    Need Opinions-Keep Gen II or go to a Gen III

    Keep the GenII..throw the mods on. I also was considering selling my Gen II for a GenIII for the increased performance and braking but have since changed my mind. After seeing pictures of the new Vette was the clincher for me. That car resembles the Gen III waaaay too much for my liking...

    new stripes on my hotrod!!!!!

    I think the red and black combo looks awesome. The only other red and black besides you and Goldman that I have seen is Vipermads. I love that car. That would be the color stripe I would put on my red GTS if I ever decide to put em on or possibly the tanish- brownish color that someone has...

    Reliability of Vipers? Pros and Cons?

    I have owned my 98 gts for almost a year now....zero reliability problems. Just like you,I always wanted one for many years. My wife thought it was very impractical to buy and thought I was just going through some midlife crisis and figured I would drive it a few months and would get it...

    NY/NJ/CT Viper Cruise March 14 - Photos

    Re: NY/NJ/CT Viper Cluise March 14 - Photos I was looking for a yellow RT on the thruway heading back up north bound from the cruise when I was going southbound from a snowmobiling trip. I was probably a little early to catch a glimpse of Steve? I was on stretch of thruway from Albany to N.J...

    No more Zaino!, No more Zaino!, No more...

    have been using Meguiars Gold Class with great results but will now try NXT. Just hope the red shines as much as the yellow. Durability is not an issue for me if in fact it dosen't hold up very long. I am also not afraid of silicone if it contains any......I am sure I have used silicone...

    Just got whooped by a green Kawasaki

    Wow...For a minute there, I thought you had my wife in your car!.... until I read that she was pissed that you lost. My wife hates when I start driving fast or when i get easily egged on by another driver. She starts yelling at me and that makes it so hard to concentrate and drive. I have...

    Considering Viper GTS or Modified Z06 Vette

    I was kind of in the same situation as you about a year ago deciding on a vette or viper. I always loved the viper ever since they came out in '92 and always said that eventually I would own a viper. I almost "settled" for a new corvette around 2 years ago but decided to wait and save one...

    What is a Nice 98-99 GTS Going For?

    I paid 50k in July 03 for a 98GtS with 2,200 miles on it. Best money I ever spent. Happy as a pig in grease. I guess I might have been lucky. I purchased this car from e-bay sight unseen. Have heard some horror stories about purchases from e-bay but mine worked out great. Car is perfect...

    Lee Dove license plate bracket (thumbs up!!!)

    That bracket is much nicer than the standard Dodge bracket. Much better location....a little too late for me though. I almost cried when drilling through the fascia to put the standard bracket on. Almost decided not to put one on but now I don't want to give the cops any reason to be...

    Need Honest Opinion....

    Ditto...Couldn't have said it better myself. Even if you park far out of the way..people still crowd to it..you will always worry about this car no matter where you leave it. Don't worry bout the gas mileage...I have gotten as much as 22 MPG on the highway at 75 mph. Around town is worse but...

    Will the cold make my snake shed?

    Thanks Lee....that makes sense to me. I did see a couple corvettes out today also. RedEnuf(Lauri) ..Glad to hear you drive in cold temps. too....I was beginning to think I was the only one. Thought I was doing something wrong. other than the tires feeling like the treads have 6 coats of wax...

    Need some opinions

    Don't know a whole lot about rims(they are both nice wheels) but I kinda like the 6 spokes better myself.... The 5 spokes with the knurls or nuts or whatever which I assume are the HRE's look a little too busy for my taste. Give the lady her SSR's....she's gonna win anyway!

    Will the cold make my snake shed?

    This is more of a question for people in the cold climates but maybe someone with a knowledge of fiberglass or body repair can help too. I noticed that a lot of owners put their snake in hibernation over the winter. Either letting them sit or starting them up occasionally. This is my first...

    Start it or let it sit???

    Tim, This is also my first winter with my GTS. I was thinking of putting mine away for the winter and droping most insurance but decided to keep full insurance coverage on it so I can drive it on salt free days. I plan on going for a nice long drive tomorrow. I am not too worried about cold...

    Am I the only moron who has ever done this?

    When I first got my Viper I decided to totally detail it. I pulled the wheels off to grease the chasis and decided to clean wheel well area and also wash and wax the rims while they were off the car. When I was cleaning them I didn't realize the metal rims stuck out further than the tires. I...

    From what I have read the new Vet will be on the streets late summer to early fall 2004. I also read that it is rumored to possibly have a 500HP. badge on it's front fender by 2006 sometime.
