    A few 02 questions

    Did the 02 GTS come with Koni shocks (blue) as OEM equipment? Can someone tell me what RPM they are turning with 3.55 in the rear say in 6 gear doing 80 mph, or some other combination. I want to confirm if I still have stock ratio's in the car. I am curious because a previous owner drilled...

    I have been so busy with cleaning, looking at it, etc have not taken one pic. Today was removing the airbox, cleaning everything. Removing the 4 wheels and cleaning everything including the inside of the wheels. Also found that the brake pads are EBC greens, plus did a grease job. Found a...

    The drive from Woodhouse to my house is over. Left Woodhouse at 10am and was home at 4:30pm. The only damage to the car from the drive is one small rock chip in the windshield. Dumbass in a suzuki whatever just had to get in front of me and then bam. No other damage. Have to check with...

    Full coverage on financed Viper?

    You may be able to reduce the $$ by reducing the amount of miles driven per year. At least with State Farm I tell them how many miles and it does reduce my cost of insurance. My cost for full coverage with State Farm will be less than $800/yr with no more than 7500 miles/yr of driving. I...

    Viper Bra for sale/rent near Kansas City?

    Define what you mean by racing tape. I have used painters tape then applied duct tape over it. I did not want the aggressive glue on duct tape on the paint. I used this while running the silverstate classic events. Put it on the entire front bumper and rear panels. I also happened to find...

    New Owner of fastest color combo

    RX, pm sent. Look forward to it. I think NASA should stick to rockets and zero gravity cause they don't know anything about the power of color! Car is not even here yet and I am biased. The wait is going to kill me, it is starting to sink in that I will actually have a Viper soon. I have...

    Need help in Kansas...Car Inspection and Transport

    Only thing I can offer is that you have serious construction delays at the texas/okla border. They are working on the bridge and delays of 1-2 hours is the norm. Plan accordingly. There is also come construction in OKC as well. I have done the kansas border/dallas drive probably 30 times...

    Question about new stowable hard top, Who has one???

    Well hell. I had decided about 2 months ago that I was getting a GTS because of the issues with the top(s). Now I may have to reconsider. Does anyone in the St. Louis area have one of these newer tops so that I can see the car before I make my final decision on which car to get? In the pics...

    So I got pulled over again yesterday....

    I would log each and every time a cop follows you or swings by your house. If you are truely innocent then having this in the future might help. Don't know why but you never what value you might have. Especially if they continue to pull U turns to follow you. Next time that happens, pull...

    5 pt harness question - what do you do w/ them when not in use?

    Check to make sure your local/state laws allow for them. I can't remember which state they were not legal in my Cobra. I had 5 points as well. Also, can't remember if the issue was with DOT certification or airbag deployment. I am assuming yours are aftermarket adds to the car, not factory...

    96 or 97????

    I don't think you can lose with either the 96 or 97. In 96 they made 1163 and in 97 they made 965 BW. Only difference between the years, 96 had polished cast aluminum wheels, 97 had polished forged aluminum. Stripes on 97 do not pass through the license plate opening in the rear and they are...

    Looked at a 2001 GTS, almost.

    Went to a local dealer unannounced to view a 2001 GTS. Walked in and did not see the car. Ask the sales guy walking buy if the car had already been sold. He said, no the car is not here. I asked where is the car thinking it may be at another lot or location. He made a few comments that...

    First ticket in the viper

    Are you sure it is legal for him to stand outside and stop all traffic like that? Of course in VA you may be screwed, that is one state I don't even like to visit. Might be worth a 1/2 hour of a lawyers time to find out what is legal and not legal in your area. Cops like that deserve the...

    Would you buy this Viper

    I think the price is high, my guess would be $48-49k. Assuming no mods no issues and even better an extended warranty. Does this car have the Gold or Yellow wheels? If it does that could be worth alittle more. I have thought about buying one with Gold wheels, taking the wheels off and replace...

    New Here..Got Mine Finally!!! Pics

    I would consider keeping the stock wheels. They are worth quite abit now and if you ever decide to sell the car you have the original equipment. Being an ACR that could prove profitable at that time. Think about the value of the wheels in the future rather than the lust of the new wheels...

    Will this devalue my car?

    IMHO, with the salvage title do what you want. The person who will buy it later if you sell it is not looking for a pristine car. If it looks good and you keep it simple with mods you should get a good price relative to what you paid for it.

    selling my FE

    I hope you got my joke above!! Anyway, I don't have a Viper yet, but as a buyer I would offer this. A serious buyer should know something about them. Not every nut and bolt but certainly the basics. Not all may have ever driven or maybe even been in one...like me. I can respect the seller...
