    Official ACR info

    I've never understood what the point of comparing a stock Viper to a stock Vette is. Why not compare your specific car to someone else's specific car? If you want 675HP or 1000HP, get it and don't worry about how a stock Viper and stock Vette compare. Bench racing extraordinaires.

    What is my 97' GTS Blue/White worth?

    There are essentially two different types of Vipers for sale... Vipers that are "For Sale," and Vipers that people actually want to sell. When I looked for my Viper a few months ago, I was able to find 4 GTS's in the midwest with comparable miles for the high $30K's. That said, the B/W color...

    Big guys driving viper

    6'6' 300 lbs. Tight fit in a GTS, but not uncomfortable enough to keep me out of it.

    If you were Cerebus, what would you do with the Viper?

    As far as marketability is concerned, there is one thing the Corvette has that the Viper does not, and that thing is the absolute key to the success or demise of the respective models. The golden ticket? Tiered pricing. If someone wants to buy a run-of-the-mill Corvette, they can pony up...

    Shameful: I Wrecked My Viper

    Yes, in Oklahoma City. Don't see too many Vipers around here, let alone down in Blanchard.

    Shameful: I Wrecked My Viper

    Yes, our turnpikes are concrete, but I haven't been out to inspect the area where I lost control. It would make sense that something was on the road though--I don't normally lose traction whatsoever in third gear.

    Shameful: I Wrecked My Viper

    I'm not 100% sure what will happen to the car. The front end is more messed up than it looks (i.e. hood, front facia, lights, etc. all damaged). I'll give a quick free plug for Chubb insurance here. Not only is the car on an agreed amount policy, but Chubb has told me that they will not...

    Shameful: I Wrecked My Viper

    Well, I have entered into the worst club possible--the single-car accident club. Two nights ago, I was getting on the turnpike, and when I shifted to third, the rear end went out from under me. Ultimately, I overcorrected, and headed for the grass between the highway and the ramp. Unbenownst...

    New Liscence plate ideas

    I hate vanity plates for one reason above all else... in college, I lost a bet to a friend, and he got to pick my vanity plate for a year. For an entire year, the license plate on my Honda was... 2COOL4U I swear I almost got my ass kicked on multiple occasions because of that stupid ass...

    New Liscence plate ideas

    It is beyond me why people think customized tags are cool in the first place, let alone a customized tag about someone else's car. IMO, the car itself should be the focus, not some quippy "OMGFAST" license plate. Let the people who drive run-of-the-mill sports cars have their fun with custom...

    Abbreviation for Torque

    I know this will probably exile me from the community, but I can't stand vanity license plates. 99.99% (no hyperbole) of them might as well say MEGAGAY because that's exactly what they are.

    Opinions on Kustom House of Kolors Paint vs. Stock Venom Red on my Street Serpent

    I used to have a show truck painted with HOK, and that truck literally looked like you could put your hand in it. HOK paint has a depth to it that I've never seen in any other paint.

    Car hit with Milkshake

    People with small minds will always continue to find things to occupy their time, be it vandalism or evangelism.

    SLP Shotgun Muffler/Resonator

    I was kinda wondering about this myself. There is a really experienced exhaust guy close to me, and he said he could fabricate a cat back system for around $800. I've been a little timid to give him the go ahead though.

    Viper vs Insurance co woes...Need a lawyer

    I know this doesn't help you, but it really is on topic. This is why you really should purchase your insurance through an independent agent. They represent both you and the company, and a good agent will have good relationships with the carriers. It also gives you someone to call and talk to...

    Squeaking Noise When Accelerating???!?!?!?

    My dad has said he smells a burning smell when he's been driving the car for a while and then he hits the gas fairly hard. I haven't noticed it like he has, so I didn't mention it before. Of course he's freaking out and wanting to take it to our Viper Tech.

    Squeaking Noise When Accelerating???!?!?!?

    See, I've searched through and read a lot of the threads on here about clutches going bad. My car shows none of the signs that most people mention like poor acceleration at low RPMs, RPMs spiking before acceleration kicks in, or being able to feel the clutch slipping. If I am going to...

    Squeaking Noise When Accelerating???!?!?!?

    Would this also cause an odd slightly burnt smell when giving the car hard throttle?

    Squeaking Noise When Accelerating???!?!?!?

    I'm familiar with what SC's and Turbos sound like, and it's nothing like the "breathy whine" those give off. This is more along the lines of a faint brake squeak, and it is coming from somewhere under the car. I am beginning to wonder if it could be clutch related.

    Squeaking Noise When Accelerating???!?!?!?

    No. The only mods are new air filters and an MGW shifter.

    Squeaking Noise When Accelerating???!?!?!?

    Okay. I've had my Viper for about 6 weeks now, but I recently discovered what might be a problem. When I am in low RPMs in any gear, when I first accelerate, there is a squeak that comes from somewhere under the car. It's not nearly as loud as a brake squeak, but it has kind of the same pitch...

    IMO, this will wreak havoc on Gen III owners trying to sell their cars.

    Buying a Viper on EBAY

    Just to chime in... I would never ever purchase the car sight unseen and have it shipped to me. At worst, I would fly out, have the car inspected by a mechanic after my personal inspection, and then have the shipper come get the car as I flew back home. After you drive it though, you'll...

    Some Guidance Would Be Helpful!

    I've been in a Corvette, and I've been in a Viper. I never had a single girl even do a double take at me when I was in the Vette, but I can't stop them from staring at me in the Viper. :D :D :D :D
