Dan, as always, you are an invaluable contributor of vital free information on these forums. Thanks so much! I got exactly the kind of answers I was looking for. Reliability trumps increased performance on my priority list, so it looks like I'll be giving you a call after this upcoming winter...
Thank you all for your responses! I will strongly consider the Gen IV oil pan conversion if I decide to get serious about racing the car. Dan, have you seen oil starvation failures that happened during street driving? Also, is Gen III oil starvation an on/off phenomenon (you are either 100% fine...
Forgive me for the noob question but I’m early in my freshman year of viper ownership. My preliminary research indicated a fairly robust, if not bulletproof, stock Gen III drivetrain, plagued by only a few minor common defects such as occasional plugged cats, shattered diffs at hard launches...
Thanks, Texas! Good luck with your choice! The good thing is that if you end up not liking the end result, it's relatively inexpensive to go back or try another color. Congratulations on a beautiful clean looking ride.
And yes, good eye. The only aesthetic point of disagreement between Kyle...
I think it's really a function of what wheels you'd like to go with, as the wheels make a bigger first impression than the emblem(s). I used to be a big fan of silver/chrome six spokes on a red SRT and was determined to get that combo, but instead ended up buying a red SRT with black wheels...

Agreed that cars need to be lowered asap. Found too many negative opinions about Eibachs, though. I see Motons in my future, this summer is almost over.
Thanks everyone for the warm welcome and the encouraging words! This is truly a great community. Austin, thank you for the photoshop suggestions, they all look great! I'll be back with an update once I get the car.
FrgMstr,
I contacted you very courteously and discretely through a PM, asking if you by any chance were the prior owner. I apologized for invading your privacy that way and said that I would completely understand if you'd rather not respond to me even if you, in fact, were the prior owner. YOU...
I guess it's time for the "nutty" buyer of the car to weigh in. This is not exactly how I imagined my "new viper owner" first post, especially since I haven't yet taken delivery of the car. The only remaining privately communicated confidential information about this transaction that was not...
