Drilled brake rotors 97 GTS
Slotted are good, drilled are not good. We used to call them "holy" rotors. The holes fill up with caked brake dust and are a mess to clean with an air hose and, yes, they are notorious for cracking around the hole edges.- Frank Parise

Wheel Alignment Pricing
You are fortunate to live close to Woodhouse Dodge. If you think it is poor value, I suggest you make plans to stay the entire day and watch how it is done by the Viper Tech. You will learn the complexity and see how it is done right. All Dodge dealers are not the same.- Frank Parise

Lightweight flywheel and new clutch
Used a Tilton triple disc racing clutch with lightweight flywheel in a couple different road racing Vipers. Would not recommend for street application because you will burn up the clutch with normal street driving/clutch slipping. Revs much quicker/ takes some getting used to.- Frank Parise

$45,000 Offer on 1993 Viper Do I wait for him so he can buy it?
I do not believe there is a legally binding contract, certainly not one that you should rely upon. Move on and sell to a real buyer.- Frank Parise

K&N Filter Cleaning Frequency?
I'm not aware of anyone in the Viper Racing League ever using something other than K&N. As I recall, all GEN 2 ACR Vipers came from the factory with K&N.- Frank Parise

K&N Filter Cleaning Frequency?
I've always used them on my Vipers without any issues whatsoever. I inspect them on every oil change, and use judgment as to whether a cleaning and re-oiling is necessary.- Frank Parise

Ground height - Lowered?
Jack up your car, put it on jack stands, pull off the wheels, post a photo of your springs/shocks on both front and rear. Easy diagnosis.- Frank Parise

GTS vs ACR
Since you live in Kuwait, I'd focus on an RT/10. The ACR was produced for easy conversion into an SCCA Class T1 road racer. None of the changes in the ACR vs. the GTS made it more conducive for street use. Hell, I figure you would get your head chopped off in Kuwait for street racing :)- Frank Parise

First Time Gen II GTS Buyer - Need Advice
JUST MY OPINION: You should spend more time doing your search. There are plenty of GEN2 GTSs for sale in the 40's-50's. You don't need to deal with a car having internal engine mods as it increases the risk of engine failure. Also diminishes sales value of car.- Frank Parise
