    Help Me Choose 02 GTS OR 03+ Viper

    Hi fellas I have always wanted a GTS and was hoping for a final edition 2002 and maybe an ACR. But seeing as that is 1 year away from the new body style I'd like to get opinions of owners who have owned both to see which I should buy. I honestly think I like the look of the 02 body...

    Be careful folks who you let work on your baby

    I have only met a couple of mechanics that I am comfortable with. I do not trust shops, I dont think, actually I almost know that nobody takes the care and does the job that I do on my cars. When I do not know how to do something I take it and I am always hands on. And there is always...

    Looking for a 2002 GTS ACR Graphite Color

    yeah basically I want a low mile 2002 ACR in Graphite ; ) I dont really care if the price goes up and down, I still want it and am going to drive it here and there on the weekends as I please. I will not be daily driving it and it will be a garage queen.

    Looking for a 2002 GTS ACR Graphite Color

    Again I appreciate your help, but have been around cars for a while and know what I want. I do not want a 38k mile car and I do believe that collectors do consider cars above 1,000 miles. Your points are good and generally valid but there are many grey areas such as a 5k mile 10k year old car...

    Looking for a 2002 GTS ACR Graphite Color

    Hi there, Thank you for the help and your opinion. I disagree that a car with 5k miles is worth the same as another with 38k miles to a collector. You may have a point that a 20 year old car with 38k miles would be a very low mile example but starting off at 38k miles today leaves no...

    Looking for a 2002 GTS ACR Graphite Color

    Very impressive but a ton of miles. Im looking for something that was not daily driven as a collector! That is the EXACT car I want though, It also has no stripes which was my wish or I would cover white stripes with flat black vinyl

    Would you recommend an ACR?

    How much power are people able to put out on the stock 00-02 engines safely? I may want to turbo the car eventually and would hate to not be able to do that, seems like I could just do some internal engine work and be fine any way at that point. I have actually decided I want a final...

    Traded my Gen 1

    Damn, would be simpler for me to find a trade too but probably will end up selling and go after the Viper I want. Forged/Supercharged, HRE Wheels, DVD Nav., etc. Will be featured in Corvette Mag soon.

    Opinion on subwoofer wiring

    Well that is how rumors get spread. One thing to say that Optimas aren't good batteries, saying that they aren't good in only Gen II Vipers doesn't make sense. If it was me I would run separate wiring to a stereo system and separate to the BAP. I have both of these in my car seperately wired.

    Fuel line popped off - advice on repair

    I can't disagree more with you either and it's almost laughable and not even worth replying to you. Are you serious? You could totally prevent a fire from spreading, there could be 0 damage if you have it out quickly, oh and you may prevent others from injury around the car.

    Going to the track with my GTS any advice?

    whoever suggested overfilling engine oil by 1 quart was off, dont do that ever in my opinion on any car.

    Took the 2001 out for her first ever 1/4 mile passes!

    What's the record time and trap speed in a stock Gen I or II Viper? I would have thought the trap speed to be higher. Definitely nothing to sneeze at for the first time out, great runs.

    Opinion on subwoofer wiring

    How would an optima battery last less in a Gen II Viper than any other car? If you get the correct size and a red top which is for cars you should be fine. One thing to note, optimas do not like to be killed and recharged. Every time your battery dies all the way you really reduce the life of...

    Fuel line popped off - advice on repair

    The first thing that nobody mentioned is fire extinguisher, make sure you put a full size one in your car before driving again, even going forward I think all heavily modified cars should have one, you never know what is routed strangely or may not hold up during racing etc. If that would have...

    Who likes Stripes?

    They are beautiful in any form! My dads was a 96 RT/10 White with blue stripes was really nice. And when the chrome wheels started to peel it looked like he had bronze wheels which looked cool too.

    MGW shifter

    On the vette it is accessible without removing anything but the trans is mounted in the rear and there is a torque tube. Dont think the same is for the Viper. I wouldnt do this on a stock shifter, only for short throw shifters that are extremely notchy. If you add too many washers and space...

    Who likes Stripes?

    I have an observation. On Vipers with plain hood the stripes are really needed, the hood is so huge and looks so plain without them. On the later years where the hood has the inlet in front and outlet on the sides, stripes are less necessary to break up the large hood because of the other...

    MGW shifter

    Yes I did it on my C5 Corvette with the MGW shifter and agree with your evaluation. I could have added one more washer to make it even easier. All you would need to know is the size fo the bronse washers to use I think it was 3/16 and add 1 or 2 of them based on preference.
