Nice VIPER gift from Dad
Got a nice Viper gift from pops this week. He helped me build/restore some of my first cars so he knows better than anyone how long I have waited to finally be in position to buy a Viper and how much it means to me. As I mentioned in my introduction post a while back I built a garage with...- JimK

what muscle cars do you think will be the next sought after
Why wouldnt you include the 1997 B/W GTS Coupe right in there with the 96? Its a better built car with a lower build number(435) and without all the TSB's as the 96. I'm thinking the 97 B/W GTS Coupe will be just as sought after down the road as the 96 after time has had its way with them. If...- JimK

claybar
One of the main reasons to claybar besides achieving a better finish/result, is preservation. All those microscopic shards of bare metallic debris (brake dust, rail dust, etc) imbedded in the paints surface start oxidizing immediately. As someone mentioned above, run a plastic baggy over the...- JimK

Look at my friends viper!!!
uhhhh - something doesnt jive with this story! If you had the $$ to drop on such a beautiful exotic machine (especially at that time), why wouldnt you drive it? Unless... 1. you bought it as an investment OR 2. you were too busy driving your other exotics either scenario - why...- JimK

Do you think $45K will buy a 2006 coupe at years end?
Spoke to an economist this week that fears the US credit rating could be downgraded. IF that happens, inflation/higher interest rates, more job losses etc here we come! I can't believe the clowns we have running our country right now - an empty Chanel suit as Speaker, a bumbling fool that...- JimK

looking to buy, need advice
The more I hear HORROR stories like these, the more convinced I am that I will not go near a potential candidate (I will be in the market soon for a 96 or 97 B/W GTS) without a VCA member/Viper owner in tow! Jim- JimK

Does the VIPER really exist?
Thats definately the case with the magazines and my second example (the reviewer of the Ford GT, he just bold-faced lied to promote the GT). But the show that was produced for Discovery HD, I don't see what would be in it for Mclaren (the car profiled is long out of production and always...- JimK

Does the VIPER really exist?
Why though? You'd think they'd be slobbering over the Viper based solely on looks and performance alone - and the fact that its so affordable (by comparison) would be a huge point of pride...or point of being included period! Instead, most of the time they outright act like it doesnt exist...- JimK

Does the VIPER really exist?
I swear, unless you're personally aware of what an incredible "exotic" car the Viper is, you'd think it didn't exist based on mainstream media, documentaries etc. Time after time, I've seen shows, read articles in some magazines and other publications when "exotic" or "supercars" are brought...- JimK

About to realize 15 year dream!
Hey Grape - I'm also from the West Suburbs - Elgin. Your story is ironic - last year I wanted a fun daily driver for summer to tide me over until I buy a Viper without gauging into the Viper fund too much. I remembered reading an "Automobile Magazine" article where Mario Andretti said his...- JimK

Hey all - "15 Year Dream" guy here - posted a couple weeks back that I had started the due dilligence to put myself in a 1996 or 97 Blue/White Viper GTS by Spring. Anyway - as per the suggestion of a few on that thread, I ordered the Viper Buyers Guide from said dot com. I placed the...- JimK

viperDoug - I agree 100%! Its all about form AND function with the Viper. Form-wise its a muscular masterpiece - one beautiful design cue leading to another. No weakness in its lines anywhere IMO. Anyone see the Discovery HD special this month on the museum show of the cars from Ralph Lauren's...- JimK

About to realize 15 year dream!
Hey Chuck - When I get out there and start really kicking tires, I'll give you a shout! One quick question for now - after going back and forth for some time about color choice (red or blue/white), I always come back to blue/white. I was seriously thinking RED for a while recently and then I...- JimK
