Eric from Madison, IN. I plan to buy a Viper, right now, just a dream really. I'm probably at least 5 years away. I'd like to have an 03-06, Silver Vert with the H Wheels. We've been on one income for about 6 years, and now that my wife has completed school and secured a job, it's time to start saving. Obviously, costs will come down on the years I'm looking at, so it's a dream I should be able to realize within the next few years (I don't plan on taking a loan out).
A few questions I have (I've been reading and reading and reading.)
Is there a mileage limit I should be concerned about when considering a vehicle? Obviously, I'll be looking for one with all the maintenance records and one from a respectable individual. The reason I ask is because a couple of years ago I bought a Twin Turbo Dodge Stealth with 70K on it, one owner, and it was immaculate. I ended up doing some exhaust and suspension upgrades on it, and the bolts came off with hand tools.
I have the "disease" as some here put it, so I won't be able to leave it alone without doing at least some exhaust upgrades. How susceptible are the Vipers to "breaking" when more power is introduced? The only real thing I had to worry about on the Stealth was the motor mounts. The 12 year old stock rubber ones just didn't last, and I added poly and solid mounts.
Thanks in advance for the replies. Like I said, I've read quite a few threads here, and there are some really good people, and I'm sure I can learn a lot and I really look forward to the day that I have my Viper.
Here are a couple of pics of the Stealth. I sold it to get my Viper fund started. I'm working my butt off, because I really miss having a high performance car that makes passing a breeze.
