    Considering a 2000 GTS

    Some very early build 2000 models had a different cylinder bore liner that was extremely durable if the piston rings were properly seated, some people had issues with proper break-in miles and had oil consumption issues. Most of these cars were fixed under warranty. All GTS Vipers up through...

    GTS Silhouette drawing

    Your welcome, I wish Mopar still made this shirt. I really like it because its subtle and doesn't say Viper or anything else on it. Those in the know get it, and those who don't, we'll I don't care about them anyway.

    Thinking about getting some new heads as my next upgrade... Questions.

    No I don't, however I went through this whole ordeal years ago, and I do remember talking to someone who had the heads and was really disappointed with the results. The same sentiment was echoed by a very reputable viper tuner/ modifier. Needless to say I'm very happy with my cylinder head...

    lost driver side sill bolt any suggestions for size 02 GTS

    I used red loctite on the stock screws for years, but pulling the side sills off one too many times finally forced the change over to rivnuts. I think I have detailed pics in a post I did about it. The only downside to rivnuts is that the overhanging rivnut gets hung up on the side sill thermal...

    Thinking about getting some new heads as my next upgrade... Questions.

    Okay youv'e been given a bunch of misinformation. Mopar has a kit that's built for the Gen III Viper that swaps Gen IV heads as well as all the goodies necessary to make the swap happen. Your best bet is to either wait for the rumored Mopar kit that will do the same for the Gen II (don't hold...

    Ran a 10 with Bad air last night in my Gen 4 VOI :)

    Awesome time! Nothing like a street car that runs 10s.

    Window Sticker

    You can copy a similar one and have a fake one made up, unless you trace the original one down. The original Monroney stickers had the buyers name printed on it, if it was special ordered. The VCA has a reprint program but your car is too old.

    Corsa Exhaust Installed

    I had the Titanium exhaust they made for the Vettes back in 2002. It was 35 lbs lighter than stock. I've been bugging Corsa about building a system for the Viper for the past 8 yrs. seems they are not interested. They claim the war effort has taken all the Titanium availabillity away. I'm...

    Gen 2 to Gen 4 Engine Modification

    Looks to be a very interesting build. What are you going to do about the headers?

    Hertz to start renting Vipers

    With a rental rate starting at $1,500 - $2,700 per day I'm sure the collision rate will be minimized. Not exactly the rent a racer rates of the past.

    250 miles in on my Viper - a few things I don't like...

    PeerBlock, I've got a suggestion for you, and I think DoctorBob pretty much nailed it............... You should just stop for a moment, take a breath and actually go to a VCA club event. Your points on the new car are understood by many and valid, however the Vipers appeal and client list is...

    Future values of ACRs

    You are correct, however they are both based directly off of the street car and look very similar to their inferior cousins. It's best that I don't have the means, because they would end up on the street.:D

    SRT Viper vs SLS AMG Black Series

    I'm not offended by that review, it's probably pretty accurate and manuals are completely archaic and much slower than the dual clutch automatics. I still prefer the manual and love the Viper for it, however the truth is that guys like me are a dying breed (literally). Thank you Dodge for...

    Another loose Crank bolt...kind of

    Before you tap anything, I'd wait for the new bolt, lubricate it and run it into your crank. See how far the bolt will go in with your hand. Ensure that the crank has enough thread to accomodate the balancer at it's final torque position. Anotherwords, the bolt isn't bottoming out on the threads...

    Another loose Crank bolt...kind of

    Make sure you use a proper tap! Most commercial taps are designed to oversize the threads, you can effectively destroy your crank in the process of doing this. You should purchase a bottoming tap from a machine shop supply that meets the factory designed tolerances, otherwise you'll end up with...

    Future values of ACRs

    ACR's will always bring in the bigger money. What's worth more, an original Z-28 or a stock Camaro. Same holds true with any performance car. How much more, depends on what is desired by people at that time. Ten years ago "red" cars always seemed to bring in the money at Barrett Jackson, they...

    Streaming live LeMans?

    It's obvious that the cars are restricted to a point of castration. Time to stop crying about the old Oreca days, different rules, different cars, different era. Time to move forward and understand that these cars require more development for the current set of restrictions placed on them. The...

    GTS-R ALMS Race Monterey 5/10-5/12, 2013

    One thing you have to consider with these cars is that they are highly restricted. That is ALMS decides what restrictions are placed on the cars. When I watched the race a few weeks ago and saw the Z-4 rip by the Viper on the back stretch I was reminded of that issue. At VOI I recalled that the...

    Rob I'd think about 10k. :)

    11.1@ 127 Pretty strong!

    That sounds like a serious leap in performance. The majority of these mythical times people convince themselves that their car can accomplish tend to come from the Northeast. It's always that one great run on the absolute perfect day with atmosphere below sea level that everyone posts. How about...
