Viper Owner
Hi Guys!
I am a new Viper owner (first post!). I just bought my 1999 GTS (Red, Silver Stripes) w/ 12K miles from SW at Elite Motorsports in Austin, TX!
Wanted to get a 1999 'cause it's the last year of the forged engine, so took a little bit of time to find the right car. And, judging by other threads on this forum, apparently I overpaid. But, I wanted to find the right car, a very clean one. It's my first one (and first American car, for that matter), and I'm very excited about it! I take delivery of it on Monday.
It is mostly stock, 'cept it has a Corsa Cat-Back exhaust, K&N Filters, and a stereo. (I think, will know more when I see the car on Monday.)
Don't lynch me, but I am also a Supra TT owner . . . so I have experience with fast cars in general (my Supra put down a hair over 730 RWHP). It's been fun modifying this car over the last 10 years. My Supra Modifying it is half the fun, so time for a new project! I wanted a car that would be a "future classic/collectible" as well, and I wanted to try my hand with a different kind of horsepower.
I'm excited to try my new Viper's launching ability, low end torque, and track skills!
I am going to keep the modding light to start, but then hope to do a big FI car once I feel the car out for a while.
I had a couple questions I was hoping some of you guys could help me with.
It looks like there is a small gap above my driver's side headlight and the hood. I hear this is common, and I know this car's never been in an accident. Shown here:
Is that normal? Is there an easy tweak, fix for it?
Also, I was looking on this website at the Build Information. It seems numbers for 1999 build production were left off. How do I find out how many Red/Silver Striped '99 GTS's were built?
Thanks for the help, guys, and I am going to try to stay active on here, as well.
