    2002 ACR Final Edition... Anybody Here ?

    It's funny to me that some people (viper owners themselves) don't believe that prices on these cars are going up. It's almost a cognitive dissonance. You begin to talk about the cheap prices so much that you eventually defend that more vehemently than you really want to. Just an observation...

    Another what's it worth thread

    It's sad as it is always the same people responding too negatively or positively; both using personal opinion and using that as factual information. "It's fair market." blah blah blah. We aren't in econ 101 and ebay isn't the only place to buy a viper. I was just outside in my garage and...

    My Solid Silver 98 GTS is now in the classifieds.

    Ebay will reflect the market value which SHOULD be 35k for this kind of car and mods. I would be very surprised if this car does not sell on ebay. You are going to get the exact same recommendations. If you have been putting it on ebay, AT and CL with no response...then lowering price will be...

    Worth???? 2000 Rt10

    Sorry, misread. I guess then it depends on what it is worth to the OP. If you desires a 1 owner car that is supposedly "scratch free" (which is pretty hard to find) and it is the color you want with options...this may fetch higher than 35k if the owner isn't in a rush. I would rather pay a...

    Worth???? 2000 Rt10

    If you can wait a bit, you will get more. You have a desirable colour, good upgrades, perfect condition and ONE owner...that red for 35k probably had more owners. I would rate yours above that. Ebay usually gets better steals. So I think 38-40k if you can wait for the buyer that will...

    How much of attention getter are Vipers?

    I am a therapist by trade and this thread is really ironic in a way. At least the OP stated the obvious (he likes attention). If anyone thinks they bought this car strictly just for performance reasons; they are delusional. I don't care what dissonance you are trying to alleviate by saying...

    GTS sway bar bushings

    Are you talking about the end links? Those things are like 175 bucks a piece....talk about Viper tax on those.....

    dont shoot me..91 nsx vs 2003 viper interior

    Im not gonna hate Twister...but damn...take the key out of the ignition or turn the lights off..whatever was making that annoying beeping sound....argh I was getting pissed off. I could hear it during your NSX take as well. But you have two very nice rides. I always loved the NSX but feel they...

    viper gts vs mustang gt500????

    The 2011 is a beast. I like the exterior and the interior is really nice. It is hard to hate on that car as they are very easy and cheap to modify. One car I regret ever getting rid of was my 2003 sonic blue cobra. It was very fast, very reliable and it is hard to beat the sound of a DOHC V8...

    Black cars, black cars look better in the shade

    That picture should be the "end tread" pic when a "What gen looks best" thread comes up:D

    Grrrrr Belt flew off again

    Definitely rich or dumb? Constructive. You don't even know me. Anyway, getting a new bolt tomorrow and will retorque with a wrench to correct spec. Balancer appears OK

    Grrrrr Belt flew off again

    thanks....that is way more than I was expecting. I thought it would be around 175 ft lbs. I am going to have to buy a new air gun. Is there anything on the crankshaft I should inspect to see if I have damaged anything besides the bolt? The bolt is definitely toast and am getting a new bolt...

    Grrrrr Belt flew off again

    What is the correct torque to use on the crank dampener? I am going to let the loctite red set and put the belt back on so that I can get the car to a dealership.

    Grrrrr Belt flew off again

    Does anyone have the service manuel for the required torque for the crank dampener for a 2000 GTS ACR?

    Grrrrr Belt flew off again

    Thanks for the replies; how much is the crank?

    Grrrrr Belt flew off again

    Well I was driving and smooth sailing until I decided to gun it and test out my new PS2's that I haven't broken in yet....and what a beautiful thing they are. I had a beautiful run; until my power steering and AC went out. Took a look at the temp gauge....250. FAWK. So I drove it 3 blocks to...

    New member, New viper!

    NICE car. I wouldn't lower the car anymore though; looks pretty slammed to me. Just get some better tires.

    Learning so much about cars from owning my viper

    aha.....that is exactly what happened. I will get it erased then. on another note; sway bar end link bushings.....wtf. My bushings are beat but am not spending 200 a pop. Isn't someone here trying to use Dakota ones? That would be interesting and cost effective.

    Learning so much about cars from owning my viper

    Well it has been over one year of owning my 2000 GTS ACR and am learning quite a bit about cars since buying. I would advise anyone who isn't rich (like me) to strongly consider the opportunity costs before buying a used expensive car. I made a post a year ago about valve cover paint bubbling...

    Generations

    I think that pretty much sums it up. But why does, in your opinion, the paint on the old gts look better? I have a 2000 gts acr and my wife's only preference on the new gen 4's is that the paint looks much higher quality and I tend to concur.

    gen2 vs gen3 looks yet again

    I think the new coupes do look "newer" but that doesn't really make a car look better. The GTS is really is a timeless design as it flows perfectly. I love how the doors curve out and down to the hood which then curves up then out again (if that makes sense). The gas cap placement is perfect...

    gen2 vs gen3 looks yet again

    In the looks department I don't think it is subjective as people say. There are trends that are indicative of beauty in people, cars, homes, etc. People can obviously prefer something else but it won't reflect what most believe. Curves tend to not only look better on cars; they age better...

    1996 viper gts or 06 coupe

    Its funny, when people discuss gen 2 Vs. gen III/IV, it ALWAYS turns into looks. Despite newer generations being better in almost every aspect, it's about the looks...and it should be. Interiors, brakes, etc can ALWAYS be changed and will ALWYS look dated. However no one buys a viper for...

    selling my '99 gts for $29k

    Well I think the "market will speak" and I have a feeling it may be more than what the forum is quoting you. You were selling for 29k and no one bit on the forum. I really really hope that you get more than 30k on this. Ebay isn't the best place to sell but I have had luck selling cars for...

    Might trade 09 Vette on 97 GTS. Opinion...

    Thats lame. The vette is the "real deal." You don't know the OP or his situation, but don't assume because he didn't get this viper that he cannot afford it. These cars now are NOT a rich person's car. I have one, and I am not rich. I am completely dependent on my and my wife's income. New...
