    $2000 Price Drop on Viper GTS

    After moving two cars to extract one out of the garage, this 'lack of space' issue is getting more acute. So I have authorized a price drop (to a committee that included basically me) for the Viper GTS. Drove it earlier this week, fired up first time, ran great. Car is such a champ and will...

    STOP! Someone is about to steal my Viper GTS!

    Well, maybe 'steal' is a little strong. After 5 years of super fun, very rewarding ownership, and a tremendous amount of help from this forum, I am reluctantly moving out of Viper ownership. At least for now. Over time, you guys and ladies have helped me not panic when my temp gauge pegged...

    My Low Mile Steel Gray GTS Coupe is doing the unthinkable....

    Anybody Have a Sneaky Pete Wheel Center?

    Went to tire shop to get new PS2 rears. In the process, they scratched a wheel pretty good. Not completely trusting 'their' wheel repair guy, I took matters into my own hands and got my guy to do it at my garage. The tire shop was very fair, apologetic. Got my tires. In the process of my...

    Thoroughly Rewarding Upgrade

    I recently embarked on changing out my wimpy horns for the 'compact Italian' ones from Griots. When I yanked my front end, I cleaned up all that stuff (in another thread) and fitted the driving lens covers from earlier cars. Then, the Klearz side markers. All going well. The Viper disease is...

    Pics of driving lens slots?

    Got my new driving lens covers to retrofit to my GTS. Found 'about' how they line up, but am now begging/hoping anyone has a picture of the world-famous 'slots' in their front fascia. Figured if I was going to screw it up, may as well do it as close to factory as possible! Thanks in advance.

    Fascia removed, need driving lens

    To put in my new Italian "get out of my freakin way" horns, I had to remove the front half of my car. Okay, just the fascia but still. I plan to clean out the 12 pounds of lady bugs, grit, leaves, and 10 years of accumulated filth in there. You guys wouldn't believe what my 16k mile car has...

    What Did I Do Wrong? Clutch Reeks

    Admission: I did a bad, immature thing. I am under a little 'stress' at work. (Any business owners out there?) Business is maybe 'too' good at the moment, bringing deadlines, demands. Whatever. I left work today in a foul frame of mind. Like the inexcusable kicking of a dog, Viper got the...

    Wimpy Horn Update

    I'd researched threads here about updating the very mild-mannered horn in my 2000GTS. No, I don't use it a lot, but when I do, I don't want people looking around for the minivan that made the noise. After reading some threads, I got the 'Compact Italian Air Horn' from Griots and THEN...

    Factory Black Gen 2 Mats Anyone?

    I just got lucky and found a set of Cognac mats for my GTS. Not the easiest things to find, nor the least expensive. When I got them, I noticed a 'cut out' at the hatch handle where my previous mats were straight. Never even noticed the lack. Anyway, this means my factory black mats (small...

    Crispy Snake anyone?

    My 2000 GTS is a very literal 'hot' rod. No, it didn't catch fire or melt, but in Alabama, 'melting' is an actual season of the year. As temps climb outside, my 'stock' car is not helping the temps inside. Yes, this is another 'side sill/exhaust' post. If you find you're beccoming violent at...

    Anyone heading to Barber Motorsport this weekend?

    Hi There, Late notice here, but my son and I are planning to drive up to Bham for the Porsche 250/Grand Am race on Sunday. Planning to take the Viper and wondered who was going? Any parking arrangements through the club? Just checking.

    Sort of disturbing Dealer and AC quote

    When I first got my Viper (2000 GTS, 11k miles) last fall, we had a few hot days left in the season. The local seller told me his AC wasn't cold anymore, and the dealer had quoted something that - to me - sounded a bit outrageous for "a hose" replacement around $700. The seller was nice enough...

    No room in the sill for heat shield wrap...

    Took my side sills off today after having read virtually every "side sill heat" post imaginable. Must've missed the ones that said there's NO ROOM to actually put the Roe wrap on the catalytic converter. My cat TOUCHES the factory heat shield both above and to the sill side. Factory...

    Wizardry in Action - The Return of Chucky

    Gosh, you'd think Chuck the Wizard Tator would've gotten all smug at the 10,000 maniac support group that vocalized a Frankenstein's Castle raid during Chrylser's bout with temporary insantity to close him down. But no, Chuck is still Chuck. I called to buy parts from him during his...

    Intake Tubes Improve Sound?

    I replaced my original corrugated factory intake tubes (aka Laundromat Dryer Hose) with smooth tubes from JonB. Already had a K&N stuffed in there. I drove the car a lot today and the car SEEMED to sound a bit raspier. Am I delusional? Do the intake tubes amplify the exhaust note at all...

    Wow! I have a V10!

    After years of 'other' sports car ownership, yesterday I traded my Porsche 996tt for an '00 GTS Viper. Big time 'wow'. I wanted one when they originally came out, loved the body style and menacing V10. I watched this board for a while to see what I might be getting into... so a belated...
