    Has anyone added stripes to their GTS after they bought it? I'm looking at two GTS' right now. I like them a lot, but would love to have white stripes on them (they're both red). Also, this one had it's transmission replaced under warranty from Chrysler. Was there a common issue with the...

    Cost of Viper hoods?

    Matt is right on. What scares the insurance company most and raises rates is the cost of liability. They're more afraid of the $100,000 or $1,000,000 they'll have to pay out for the person the Viper driver hits than the $50,000 or so they'll pay out for the car itself. That's one of the...

    Cost of Viper hoods?

    The car I had been calling about had already been repaired. Bonkers, you're right, I probably shouldn't have used the term "sheetmetal". I understand that the cars aren't truly metal, it's just the phrase I always use for the outer panels of most cars. I say the same thing when talking...

    Cost of Viper hoods?

    Thanks for the replies. The car I called about was a GenII. Sorry if my post sounded like a fishing expedition. It really wasn't, it just peaked my curiosity. I've seen several Vipers that are listed for sale as "salvage" and the seller claims it was basically just sheetmetal damage. Having...

    Cost of Viper hoods?

    I'm in the process of looking for a Viper. I called about one and found out that it had a salvage title. That removes my interest in the car, as I don't want to buy a salvage/reconstructed car. He mentioned that it only had damage to the hood and headlights. Out of sheer curiousity, does...

    Anyone in the Philly suburbs willing to show me their Gen II?

    Paul, Absolutely, that would be great. I'm still debating between GTS and RT/10, so it's great to see any car. Steve

    Anyone in the Philly suburbs willing to show me their Gen II?

    Nice to know that. My wife works in Doylestown. She can always take a Viper I get there. Yes....I'm going to let her drive it. I kinda have to if she's letting me finance the thing. :smirk:

    Insurance value

    Yes, if you're using the Viper as daily transportation, it's probably in your best interest to obtain an agreed value policy with them so that you know exactly what you will get if the car it totalled. As far as companies go, as long as the company is financially stable, you should shop around...

    Insurance value

    This is one area where I can offer help. I work in the auto insurance industry, and in fact my previous job was with Great American Insurance. I work in the claims department, and am a licensed appraiser, so I've got plenty of experience with this stuff. If you insure the car with State...

    autoform gen 1 hardtop and windows...

    What is it like to install and remove these tops? Do they lock on so the car is fairly secure from the outside? Steve

    What is Zoomies? Thanks for the offers guys. I'll see if I can make this weekend, but it's already looking busy. If I can't, I'll definitely be in touch to see if I can figure out another weekend soon. Steve

    Cruising up to Pocono Sunday to the Concourse

    Can you tell me more about this? I'm looking into buying a Viper, and it would be nice to see a bunch of them in one spot. I live about an hour from Pocono. Steve

    Anyone in the Philly suburbs willing to show me their Gen II?

    Is there anyone in the suburbs of Philadelphia, particularly to the north, who would be willing to show me their Gen II Viper? The more I read and research, I think that's the car that I'm looking for. I'm still undecided on an RT/10 vs. a GTS, but I think the Gen II would fit my wishes and my...

    Searching for assistance in learning about Vipers.

    I saw that silver Viper on Ebay, but it listed as having a transmission problem where you had to hold the shifter in reverse until letting out the clutch. That would concern me. And Andrew, if I modify my priorities any more, I'll have to modify my sleeping arrangement here at home...

    Searching for assistance in learning about Vipers.

    Thanks for the input guys, great feedback. The car would not be a daily driver for me. If I had a hard top and roll up windows (i.e. can completely lock the car up), I may take it to work once or twice per week during nice weather. But it would be a weekend fun car. However, having owned...

    Searching for assistance in learning about Vipers.

    I posted this same question on another Viper forum as well. I want to make sure I make the right decision when I buy a car, as I rushed into buying my last toy, and I spent more money changing it to what I really wanted in the first place than if I had just taken my time. I just sold my FFR...
