CCW Race classic wheels
That's wild, I want to say those are the wheels that used to be on my car from it's previous life. I chose a different set of CCWs when I bought the car, never knew where the other ones went. I guess a scammer found them lol.- BoondocSaint

New owner, SE PA
Congrats on the new purchase and welcome to the community. If you are curious how a 2nd gen GTS stacks up against modern cars, I dropped a link to a great youtube channel. They boasted some of the best performance numbers new, and they are surprisingly capable cars by todays standards...- BoondocSaint

Hagerty: 5 Cars Taking Losses to Start 2026
This phenomenon isn't unique to the Viper. Just to name a few, the Lamborghini Countach, Ferrari Testarossa, Ferrari 355, Ferrari 308 and Porsche 993 all went through this. You look back when these cars were trading for pennies on the dollar, (the budget collector sports cars), they are all now...- BoondocSaint

Hagerty: 5 Cars Taking Losses to Start 2026
I find the parts aspect to be give and take. Some sports cars of this vintage and notoriety will bankrupt you at any level of restoration. The drivetrain and suspension cost in these cars is pretty on par with most run of the mill vehicles. On the other hand... a set of headlights can cost as...- BoondocSaint

97 GTS
Carfax definitely can have title discrepancies depending on the lengths someone is willing to go through to wash a title, or how accurate the reporting was in the first place. See if you can pull up an accident report to verify. Something that happened that long ago may be archived depending on...- BoondocSaint

Hagerty: 5 Cars Taking Losses to Start 2026
Yep, unfortunately, Dodge or Chrysler don't carry the same weight as Ferrari or Lamborghini in the sports car collector/enthusiast market. I'm sure we'll see some future bumps if a Ford vs Ferrari type movie about the Viper program ever comes to fruition, or when Dodge resurrects the Viper at...- BoondocSaint

Oil Pan Mystery
What was the trap door that came in these pans? I've seen aftermarket ones that are supposed to help with g-loading oil starvation, always planned to pick some up and install them. Are these ones a similar design to the aftermarket? My 99 ACR was built in May, really has me wondering if I have a...- BoondocSaint

Oil Pan Mystery
I'll definitely be paying closer attention when I do my next oil change. Normally I just fill until it's good, but now I want to know which pan that good corresponds to lol.- BoondocSaint

Similar shaped headlight buckets?
Ironically, the headlights were originally designed for the BMW Z1. BMW obviously went a different direction with the design, so GE pretty much gave them away. The Viper made better use of them if you ask me. For your FrankenViper build, I would think you could 3d scan the lenses you have and...- BoondocSaint

Why did ACRs never have special engines?
-Viper program was much smaller in both production numbers and especially budget. -There never has been a "base" model Viper like Corvette or Porsche does. Corvette has models like Z06, ZR1 etc. to compete at or above what Viper does across the entire platform. -The V10 in it's own right is...- BoondocSaint

Stupid question about water pump
Thanks for that heads up. Never liked the price of first born child to get a water pump rebuilt. I figure it's in the cards for a rebuild at some point in the near future.- BoondocSaint

Low mileage cars and 'fixing' issue
I had the same issue so I tucked my sensor in rather than remove it. It is out of site out mind, and I can find different struts in the future. For now they are perfectly functional.- BoondocSaint

Looking for OEM HVAC control knobs
Maybe someone else can confirm, but they look to be the same as Ford E series (econoline vans) of similar year groups. Dorman also sells a replacement of the same hvac knob. Wouldn't be surprised as our light switches are out of a Ford from what I recall.- BoondocSaint

Low mileage cars and 'fixing' issue
Being a pre smart phone and high-speed internet car, I find that a lot of information about older Vipers has become lore at this point. Randos buying an old GTS won't know the difference and most dealers will know even less. All of that being said, people wanting clean examples and willing to...- BoondocSaint

1 of 60 2002 Viper plaque
A little more info about the car it's in might help narrow it down. I've seen factory plaques in 98 GT2 cars, 99-02 ACRs, 02 Final Edition cars, Hennessy Venom cars of gen 2 GTS years, and even the first 99 GTS ACR rolled off the line to Ron Wade with his own custom ACR console plaque. Not...- BoondocSaint

DE-Supercharging a Viper? How big of a task is this?
If it is a centrifugal supercharger it is not a monumental task. You will need to get the car tuned afterwards to ensure proper running. If it is a ROE supercharger, also not a difficult task if you are mechanically inclined. You will need to install the factory intake manifold after removal of...- BoondocSaint

Value Question 2002 Viper GTS ACR Final Edition
Low $90s is probably a safe bet. Some people might add value for it being an abs and final edition car if that matters to them. There have been plenty of ACR'S for sale as of late, and the ones heading into six figure territory have sat for a long time. Reality of these cars is most people who...- BoondocSaint
