    a couple of newbie questions

    the rpm at 70mph should be like 1800rpm if was stock so i assume it has had the rear end changed. the car is a torque monster so you need to use a light foot when youre learning to drive it. make sure the tires are in good shape and less than 7 years old. get the car on a lift and give all the...

    1996 GTS on E-Bay with only 3,800 Miles, $59.9K, Good Deal?

    recall 998 wan NOT done. looks like it needs a cleaning, tires, and the fluids changed. 96/97 are up in value and this car is a little strong but not outrageous. looks like a honest car from what i can tell.

    How to know if a rescue attempt makes sense

    thats a shame. when owners refuse to see the true value of a car like that its destine to just rot to death until there is nothing left. no one will pay anywhere near that amount of money so that guy will probably just let that car sit indefinitely and it will end up in a junk yard years or...

    How to know if a rescue attempt makes sense

    i agree with viper john. 20k is too high with all the unknowns. probably 1500 for tires and assume the whole trans needs a replacement if they cant fix just the 4th gear cog or whatever it is. all fluids and filters probably a few hundred if you do them yourself. the big question is the unknown...

    How to know if a rescue attempt makes sense

    the body parts are the big ticket items so if they are damaged you might want to pass it up. if the body is ok you might want to try and jump it and see that happens. the mechanicals aren't too price and used parts are available from several places. keep in mind that car in pristine condition is...

    Gen 1 engine vs gen 2 engine

    https://www.hotrod.com/articles/how-the-viper-engine-got-its-horsepower/ both are good but i think the 96-99 engines are best if youre going to do some serious upgrades.

    Next Gen Viper 2020-2021?

    I think that’s a possibility and probably a better one, if they’re going to completely change the car call it something else. If they don’t do a viper or something similar they really won’t have a sports car in their lineup just muscle cars.

    Next Gen Viper 2020-2021?

    I think it’s extremely unlikely the current 707 engine will make it into the Viper for several reasons. 1. The weight, The Viper is designed to be a lightweight sports car. The hellcat engine is a boat anchor and probably weights 100-150lbs more than the current V10 due to the iron block and...

    Next Gen Viper 2020-2021?

    if they do bring the viper back the car will be designed for the mass market and become more main stream like the vette. this probably mean the focus is more about being cost effective and economical. i wont be surprised if it has a less powerful engine, automatic/pattle option, softer ride...
