    Supercharger

    MilesB...my vortech was a model S on a 1994 383 vette. It was installed in 1998. The noise was a combination whine and whistle. Sounded great to me!!! I was just so surprised to NOT hear any S/C sound on the 96 GTS last Friday.

    Supercharger

    Have never heard a ROE S/C Viper...but, I rode in BlownGTS's 96 (Paxton) on 5/21. There was absolutely NO blower whine, whistle, or any other noise...in and out of the car and with the hood opened and closed. You could hear my Vortech coming from a block away, but the Paxton was silent. I have...

    Price of GTS???

    Please help! What is a ballpark price range for a low mileage 96 or 97 GTS in blue with white stripes? This would be for either stock or minor mods like catback system, smooth tubes and filters, factory or aftermarket wheels. Also, would like to know where the rear speakers are for these two...

    BlownGTS...what a ride!!!

    Just got back home from a visit to Underground Racing in Charlotte, NC. Went down to meet with Kevin and take a look at the 96 blown GTS. Beautiful car and a very wicked sound. As for the ride...hey, I thought you only got whiplash from an auto accident? WOW...so that is what a mid 9 sec car...

    Question on ACR fog lamps

    Chuck...as a matter of fact, I believe I have an excellent record in accurate forecasts. If I remember correctly, in a career spanning 43 years, I was right about three times!!! On the fog lamp issue, I don't have my first Viper yet. I was just curious because pic after pic of ACRs showed them...

    Question on ACR fog lamps

    I know fog lamp delete is part of the ACR option and the comfort group only puts back a/c and stereo. However, in almost EVERY pic of an ACR I see, the fog lamps are there. So...to all you ACR owners out there...is adding the fogs back in the popular route for most ACRs??? If you get them added...

    Any Opinions on Red Viper Letters on red car or to get chrome?

    I agree with Todd...the 01 Sapphire letters or chrome would look great on your red!

    04 SRT 10 Red for 73k good deal???

    Probably a good deal. A new untitled SRT10 can be had for $77,500 (includes $3k guzzler tax). So, if this one has been titled, you would save the guzzler tax, effectively making the "new" price $74,500. For the 300 miles on it, you are getting another $1500 off. OR...if it is untitled, you are...

    Luxury Tax???

    RavenFan_94...search the Gen I/Gen II Forum for my post on the luxury tax...posted by vette2viper and titled... "Gen II and Luxury Tax" Ron is right...a dealer should not use that...it is totally false. Not only did it end, the tax law pertains to WHEN you buy an untitled car, not the year of...

    SRT Invoice Pricing

    The dealer I've been talking with will sell a new SRT-10 for $77,500 (includes gas guzzler and destination). As to a cash sale, this dealer has been selling Vipers since day one...locally, across the states, and overseas. In all those years, he has had only ONE Viper financed...all the rest were...

    GTS question

    Todd...thanks for the info. The $100k sticker is okay, but I don't think I want to wait over a year for my first Viper. At my age, I want time to enjoy it...LOL. So, will probably keep looking for a nice 2001-2000 GTS, maybe add a 04 SRT10, and have seem some nice Prowlers...really great looking...

    Gen II and Luxury Tax

    Toby...yes, that is an ideal way to purchase. I just wanted to point out the "no luxury tax" issue for anyone that finds an untitled car. Saving the gas guzzler tax would be frosting on the cake! Hmmmm...could buy more mods! GTSREDDOG...no, haven't seen any yellow GTSs yet, but if so, I will...

    B&B exhaust

    Bob...my reference to Borla and B&B sounding obnoxious was when installed on a C5 Vette. No, not muscle car, but very annoying...tons of resonance, which to me is the hardest to live with. From other posts here, I gather that the Vipers don't have that problem...or maybe it is minimal...

    Gen II and Luxury Tax

    It's my understanding that the "gas guzzler tax" is here to stay. As for luxury tax, I don't know the old rate of taxation, but heard it was as high as $5,000. So, saving that gives you some pocket change for new exhaust, shifter, and other goodies!

    Gen II and Luxury Tax

    Hi All...I'm sure most of you already know this, but thought if it even helped one person, it would be with the post. Since the automobile luxury tax is NO longer in effect, I did some research on it. I happen to be looking for a 2001/2002 and have found some still at the dealerships, untitled...

    > What do you guys think of the SRT/10 with the autoform kit - PICS! <

    IMHO...your setup is a 100% improvement! I would choose it in a heartbeat. Very nice.....

    Aftermarket Exhaust Question

    Thanks for the info. Since the C5 Vette is NOT a true dual exhaust car, the change from the factory H pipe to the X pipe was very significant. The H pipe had a very small hole and could do little to allow proper crossover. The aftermarket H pipe had a very large passage and really helped with...

    Aftermarket Exhaust Question

    I'm looking for a 2001-2002 GTS and expect to modify the exhaust (Corsa). My question is...does the 01/02 GTS have an X or H crossover pipe? My C5 vette had a factory H pipe, which caused the famous motor boating or burble at idle and the popping during shifting and decel. By going with the X...

    B&M Ripper Shifter ?

    I'm still searching for my 1st Viper, but I can pass this on to you. When I had the Vettes, I went with the Kirban Qwik Shifter instead of the B&amp;M Ripper (on a C5). Most of my fellow Vette owners liked the shifting characteristics much better than the B&amp;M. B&amp;M was much stiffer and a...
