    I couldn't agree more. Nothing better at the end of a long hard day than a cruise in the Viper (or Vipper :)).

    I'll freely admit I expect moderators to move posts to the forum that is most appropriate for the topic. I am on many car forums and the best moderators do an outstanding job of not letting forums get cluttered with topics that are accidentally placed by the OP in the wrong forum. Magazine...

    Approx value of 1996 GTS Coupe Blue with white stripes

    I looked at this one as well. Like Sharky, I looked at the total purchase price and anyone in the US would have to pay to import it to the US. Way too expensive all in.

    "Small World" heartwarmer Story - Scam Reversed

    Re: "Small World" heartwarmer Story - Scam Reversed Great to hear Jon. Over the long run, good customer service is usually rewarded and glad to see that happened here.

    Approx value of 1996 GTS Coupe Blue with white stripes

    I've been looking for a low mileage 96 GTS for a while. Asking prices seem to be in mid to upper $60K range USD. I am not sure what they are selling for, if they are actually selling. There is one in Ontario Canada that has been for sale for a while. I said I would not pay their asking...

    Vipers at BJ

    That would be an excellent observation.

    Shelby GT500 to Viper...

    Lots of great input here. I'd certainly support the recommendation to see/drive a Gen II before purchasing. The Gen II is an awesome machine but nothing like a new Mustang/Vette or even newer Viper. It is very raw from a driving experience. If that is what you are after you'll enjoy it. If...

    Rocky Mountain Radar Detectors?

    I've always used Valentine. I can't tell you if the V1 is really all that better than any of the others but I do like the directional arrows. I own two units and I've had one of the units for over 12 years and I have no complaints. With that said, seems to be a challenge to get a solid review...

    Big Dude in Viper Gen II

    I'm a tad over 6' 4" and the sun visors were the first thing to go. I think the interior looks cleaner without them. I find getting in/out of the car is a bit uncomfortable but other than that, it's a pleasure to drive. The only complaint I really ever had was the lack of a dead pedal in the...

    Since you are a member, that door panel must have a valid VIN! :) Great post!!!

    It's with heavy heart I have to post this.

    That makes no sense as the comments on the You Tube video note. Watching all the onlookers with iPads & cell phones filming, it certainly doesn't look like some official action. Be interesting to hear what this really is.

    Are Viper guys true MOPAR fans or just a specialized sect?

    I am simply an American muscle car guy. I've got a few muscle cars as noted below and have owned/sold quite a few more. The only "late-model" American muscle I own are the Vipers. I do have a C6 Vette but while an awesome piece of engineering it doesn't elicit the testosterone rush that the...

    Asking vs Getting

    I am also in the market for a low-mileage '96 GTS. I use Keith Martin's Sports Car Market guide which is published regularly and tracks most auction results and sales. I also have access to the Hagerty Price guide as a customer/member of Hagerty. Every price guide I see puts the value in the...

    My Observations about VCA - This is NOT Good

    Keeping the juice flowing

    Everything should be fine when you reconnect the battery other than losing your favorite radio stations. Regarding a floor jack, the Viper sits so low that you'll likely need a low-profile floor jack (or just use the supplied jack). There are a few threads on this already (here is one that...

    My Observations about VCA - This is NOT Good

    That's a good question. I am an old muscle car guy and have a number of older cars that are in need of parts for a concourse restoration or have already been restored. The list includes Ford, GM and Mopar. Admittedly, a different era (late '60's and early '70's) than the mid-late '90's and...

    My Observations about VCA - This is NOT Good

    Moparboyy: You are certainly coming across as a tool of the VOA. It appears you intentionally posted this in a public (non-member) forum so that any potential new VCA members would see this and might be influenced by your supposed "good of the order" comments. You (and others) talk about how...

    Keeping the juice flowing

    You may have already thought of this but if there is a standard light socket (not fluorescent) you can purchase an extension for your light socket that will have one or two outlets you can use. I used this approach one before and it worked fine. Even if it does have fluorescent lights you can...

    VCA Drama: what are the known facts?

    Best post I've read on this topic in the last month on any of the forums. I wonder how many members simply don't renew in 2014 and wait to see what becomes of this morass that folks on both sides have created? Not too much different than watching our federal government implode over the last month.

    Garage parking lift

    I also have two 4-post lifts from Greg Smith Equipment and am very happy (owned both about 7 years). I installed both myself with no problems. Took about 2-3 hours each. I don't raise/lower the lift that often so I don't put a lot of load on them but overall not a single problem.

    Sneaky Pete Graphic

    I am looking to have a graphic made for my trailer and need a high resolution graphic of the Sneaky Pete logo. If anyone has one that I could use I would appreciate it. Please PM me if you do. Thanks much

    GTS Shopper

    There is really nothing different between a car that is driven and a car that is "just sitting" as it relates to degradation of seals, bushings, etc. The chemistry works the same way in both cases. I'd be more concerned with environment where the car was stored (i.e. dry hot climate vs...
