My father is looking into a 2000 RT 10 Viper. It's at a dealership, and had 35,000 miles on it. My pops is good friends with the service manager, who says the car was a daily driver in California before it was traded in. Anyway, the car has been at the dealership for a long time, and my dad is considering making an offer. He's competely internet phobic, so I though I'd get on here and ask a couple questions for him:
What typically needs repaired/replaced at this mileage?
The dealership is willing to provide an extended warranty on anything oil touches. Engine components, rear end, trans, etc... The clutch was specifically left out though. Are the clutches prone to failure with aggressive street use?
My family and I was under the impression that a 2000 RT10 would be rated at 450 HP. Is that correct, the dealership is claiming 460? What kind of dyno numbers (dynojet, SAE corrected) could we expect from this car?
I seem to remember reading that the 99 model year had forged pistons, where other years did not. Is that correct, and is there anything year specific to the 2000?
What years had adjustable pedals?
Thanks guys!
