    WHICH TO BUY? 2000 RT10 OR 2001?

    Academic right? Both creampuffs and the newer one has ABS. BUT the same money and the 2000 has 10,000 miles and the 01 has 19,000. The 2000 is original owner and the 01 is from a dealer. Even with the mileage difference do I take the 01? Or do I take the fresher 2000 instead if I can beat the...

    Attn: Buyers- How much more is an original owner car worth to you?

    You would be surprised how few lookers you will get. There aren't a ton of Viper people to begin with, nor are there a lot of people in the market for a $50,000+ used car. If you are priced right I bet you don't get three calls in a month and you will sell to one of the first three people that...

    All things being equal how much more is a 99 worth than a 97 or 98?

    I think I am with you Jim, although a 1997 would be past any Chryco extended warranty where a 99 might not be. More options though if one can concentrate solely on condition, and the location of the unit. There are actually some well priced 99s as well but the mileage is a bit higher than a 97...

    All things being equal how much more is a 99 worth than a 97 or 98?

    I am looking for a red GTS with reasonable mileage on it. There are more 97s for sale than 98s or 99s it seems. I do want the forged internals. I don't care which cam the car has so other than 18" wheels on a 99 what am I getting? If you had to go out and buy one tomorrow and you had three clean...

    Attn: Buyers- How much more is an original owner car worth to you?

    Probably not much except for transferance of a warranty. Unless you know the owner personally it is pretty hard to say he didn't thrash the car or let his son/idiot brother or whomever blow the carbon out from time to time. A thorough mechanical inspetion and knowledge of the accident history...

    Where to find a wrecked/salvage project viper????

    http://www.wreckedexotics.com/classifieds/ Find out who are the largest autowreckers in your area, probably Seattle as well. A lot of vehicles are brought to salvage yards and the insurance companies that pay out for them have them up for bids. Where there is public bidding allowed it is you...

    Re: Jesus\'s Supra goes down to my Viper at Speedworld So the next time you hear someone say "What would Jesus do?" you can respond "10.577 at 142!"

    1986 Grand National beats on a GTS????

    I thought I answered this post already but I don't see my response. Nobody said the GN was stock. Various people have pointed out these cars run around a 14.0 flat in stock trim and the rarer and quicker GNX still is only mid to low 13s. A GTS even with a bad driver should crush one easily. But...

    1986 Grand National beats on a GTS????

    A GN can run high 11s with an internally stock engine and stock turbos(with drag radials and race gas). Most GTS owners aren't running under a 12.0 stock. Nothing at all farfetched about it. See the mod lists for some of the guys on this board. http://www.turbobuick.com/messagebd/ Now whether...

    What other cars did you look at before deciding on your Viper?

    Not sure if this is the right forum for the question but I am really interested in what other cars were on your shopping list before deciding on a Gen 1 or Gen 2. And do you still wonder about these other candidates?

    My Viper is still for sale in Canada

    If you think the Canadian market is weird for Vipers try getting rid of a Z06 Vette. My 03 is clean and still on warranty and priced under everything else on the internet and absolutely NO action. The weather in Edmonton is going into the toilet now so I am stuck with it until spring and you...

    HP & Torque Loss?

    The weight of the drivetrain is the big cause of parasitic horsepower loss. It doesn't change as the horsepower goes up but frictional losses would be somewhat higher. There is no basis to assume a constant percentage of loss as the power goes up. It is not really a percentage of anything. There...

    From Stealth TT to Viper... Can it compare?

    Going from a 320hp 3800lb car to a 450hp 3500lb car is huge. The difference in acceleration will blow you away and losing that weight and the AWD/AWS the handling is is totally different. The Stealth/VR4 have a predictable stability about them. The Viper is a much better handling car at the...

    What's the longest road trip you have taken in your Viper?

    Re: What\'s the longest road trip you have taken in your Viper? Nice responses. I think it helps clarify how usable the car is. Vipers are not considered suitable for daily drivers by most people but the fact that they are often used for fairly long trips shows they are not total weekend toys...

    How to identify if a viper has been in an accident...

    Absolutely take it to a body shop. Not every Dodge connected body shop can do great work on plastic cars but pretty well any journeyman bodyman can put the car up on a hoist and tell you if it has ever been repaired. This is a lot more reliable method than Carfax, for any vehicle. I have bought...

    What's the longest road trip you have taken in your Viper?

    What\'s the longest road trip you have taken in your Viper? I know a few people use their Viper as a daily driver but how many of you have ever taken your cars on trips? How did you fare?

    Is that a Corvette? What the.....?

    He probably thought it was a Cobra. There are actually a few people around that got to drive them before they all became garage queen trading toys for collectors.

    How important is ABS to you? Worth the extra $ for an 01-02?

    I have been kicking the tires on a Viper for a while. The early Gen 2 cars are available for pretty good prices. For a street only car does anyone regret not holding out for the ABS models? I know compared to ABS models the stopping difference from high speeds is huge but I honesty can't...

    Corvette Z06 guys say a stock Viper would not beat a MOD Z06

    I'll bite. It looks like a 450whp vette got walked, not just beaten, by a stock SRT which was also carrying a passenger. I would not be expecting this result either. Even if the SRT was a special car that actually put 450hp to the rears itself, the torque advantage would be nullified by the...

    Going from 17's to 19's - Help!!

    Re: Going from 17\'s to 19\'s - Help!! If you go on the Tire Rack web site it gives you the specs for tires including diameter. Going from 17s to 19s, depending on the manufacturer, would get you 1 1/2" at best and the 19' wheels and tires are ungodly expensive. You can probably get an 18' tire...

    Why is the head gasket change $1200 for parts?

    I have seen a few threads, mostly dealing with Gen 1 cars where it mentions that a head gasket swap will still run $1200 even if you do it yourself. What exactly are you getting for $1200.00?

    What did they do to get the hp boost for the Gen2 cars?

    Was it a bunch of here and there tweaks or was there some major internal changes?
