    97 GTS Crank Pinning with Garrett

    I would have to think it "could" lossen over time.. Now.. Some might never come lose..The crank isn't keyed, and the way it spins the threads on the Crank Bolt should have been the other way this way this problem would never occur.. I wonder why they did them like that?

    CarAndDriver - Gen 5 vs Gen 2 Viper

    Still 17yrs older and looks sooooo good. And the sound. That 97 sounded great... I like the analog gage layout of the Gen II. The 2013 looks good and I like thw Viper lighting up when you rev it. But that Gen II is Timeless!!!
