    ‘Viper in the Sky’

    Incredible video shows just how rough the ‘Viper in the Sky’ looked when it was taken down from a Kentucky dealership sign https://supercarblondie.com/dodge-viper-in-the-sky-taken-down-from-kentucky-dealership-sign/ I never saw this before. Some of you may have, but if you haven't, check it out!

    Where have we landed on side sill/cabin temp resolution?

    I've had Heatshield on my Viper for about 6 years. I also have high-flow cats. Definitely keeps the sill temps down. Have a good AC shop look at your system. I finally found a mechanic who knows what he's doing, and it made a huge difference in my cabin temps.

    Los Angeles Viper DRIVERS

    I live in a populated area of South Carolina. I see Corvettes every day. Outside of Cars and Coffee, I've seen only 4 Vipers in the last 8 years, and one of them is mine.

    Insurance Question

    I checked Grundy, and they wanted $560 (Hagerty was at $1566 plus $70 for their Club membership, which includes towing but has to be canceled separately). Grundy wanted the entire payment up front (no monthly payments allowed), plus photos of all four sides, the engine, and the interior, and a...

    Insurance Question

    I realize insurance for our Vipers has been discussed over the years, but prices seem to be changing rapidly. Hagerty raised my insurance by $300 from last year. No accidents, no tickets. I drive 2000 to 2500 miles annually. I have a $60,000 guaranteed value. Seventy percent of the cost is for...

    How much of a financial “burden” has your GTS been?

    You're doing a lot better than I am. Lots of repairs on mine. How many miles on your Viper?

    Sidesill Paint/Heat resolution?

    I had my exhaust wrapped with heatshield armor. High-flow cat (see pic). The cat was not wrapped as per installer. Also did paint correction and ceramic coating. See it here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXvdsqYtpp-/?igsh=MWRucWw1cWhpd2d5aA%3D%3D

    Is This A Door Sag/Hang Issue?

    Not sure if it's a door sag issue. I had a similar tear and used high-quality black electrical tape to fix it eight years ago. Still looks good, and with dozens of people checking out my car over the years at Cars & Coffee (and a few other shows), nobody has ever noticed it.

    How much of a financial “burden” has your GTS been?

    The cost of 4 tires averages $ 1,800, give or take. Try JonB or Tire Rack.

    Question regarding Viper oil filter.

    I've ordered Viper oil filters many times online. This one looks different (image 4230). The information is on a label attached to the filter, not printed on the filter. Came in a box marked properly, but it's different. Box is marked 05037836ab -001.

    How much of a financial “burden” has your GTS been?

    I bought a 2002 Viper from the original owner with 11,500 miles on it eight years ago. He had it for 15 years and rarely drove it. I put another 18,000 miles on the car since then. Same as Badinternet, I put a ton of money into it since I don't work on cars. Gaskets, hoses, AC system, slave...
