    I saw the photos of the two silver/titanium gen 5's with white stripes and started looking for my real estate broker's ph # to list my house! Then read they were photoshopped. :confused:

    Who Sold Their Viper and Came Back After Owning somethiong Else ?

    I have sold Vipers twice and regretted it each time. Each time due to anticipated financial difficulty that turned out to be not so bad. I wish I could have either of those cars back.

    Gen iv 08, 09 & 10

    In '09 there were changes to the PCM. Ex: Reprogram of the throttle by wire and other changes that make it much more difficult and expensive to add a skip shift eliminator

    Confused Newbie deciding between 2001 GTS ACR and 1996 GTS ...Man this is tough!!!

    Re: Confused Newbie deciding between 2001 GTS ACR and 1996 GTS ...Man this is tough!! Normally I would cast a vote for the ACR but would have reservations if the owner removed the stripes. That means a repaint of the car. That would cost a lot or be a poor job.

    Was the Viper Engine originally a v-10 TRUCK engine sent off to Lamborghini? ---

    The venerable Ford small block (221ci, 260, 289, 302, 351, 400) was developed by Ford's truck division and turned out pretty well for passenger car use. The 360 Chrysler motor always seemed to use excess fuel in relation to horsepower produced. It's development coincided with the poor running...

    '06 5 spoke wheels. Clearcoated?

    When I polished the wheels only the one had the aluminum black residue on the polish cloth. The other three had no black residue. That is an indication that at least the early 5 spokes were coated. My '09 had 6 spokes and they left a residue also. Most of the time I enjoy the wheels that can be...

    '06 5 spoke wheels. Clearcoated?

    I have an '06 VOI 9 car. When cleaning the wheels I noticed that 3 of them were clearcoated and 1 was not (polished to a shine much brighter than the coated ones). I am curious as to why 1 is not clearcoat. Perhaps a wheel had damaged clearcoat and was repaired without the clearcoat or a wheel...

    Have To Sell My Perfect Viper, Which I Just Bought!

    I have sold Vipers twice because of financial reasons. Both times the crunch turned out not as bad as anticipated and both times I REALLY regretted selling the Vipers. Wish I had either car back. I loved those cars.

    Which Viper to buy?

    I've owned 2 gen 2 coupes (ACR and FE/Daytona24), a gen 3 coupe (VOI 9), and a gen 4 (09). The gen 4 was by far the best car. I sold it back in October for $65k w only 3k miles. Deals are out there.

    gen3 stripe question

    Gen 4 hood on '06 VOI 9. Hood is painted first and then the stripes painted on for the ridge effect.

    Gen 3 - Gen 4 hood swap

    I don't believe the grills are that obstructive. I put the grills in because without made the hood look unfinished and cheaper in my opinion.

    gen3 stripe question

    Painted stripes usually are wider towards the middle to give an optical illusion of being even.

    Sound deadening or barrier... Exhaust drone and noise control.

    Just out of curiousity, why would you want to subject others to a noise you yourself want to diminish?
