To ABS, or to not ABS.... That is the Question.
Its a confidence issue. If money isnt the concern the ABS cars are just slightly better all around anyway, there is no downside to going that route. The only time youre going to need the ABS... and you WILL need it eventually... is on a track (if youre racing for numbers) and like others said...- Bonkers

Oil Filter Recommendations
No, what im saying is that 15w50 has as kinetic flow rate of 14.588[mm2/s] at 210d while 0w30 has a 14.527[mm2/s.] At zero degrees its 1480[mm2/s] and 550[mm2/s.] When you are running at speed there is no appreciable difference between ANY off the shelf oil (except Amsoil, that shit is unsafe...- Bonkers

Pre Purchase Inspection for Rebuild Title
And just to be clear - im a huge fan of rebuilt and rebuildable Vipers, but they do come with their own brand of headaches. For me its the Florida connection that draws the biggest red flag - $35k is high but isnt terrible. If you told me that this car was rebuilt by Tator, or Havik, or...- Bonkers

Pre Purchase Inspection for Rebuild Title
Where was the Salvage Title first cleared and the Rebuilt Title issued? If this was all done in Florida it would have to be a SCREAMING deal, like $20k or less, for me to even consider it. Florida is notorious for work-a-rounds on fraudulent title work... ... That being said, if the car was...- Bonkers

Oil Filter Recommendations
When oil is hot there is no difference in fluid pressure of ANY off the shelf oil weights. All hot motor oils flow (statistically speaking) at the same rate. The difference regarding the filter is during start-up when the oil is cold. I run M1-15w50 on all my V10s because (spiritually) the...- Bonkers

New to the Viper forums, looking to knock on this guys door and give him a offer for this 8 year yard ridden gen 2
My advice. Dont. Ignoring the lack of class of walking up to someones house and knocking on the door to ask about their property, if you have no previous experience with Vipers then you would be diving into a very deep pool on one of that condition. Your "experience" as a mechanic is...- Bonkers

Who'll be 1st to put Falconer in Viper?
People here like their Vipers and what they are, dropping a $65k (illegal to use on the highway btw) chevy motor into one is just a boring waste of time. With $65k you can get more power and provenance just upgrading the stock V10, and depending on the builder, actually increase the value...- Bonkers

HELP HELP HELP!!!
Also remember, "New" does not mean "Not Broken." I just went through four brand new starters on my Excursion before i got one that could crank the engine. Id recheck the "new" stuff just to be sure, focusing on whether you have fuel pressure. It could be something as simple as a clogged fuel...- Bonkers

I have 94 rt/10. 8,330 miles Has upgrades, would like to know Its value.
You are selling at a real lull in the Viper Market. Without some MUCH better pics, especially of the front end damage, and clarification on Title status youre basically selling a parts car. A nice, running 94 floats around $40k these days - Minus $5k for bad title, Minus $5k for sitting so...- Bonkers

Insurance
This doesnt surprise me... When i had Nationwide, anyone was allowed to drive it, but there was no agreed upon value and my monthly rate was just under $400.

Inherited a 94 Viper want to sell I don’t know anything about them.
Honestly, the prices are all over the board with Gen1s. If you are looking for top dollar these days youre going to have to learn quite a bit about the car, market it, and be prepared for a VERY particular type of clientele... If you just want a quick sale, your best bet is (like mentioned...- Bonkers

MD New Viper Owner
Hennessy cars are notoriously poorly built, especially Vipers. My first suggestion is to get it to Tator, Havik, or Sessions (the 3 closest to MD,) or some other Viper Guru to do a FULL inspection. There is a 70/30 chance its not the "spec" you think it is, and its something you need to be...- Bonkers

Advice needed - fix or sell as is?
Six one way, half dozen the other. "Not running" you will take a MASSIVE hit up front, no question. Nobody pays full price for a car without knowing if the engine needs replacement, or if it even drives. Even as a running project, youre looking at $10k+ higher asking price. The flip side is...- Bonkers

Honest feedback on this wing choice
Im a huge wing fan, but im gonna say No. That doesnt compliment the lines of the convertible or stock suspension - gives me the feel of a FnF leftover part, or Keystone Special than a serious performance enhancement. Sorry.- Bonkers

I dont begrudge anyone doing anything they want with their own car. But im not even going to waste the time clicking the link because, regardless of opinion, just acknowledging it gives him a paycheck. No such thing as bad publicity in the era of social media.- Bonkers

New to the site
Welcome! Without driving it much expect it to be moody when you do. Vipers do not handle boredom well and the ethanol in the gas can cause some issues once it settles out.

What special Viper do i have? Strange GTS Combination
Also, Dodge "Viper" could not be trademarked in many European markets, so its not odd for the badging to be missing or the paperwork to be off. By the Gen3 it was simply an SRT-10. But i agree with the above, none of those upgrades are OEM or even Mopar Performance. I hope the seller did not...- Bonkers

Battery tender and mounting it inside engine bay
I have a a wire mount attached to the jump point, but i HIGHLY dont recommend that.

Napa Green Antifreeze ok? 1997 Viper…
Its been a long time since i dealt with coolant, and im currently on the road right now so take this reply with a grain of salt... It will be okay, but you really should flush the system and switch to the Mopar Orange/Pink. The Green will attack the aluminum in the block over time. If you want...- Bonkers
