    Concerns on Viper SRT-10's

    Hi all, I've made a few posts asking y'all for advice, and had the opportunity to speak with a few of you on the phone, so I thank you for all your help. I've been tracking cars on ebay and craigslist for a while since I'm still kind of on the fence between a viper or, making a real estate...

    belanger headers and paxton

    You know, in the last 10 years I've always been on the fence about gauges. Fuel, oil pressure, and A/F or EGT - yes those are the health of the engine but if they go bad you are Fk'd already :) I do not know one person who has been saved by their gauges. It's usually fuel or Oil pump out in...

    Warranty affected by self-maintanance?

    How does doing maintenance yourself affect the warranty on a 3rd gen? I pretty much do my work and only take my cars in for 60k service/inspections, but with something like a Viper I don't want to screw myself by saving a few thousand by maintaining it myself but then paying 10,000 for a new...

    RT/10 vs. SRT

    Yeah I'm very sorry for posting a question that has doubtlessly been discussed a million times already. I was trying to decide between a Viper of Z06 last year and posted on this forum about it, I actually decided to make a downpayment and buy my first house instead (not really a house, more...

    RT/10 vs. SRT

    Much thanks for the responses! Question still remains though: given it's a tossup, it will be an uneccessary headache to fix age related issues with the rt/10. So if I pick up a '97 rt/10 with 5000 miles vs. an '03 SRT w/ 20k miles, will the rt/10 unreasonably susceptable to annoyances? I...

    RT/10 vs. SRT

    So I'm comparing these two. It seem a lot of GenII's have the same if not lower mileage than the newer SRTs? I want an open top so looking at the '97-'02 RT/10. I like the GenII styling better and it will be $10k cheaper as a bonus. I'm not too concerned about the performance, since I just...

    Need ownership advice

    I see, good to hear. The paint on my WRX was very thin and fragile - there wasn't so much rock chips as dirt sized chips on the bumper.

    Need ownership advice

    O actually few more questions for the daily drivers out there 1. Paint/body/trim/glass resistance to the environment? (rock chips and the like) Any issues with clear bras? 2. 7 year extended warranties for the '03/'04s worth it? Seems to be only a couple thousand. 3. Tires...

    Need ownership advice

    Very cool replies. The SRT10 also seems to have stabilized in its depreciation unlike the z06, I'm feeling good about this car! Thanks guys, I hope to be meeting those of you from the SF bay area in a few months.

    Need ownership advice

    I'm looking between a 996tt, z06 and SRT-10 and I think it's boiling down to hassle of ownership. I've got a buddy who daily drives his 06 z06, put 15k miles on it this past year and it's holding up fine. I've got another buddy w/ an '01 996tt and he says oil changes are $300, that the engine...
