again thanks. I sooo wish this next year would fly by. I still remember the first viper I ever saw. I was a young kid of 100 I think. Also remember the first 3rd gen I saw. it was a convertable. tried to get him to race me in my 500+hp TA. He would not do it which was good for the both of us...
How many 1st gens out there do you think have not replaced their gaskets? we are talking cars that are over 13 years old right? should the gasket of blown by now even on a low milage one.
thanks for all of the replies. I do not know what I will end up with but I have it narrowed down to a 2006 or a gen1 if I can find a nice one. How can you know for sure if the head gaskets have been replaced on a gen1? I know the owner can just say it was done. hopefully they have a receipt for...
Still another 12 months before I can buy my dream car.
I did just get 3 diecast vipers and was admiring them. I know wierd but its all I have right now. I just love the looks of the gen1 vipers maybe even a little more than the newer versions.
From what I know, they do have less power...
Hi 1BADGTS,
I was not saying that my 454 build was the same as what you are talking about. I was simply trying to say that a 454 LSX will run me 11-12k and a crate 454 LSX was the same price as a comparision to his response that 11.5K was too much for a viper motor build.
Sorry if I was...
I am planning an LSX 454 with 14:1 compression. nice heads and it will cost me around 11-12K from a really good builder it will put down close to 800hp all motor. GM has a crate 454 mild build with 620hp for 12K. 11,500 sounds about right for a viper build if you are doing it right. Like you I...
good luck with your sale. I think your viper color is supposed to be one of the least popular colors available which I do not understand. I think it looks very classy. I know its not bright but it still looks like another great color to me.
I think all of the aftermarket power adders are fairly safe. The tune to me is the big issue if you bought/installed all other components. My TA blew up after 2 years and it did not have any power adders. It was a heads/cam/headers/high compression with what turned out to be a bad tune. It was a...
I am 80 miles from there. I am NOT in anyways a person who knows about vipers. I do know about cars though. If you do not get anyone else to go, I would be happy to check it out for you. I could take pictures and give you my number. then you could call me and tell me what to check for.
Is...
First, tons of great advice. I am planning on finacing my Viper next year. I never have and never would finance any car for more than 5 years and than is pushing it. my last vehicle I financed for 5 years but paid it off in 44 months. I do not mind streatching out the payments sometimes just in...
Much nicer way to post a thread sir. I truely hope you get the Viper of your dreams. I totally understand the frustration you went through and am hoping to get the support from members here when its my time to buy. I am sure you will get some help.
Thanks, It is absolutely driving me crazy seeing all of these awesome cars selling at such great prices for the buyer anyways. I hope one year goes by fast.
Merry Christmas to everyone.
Can I ask why you would want twin turbos? You have 500hp right now. If you are going to race alot I can understand it. If its for the cool factor, not sure I would waste the money or car. 500hp is a ton of power and more than 99% of the people need. I built a 508hp Trans Am from a brand new TA...
Well 3 of them. Sure wish they were a real one but its comming.

Wanted all 4 but the guy sold the blue one before I got there.
Its a start.
Drove up there a few months ago to "sit" for the first time in a Viper. Bill set aside time for me and I left with a nice set of Viper goodies. I am 100% positive I will buy my first Viper from Woodhouse.
so how do you get traction with all of that extra low end torque? I raced a Viper that supposedly had around 800hp a couple of years ago with my 508 hp Trans Am in the 1/4 mile at a track. I beat him to the end of the track, he was coming on like a bat out of hell but I beat him down the track...
nice information. I would be curious as to what members say about the superchargers. I am sure they get the down low extra boost that you may want, but do they have MORE traction issues with all of that down low power?
thanks for posting this as I am a future buyer. Very sorry to hear that your friend went through this. sounds like he might end up OK and only out a little.
I would love a new ACR, still have a year to decide. just doing more shoping and gathering info. trying to learn about some of the different dealerships or specialty dealers and what members here think about them. My company put all pay raises and promotions on a 6 month hold. this is the first...
