    100 Octane Gas

    Racing fuel will do nothing more than give you that sweet aroma out of the exhaust. Unless you have a built motor with better than 10:1 or 10.5:1 compression, it's a waste of money, as other people have said. You will never run 11:1 or 12:1 motor on pump gas.....without serious consequenses...

    CarFax Report - fact or fiction??

    After reading about so many people relying on Carfax reports and the questionable reliability of these reports, I ran across this on eBay. A wrecked '98 GTS being sold, clearly indicated by the seller's description with a salvage title, yet out of curiosity, I ran it thru Carfax......amazingly...

    RT pricing?

    Thanks for all the input.....numbers are right around where I'm at. I'll post photos when I get the car. Cycleryan: I thought the fiber head gaskets were not changed to metal until the GenII motors.....the '96/RT is still a GenI car with GenII suspension. Is this not correct?? Thanks...

    RT pricing?

    For those of you who are savy with current market conditions/pricing. What would be a fair price to pay for a '96 RT/10 w/double bubble and A/C in 'showroom condition' with less than 7k on the odometer? Not looking for an unrealistic low-ball number, but rather a realistic expectation in...

    '96 RT/10 - factory 450/HP?

    Re: \'96 RT/10 - factory 450/HP? Fred, I didn't know that '96 RT's lacked air-bags. Oh well, I'm an "older timer" (notice I didn't say 'old timer') geez....at 52, not quite there yet. So I'm used to driving my Cobra with no air bags and my '74 corvette has none either....the Cobra is just...

    "This car is perfect, just like new"

    Re: Gerald, Yes, that's exactly what carfax reported. From the posts and comments by yourself, SylvanSRT, ViperJoe and BlueGTS, it certainly confirms what most of us in the supercar sector already know......don't rely on carfax to reveal all problems with a potential car. Take it at face...

    '96 RT/10 - factory 450/HP?

    Re: \'96 RT/10 - factory 450/HP? REDSLED and Fred......thanks for the input. For awhile there, I thought that my viper search would have to start all over again, only looking at gen II cars. You helped put my mind at ease. thanks

    "This car is perfect, just like new"

    Re: \"This car is perfect, just like new\" For what it's worth, I pulled a carfax on this car. No salvage title reported, was initially reg as commercial, which is not unusual. Mileage as of 4/22/02 was 38,587 (reported by Vehicle Repair Center Belmont, CA - vehicle serviced) History shows 3...

    '96 RT/10 - factory 450/HP?

    Re: \'96 RT/10 - factory 450/HP? Thanks to everyone for your responses and the heads up on the Gen I/Gen II issue, however, I didn't get any feedback on the question below.... "is there a great deal of difference in power/torque from gen I and gen II motors?" Being quite used to 'stump...

    '96 RT/10 - factory 450/HP?

    Re: \'96 RT/10 - factory 450/HP? Joe... The only reason is that the seller indicated (in a dealer service document that is being mailed to me)that it was a "second generation motor", a newer improved version for '96. Which I now realize is the 415hp "tuned" version with the air intake...

    '96 RT/10 - factory 450/HP?

    Re: \'96 RT/10 - factory 450/HP? Fred..... After looking at the pics of the '96 RT in question, I see clearly that it DOES have the alternator mounted center/top of the motor, like you said. I am going to buy this car. I'm waiting on receiving some original Dodge Viper dealer documents that...

    '96 RT/10 - factory 450/HP?

    \'96 RT/10 - factory 450/HP? According to Dodge Viper Central, '96 RT/10's and GTS's all shared the same 450/HP motor. I have seen conflicting specs on this indicating that the '96 RT/10 had the 415/hp motor and the GTS, the 450. How can you positively identify the 415 from the 450 motor? From...
