded to earlier, I upgraded to RedLine Speaker Fluid. The factory speaker fluid simply ages over time, and it's not part of the regular service schedule . . . so often it goes unchanged. A...

    Help . . . New Viper Owner, Trouble. :(

    OK, guys . . . an update. I attached the permanent connections for the Battery Tender to the area under the hood on the driver's side. I can now conveniently connect and disconnect it when parked by pulling it through that vent. Now, I had the car on a Battery Tender for 3 days, it took that...

    Help . . . New Viper Owner, Trouble. :(

    Hey Guys, I need help. I hadn't gotten to drive my Viper for like 3 weeks 'cause of the constant downpours here in the North Texas area. Low and behold, the battery had died. I charged it up a bit and started the car. It sounded like it was "half" firing, like one bank of cylinders was...
