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

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.
