    -OPTIONS- stripes and stereos

    When it comes to options on the GenII GTS: Back in the day, were "stripes" an option, or was the car considered "stripes delete" when it had no stripes? What about 1996 when they all had stripes? How about stereo/AC, is the comfort group considered an option? even though most cars came...

    ACR - No Reserve auction 11 hours left!

    11HOURS left in auction. $30K This looks like a sweet car... I have never heard of the "ACRplus" option. Is this legit or is it considered a dealer OEM aftermarket part? that no one cares about. I can't find any mention of this "plus" option on this forum. Either way I would like to know more...

    Swap the Mufflers?

    I love the sound of my Belangers until I don't. The Belanger is just a non serviceable glasspack from what I can see. I repack my motorcycles every 5000 because they start to get a little different pitch when they break down. Repack and they come back to life. I've squelched the drone at...

    Speakers Fried

    The exhaust note from my Belanger is the primary reason I need more wattage. Im using the car for some spirited recreation, and some grand touring in the future. I also have two other open header, peace destroying vehicles that scare women and children and set off car alarms so my viper is for...

    Speakers Fried

    Yes thank you, I know of crutchfield etc. What I wanted to know is brand names and models that fit well in a GTS without cutting or trimming. Online Car stereo lists 6.5"d as the correct size but previous posts describe a tough fit. My grills measure out at 5.5" so I'm not sure of where the...

    Charge Rate Battery Tender

    Will a Battery Tender Jr. @.75 amps keep a car battery in good shape for winter, or do I need the full size @1.25 amps? I only need it for maintenance, not for bringing dead batteries back to charge.

    2002 ACR final edition

    there was an FE ACR on Ebay in September and another at one of the dealers sites I was lurking on. Both places had $64K for the ask? I remember because I was looking all year and never saw one until September. I was all in on the FE ACR but changed my mind. Only real reason to go FE is if you...

    2000 GTS - Price Question

    Just went down this path myself. In Colorado, purchased in TX, new to Vipers. Find what ever you can around town with various mileage to test drive. You'll see what appropriate wear and tear looks like as well as some examples that have been less cared for. All examples will show some wear, and...

    Current market value for a '99 ACR

    Bought my 1 owner red 2001 ACR for 47K in August, Dallas TX from a dealer. Mine had 9000 miles on it. Belanger full system. Winter is definitely a softer market, I'd say (-2K). ACR makes it a quicker sell and about (+4K) over a gts of equal mileage.
